Why Lunory exists

It started with a broken TV

Mid 2025, the neighbour kids came over for dinner. After the last bite, they wanted to watch TV. Lucky for us, our TV was "broken" (wink). So they asked for a bedtime story instead. After a long workday, I scraped one together, somewhere between a dragon and a sleeping bunny. It was, let's be honest, not my finest piece of literature. But when the lights went out, I lay awake thinking: this has to be possible in a better way. Stories that are calm, personal, lovingly told. Without ads. Without noise. Without yet another bright screen at bedtime.

A heart project, built carefully

I run a small software company, and Lunory started as a side project alongside our regular work. Over many months we tuned the algorithm for stories that are actually good. We spoke with Swiss educators, worked closely with families in the neighbourhood, listened, rewrote, listened again. On the 21st of May 2026 we went live. Every time a parent writes that their child can suddenly be the hero, or that their beloved stuffed animal joined the adventure, it reminds me why we built this. For a short, magical moment, dreams become real.

What we believe in

Four things guide every decision at Lunory:

• Stories children grow with

  Adventures that gently work through fears, give courage and let kids live out their dreams.

• No ads, ever

  Bedtime is not a place for marketing. Lunory will never show ads to your child.

• Child friendly by design

  Calm pacing, age appropriate language, soft voices. Built for little ears, not loud screens.

• Privacy first

  Your child's name, the heroes you invent, the worlds you build together. They stay between you and Luno.

Giving back

We donate a part of our revenue to children's homes and orphanages, to support kids who didn't get as much luck in life. For these institutions, Lunory is, of course, free. Because every child deserves a good story before falling asleep.
