Bedtime stories with a growth goal, personalized for every child.
Lunia creates pedagogical bedtime stories that support your child's emotional development. Every story is crafted around one of four goals — sleep, bravery, confidence, or empathy — and shaped by your child's name and today's emotional focus.
Grounded in Bandura · Wolpe · Hoffman · Selman · RULER
Four growth goals
Every story is designed as a pedagogical response to your child's emotional challenge today.
Peaceful Sleep
Calming, body-slowing narratives for bedtime wind-down.
Overcoming Fears
Stories that gently introduce feared elements and transform them into friends.
Building Confidence
Heroes experience small achievements through their own effort.
Empathy & Sharing
Seeing the world through another character's eyes, recognizing emotions.
How it works
Parent-guided, AI-generated, screen-free listening.

Screen-free, calm, personal.
Research-backed storytelling
Lunia's narrative structure is grounded in child development psychology research: Bandura's vicarious learning theory, Wolpe's gradual exposure method, Hoffman's empathy development model, Selman's perspective-taking stages, and Marc Brackett's (Yale) RULER emotion lexicon.
A PLOS One 2024 study found that a regular bedtime reading routine significantly improves empathy and creativity in children aged 6-8. Lunia amplifies this effect by personalizing every story to your child's specific emotional need.
Screen-free listening
Lunia is audio-first. Your child simply listens — no screen interaction required. Ideal for bedtime routines, car rides, or quiet time.
Parent-managed
You choose the story, your child listens. All control is yours: goal selection, child profile, subscription management. Lunia is a parent-managed audio platform.
Lunia is coming to the App Store
