StoryForge
20 minutes a day. One story. Together.
StoryForge is a co-storytelling ritual for parents and children. Each day, the app offers a fresh prompt — a setting, a character, an obstacle — and parent and child take turns filling in the story by voice or text. A hard 20-minute cap ends the session; the story is saved locally. At the end of the month, every story becomes a chapter in a printable PDF book the family keeps.

What you get
StoryForge was built for exactly this.
The core features that make StoryForge different from the generic alternatives.

Turn-taking editor with voice dictation (on-device only, never uploaded) or typed input
Hard 20-minute session cap with a background-resilient timer; no extensions, no exceptions
Story library grouped by month — browse, read back, and PIN-gated editing for parents
Monthly book export
every story becomes a chapter in a printable A5 PDF with space for kids' drawings
Parent PIN locks retroactive edits and settings changes, keeping the anti-addictive rules in place
A note from the studio
“The hardest rule to ship was the lockout screen. After a story is finished, the app shows a single line: 'Today's story is finished. See you tomorrow.' No countdown, no 'just one more.' It took discipline to leave it that simple. We think that restraint is the whole point.”
How it works
Three steps. No account. No tracking.
01
Pick today's prompt
Three cards appear — a setting, a character, and an obstacle drawn from 100 curated prompts matched to your child's age. Lock them in and you're ready to begin.
02
Tell the story together
Parent and child take turns adding sentences, by voice or by typing. The timer counts down from 20 minutes. When it ends, the story is saved automatically.
03
Build your family's book
At the end of the month, export all that month's stories as a single PDF — a real chapter book you can print at home or send to a print-on-demand service.
