FAQ

Questions we get a lot.

The basics

Good Night Post delivers a personalized bedtime story to your email inbox every night. Each story stars your child by name, features their friends and interests, and continues a serialized adventure that builds night after night.

You open the email at bedtime and read it aloud. That's the whole product.

Good Night Post remembers everything. Your child's dragon from week one shows up in week four. The cliffhanger from last Tuesday gets resolved on Wednesday. The story grows with your child over months.

It also sounds like you. We learn your voice during signup and write every story in your style. Parents have told us their partners couldn't tell the difference.

And it shows up automatically. You don't have to remember to open an app, write a prompt, or do anything. The story just arrives.

Ages 3 to 12. Story length and vocabulary adjust automatically based on your child's age. A 4-year-old gets a shorter, simpler story with big moments. A 10-year-old gets something longer and richer.

No. Stories arrive in your email inbox. Nothing to install, no account to log into every night. Just open your email and read.

The stories

Very. Your child is the hero of every story. Their name appears throughout. Their friends show up as characters. Their interests shape the plot. And the whole story is written in your voice based on the answers you give during signup.

We have 14 serialized story worlds. Original adventures and adaptations of beloved public domain classics — Jules Verne, Emilio Salgari, Swiss Family Robinson, Moby Dick, and more.

Each universe is a complete arc. 60 to 365 nights. Your child's story has a beginning, a middle, and an end — and every night moves the adventure forward.

We pick the universe automatically based on your child's interests.

Yes. That's the whole point. Every story saves a memory of what happened — characters introduced, plot developments, emotional moments, cliffhangers left unresolved. The next night's story picks up from there.

If your child's dragon was named Blue in episode 3, Blue will return in episode 20.

You choose during signup. Options run from 2 PM to 9 PM in your local timezone. The story arrives at that time every day.

If you want to change it, just email us at hello@goodnightpost.com.

Pricing and billing

Your first 3 days are free. A credit card is required to start — you won't be charged until the trial ends. Cancel any time before then and you pay nothing.

Single ($7/month) — one child, one story every night.

Family ($12/month) — 2 to 4 children, each getting their own completely separate story every night. They don't share an adventure. Each child has their own world.

Log into your Lemon Squeezy billing portal — the link is in your original payment confirmation email. You can cancel from there in seconds. No calls, no forms, no email required.

Stories keep arriving until the end of your current billing period, then stop automatically.

To add a child, cancel your current Single plan subscription via your Lemon Squeezy billing portal, then sign up again with the Family plan. Each child will need their own profile created during signup.
