Droply "Just one more story" turns into five
Tonight's Bedtime has a clear end: one story, one short meditation, then a sleep sound that fades out with the timer. Kids know what comes next, so there is less to negotiate.

The last hour before sleep is the hardest one
Droply doesn't replace you at bedtime. It gives the evening a shape, so you are not inventing it from scratch every night.
Your child is tired but still buzzing
A 3-minute guided meditation or the Breathe flower slows the body down before the lights go out. Even children who can't read can follow the flower and the soft vibration.
Every little noise wakes them up
Rain on the roof, ocean waves, a crackling fire or white, pink and brown noise play on a seamless loop and cover the creaks of the house.
You've read the same three books a hundred times
32 calm stories and fairy tales, written for bedtime and read slowly by a warm voice. Nothing scary, and every story ends quietly.
How it works
Bedtime in three steps
Set it up once in two minutes. After that it's one tap a night.
Create a profile
Add your child's profile and age group, 3–8 or 9–12. Droply only suggests stories and meditations that fit.
Press Start Bedtime
Tonight's Bedtime lines up a story, a short meditation and a sleep sound. Swap any of them, or just press start.
Let the timer fade it out
The story plays, the meditation follows, and the sound loops until the sleep timer fades it out. You can lock the phone and leave the room.
Collect a moon
Each finished routine adds a moon to your child's night sky. Kids love keeping the streak going.

Stories and fairy tales
Calm stories, read slowly, with no scary parts
22 original bedtime stories and 10 classic fairy tales retold for bedtime. Wolves, curses and punishments are left out; gentle details and a quiet ending stay in.
- Stories for ages 3–8 (about 4 minutes) and 9–12 (5–6 minutes)
- The Princess and the Pea, Thumbelina, Cinderella, Goldilocks and more
- Narrated in a warm, calm English voice
- Read any of them free on this site, too
Meditation and breathing
A breathing flower even toddlers can follow
In Breathe mode a flower opens as your child breathes in and closes as they breathe out. A soft vibration marks each breath, so no reading is needed.
- 26 guided meditations: Rainbow Breathing, Balloon Belly, The Worry Jar…
- Short sessions of 3–5 minutes, made for children
- Breathe mode with a blooming flower and gentle haptics
Sleep sounds
Rain, waves and white noise that play all night, or until the timer
15 sleep sounds on seamless loops: nature recordings and white, pink and brown noise. The sleep timer fades them out gently instead of cutting off.
- Rain on the roof, ocean waves, crackling fireplace, forest crickets
- White, pink and brown noise, fan and even vacuum-cleaner hum
- Plays with the screen locked, with lock-screen controls
