Nightlamp
Bedtime runs itself. Your kid presses one button.
Nightlamp is an 8-minute guided bedtime ritual for kids ages 4–9: a calming story, a breathing sequence, and a personalized sleep-sound mix, played back-to-back without any choices to make. Parents set it up once; kids run it solo every night. No negotiating what to listen to, no rabbit holes, no screen after the ritual ends.

Kid Mode with a single large 'Start Bedtime' button — child runs it independently
Parent setup takes under 90 seconds
pick kid's age band, narrator voice, bedtime
Auto-dims and locks the screen once the ritual starts so there's nothing to tap
Parent-side streak tracker showing bedtimes completed over the last 7 days

A look inside
See it in your hands.
A note from the studio
“We built this because the hardest part of bedtime isn't getting kids into bed — it's the twenty minutes of 'just one more' that follows. A fixed ritual with no skip button turns out to be the thing.”
How it works
Three steps. No account. No tracking.
01
Parent sets it up once
Choose your child's age (4–6 or 7–9), pick a narrator voice, and set the bedtime reminder. Takes about 90 seconds. Everything after that is automatic.
02
Kid taps one button
Kid Mode shows a single large 'Start Bedtime' button on a dark screen. Your child presses it and the ritual begins — story, breathing, sleep sounds — with no further input needed.
03
Eight minutes later, they're asleep
The app dims the screen, plays through the full sequence, and locks itself at the end. No autoplay, no rabbit holes, no coming back to ask what to put on next.
