Frequently asked

Stories are written and chosen for children roughly ages 4 to 9. Each story carries an age range, and the nightly pick is matched to your child's age so it lands right — not too simple, not too scary.

One story a night, chosen for you — no endless library to scroll, no autoplay, no streaks, no ads. The story ends and the screen goes dark. We go into the whole philosophy on the science page and about page.

No — you can download stories ahead of time and play them offline, which is handy for travel or a spotty connection. Tonight's pick is ready when you open the app.

There’s a free tier — one new story every week, no card required. To unlock the whole library, Wisdom Member is $19.99/month or $199/year (CAD). See the full breakdown.

Yes. The free Firstlight tier gives you one story a week, forever, with no card. It's a real taste of Lumi, not a countdown to a paywall.

Yes. Membership starts with a 30-day free trial. You won't be charged until it ends, and if you cancel before then you simply drop to the free tier.

Anytime, from your account, in a couple of clicks. No phone calls, no retention maze. If you cancel, you keep member access until the end of the period you've paid for, then move to the free tier.

They're drawn and adapted from the world's wisdom traditions — Aesop, the Jataka tales, Taoist parables, folk tales, sky myths — alongside original fables written in the same spirit. Always carried by the story, never flattened into a lecture.

No. We draw on wisdom traditions for their stories and their craft, not to teach any particular faith. The stories are about courage, patience, kindness, letting go — the human stuff every family shares.

They're written for bedtime — gentle, with soft imagery and earned, reassuring endings. A real story has a real trial in it, but nothing here is built to frighten.

With as little as possible. Only a parent creates an account; children never log in. For each child we store only a first name and an age — no birthdate, no email, no photos, no contact info. We don’t run behavioral ads or sell data, ever. Details in our privacy policy.

Yes — those rules shaped the product from the start. Parent-owned accounts, data minimization for kids, meaningful consent at signup, and the ability to export or delete a child's profile and history at any time. We're a Canadian company storing data on Canadian infrastructure.

Anytime. You can delete an individual kid profile or your whole family account from settings, and that removes the associated data. You can also email hello@goodnightlumi.com.
