Kiddiel

The parent stays the storyteller. Kiddiel drafts the words — privately, on the device, in seconds.

Why I'm building it

Generic libraries repeat. Crafting a story from scratch every night is unsustainable. There's a small, useful product in that gap — and I wanted to find out whether I could build one end-to-end on my own.

What I'm building

The parent picks four things: the characters, the moral, the length, and the age-fit. Kiddiel drafts the rest — using Apple Intelligence on-device by default, so nothing leaves the phone.

• Quick Stories — one-shot bedtime stories in under a minute.
• Journeys — multi-chapter adventures that unfold a new chapter each day.
• Read Aloud — a calm voice reads along, at the parent's pace.
• Child Profiles — one profile per child; everything stays on the device.

No account required. Offline-first. Localized into 12 languages.

Key decisions so far

• On-device by default. Apple Intelligence runs locally on the default path — no prompt leaves the phone. Cloud Intelligence is an opt-in fallback for devices that need it. Privacy is the default, not an option.
• Waitlist before launch. Building the audience and the product on the same timeline. Real users on day one beats a polished launch with no one watching.

Why this one matters to me

It's the first time I'm doing all of it: idea, design, code, marketing, App Store, customer support. Anaphora and Drops taught me how to ship inside a team. Kiddiel is teaching me how to ship as one. That's the part I'm proudest of right now.

Where it is right now

• Waitlist live at kiddiel.app.
• Building toward a first TestFlight cohort.
• Launch metrics — once there are some.
