WRITTEN BY HUMANS, NOT A.I.
The sleep story app for grownups who are almost there.
Short bedtime stories for kids ages 2–8 — written by real people, for the moment your child says "tell me a story" and your brain's already gone to bed.
Coming soon to iOS. Be the first to know when it hits the App Store.
THE DIFFERENCE
Not generated. Just written.
Every story in dim is written by a real person — a professional sleep and meditation writer who has spent years putting words together for the specific purpose of winding down. No AI prompting. Just craft, applied to the hardest fifteen minutes of a parent's day.
PERSONALIZED
The child as the hero.
Tell us their name, their favorite animal, and the food they'd eat for every meal until the end of time. The story takes it from there — gently, never gimmicky.
DESIGNED FOR THE DARK
No bright screens at the moment they're meant to be winding down.
dim is dark-mode first — the way bedtime apps should have been all along. Soft type on a near-black background, warm gold accents, nothing that snaps a half-asleep child back awake.
WHAT'S IN THE APP
Built for the last fifteen minutes of the day.
Personalized stories
Short bedtime stories for kids ages 2–8 — their name, their favorite animal, the food they'd eat forever.

THE RESEARCH
Reading aloud is one of the best things you can do for a child.
This isn't just instinct — it's well-documented. The fifteen minutes before sleep are among the most developmentally powerful of a child's day.

More words known by kindergarten among children who are read to regularly, compared to those who aren't.
