Hey Product Hunters! š
Iām Andrew, a proud dad and IT geek whoās thrilled (and slightly nervous!) to finally introduce you to my little passion project: AnyTales, Bedtime Stories for Kids! šāØ
As the dad of a wonderfully energetic 7-year-old daughter, Iāve faced the universal bedtime challenge more than once. Some evenings she was bouncing off the walls, and nothing seemed to calm her down. Not white noise, not soft music⦠until we discovered the magic of storytelling. š§āāļøš
After exploring numerous apps and services, I quickly realized many of them relied heavily on AI-generated content or unfamiliar tales. Call me nostalgic, but I wanted my daughter to fall asleep to the classic, timeless stories I loved as a kid. Stories filled with warmth, wisdom, and a bit of magic. But finding these beloved classics in one cozy, calming, and kid-friendly place proved challenging.
So I decided to build it myself. š
The trickiest part was figuring out the content rights. Luckily, most classic tales enter the public domain 70 to 100 years after the authorās passing. That made it safe and ethical to share the enchanting stories we all grew up with.
And thatās how AnyTales was born. Iāve created both a comforting website (https://anytales.com) and a cozy iOS app (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bedtime-stories-anytales/id6739168587), lovingly curated and designed with soothing narration and gentle background sounds. My daughter was my first beta tester (and a tough critic!), and soon friends and family joined in with great feedback and suggestions.
Today, Iām really excited (and still a little nervous!) to share AnyTales with you, the amazing Product Hunt community. š Your thoughts, feedback, and suggestions would mean the world to me.
If youāve got little ones, Iād love it if you gave AnyTales a try at bedtime tonight. I canāt wait to hear your stories and theirs too!
Thanks so much, everyone! Much love and sweet dreams! š

This is pure heart, Andrew. Love how youāve wrapped nostalgia and storytelling into a calming experience. Curiousāare you thinking about adding a āfavoritesā or playlist feature so kids can revisit the stories they love most night after night?
@shreyans_assistivĀ Thank you so much for the kind words - you just made my day!
A āfavoritesā feature is exactly what Iām working on next. Iāve already heard from a handful of parents whoāve said their kids keep asking for the same tale every night (āGoldilocks AGAIN!ā š ), so the ability to bookmark and queue stories is high on the roadmap. Plus a gentle-music layer with a simple toggle so you can switch the background music off anytime.
