Bedtime shouldn’t feel like a battle

Questions Parents Often Ask
What exactly is Tinkr?
Tinkr is a gentle storytelling companion that uses narrations tailored to your child's emotions to help them wind down. It focuses on regulation to make the transition to sleep smoother for everyone.
Does it replace me reading to my child?
Not at all. Tinkr is designed to complement your routine, providing a calm audio experience for those final minutes of drifting off after you have shared a book together.
Will this add more screens to bedtime?
No. Tinkr is an audio-first experience. Once you have set the context for the night, the phone can be tucked away so your child can focus solely on the gentle narration.
How does the 7-Night Bedtime Pilot work?
Over one week, you will receive personalised stories based on a quick 10-second morning check-in. This feedback helps our system calibrate the stories to your child's specific energy and needs.
Why is there a £10 fee?
The fee ensures commitment from our testing families, which is vital for building a better tool. It is fully refunded if the pilot doesn't improve your child's bedtime routine.
Will it help if our routine is chaotic?
Tinkr is built for real-world parenting. Even in busy evenings, the 10-second setup and gentle stories help ground the routine and bring a sense of calm to the bedroom.
