Good to know.

Nightale is an app of calm bedtime stories drawn from history, mythology, science and classic tales, told slowly over ambient sounds. You pick a story, set the sleep timer and close your eyes.

Every script is developed through careful research using established history websites and trusted reference sources. We cross-check key details and give context to the myths, rumors, and disputed accounts that surround them, making clear what is documented and what remains uncertain.

Then congratulations, and good night! We’ll take that as a compliment. If you’ve set a sleep timer, the narration and ambient sounds gently fade out when it ends. Otherwise, the story continues to the end.
