Books that star your family
Add a photo of your kid, and they show up in their stories as the hero. Siblings, grandparents, even the cat — every book becomes about the people they know.
Pageling — living storybooks that read along with your kid.
A picture-book reading app that meets your kid where they are. Real phonics, gentle adaptive levels, and read-aloud narration that highlights the words as it reads.
Open a book →Free to read, always. Making a book spends a little magic — and the book is yours forever.
Reading that grows with them
Adaptive levels and real phonics — no quizzes, no flashcards. Tap a tricky word and hear it sounded out, the way a patient grown-up would.
Calm by design
No ads. No timers. No "streak" guilt. Just one warm shelf, and time to read together.
For parents
What it costs
Reading is free — every book in the library, cover to cover, read aloud. You pay only when your family makes something new: a character, a book, a recorded voice. What you make is yours forever, even if you stop paying.
Privacy, plainly
No ads. No trackers. Nothing your family writes or uploads is shown to other families. Photos you add to make a character are processed and discarded — only the illustrated character is kept. Before any AI makes something for your kid, you say yes first, in plain language. Read the privacy policy.
The reading underneath
Pageling is phonics-grounded: every book sits at a real reading level, tricky words sound out letter by letter, and levels step up as your kid grows — without quizzes or drills.
Common questions
Does it cost anything to read?
No. Every book in the library is free to read, with narration, for everyone — no account needed.
What happens to the books we make?
They're yours forever. Books, characters, and recorded voices stay with your family — cancelling never takes them away.
What devices does it work on?
iPad and desktop browsers are Pageling's home turf. Phones work for reading, landscape-first.
Can my kid use it alone?
Yes — reading is built for kids to drive. Anything that spends money or makes something new asks for a grown-up first.
