Frequently Asked Questions about Gushi Bedtime Stories

Everything you might want to know about Gushi, our audio bedtime stories, how we keep them safe and calm, and how Gushi fits into your family's bedtime routine.

What is Gushi?

Gushi is an audio-only bedtime story app for toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarteners. Every story is human-curated by our team of behavioral scientists and parents, screen-free, and gently paced to help little ones unwind and fall asleep.

What ages are Gushi bedtime stories for?

Gushi is designed for children ages 2 through 6, including toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarteners. The stories, themes, and pacing are all crafted specifically for this developmental stage.

Why is Gushi audio-only instead of using animation?

Screens before bed can be overstimulating and disrupt healthy sleep hygiene. Audio-only stories gently invite imagination while letting the body wind down, making Gushi a screen-free bedtime companion parents can trust.

Are Gushi bedtime stories safe for kids?

Yes. Every story in Gushi is human-curated and edited line by line by parents. We shape the tone to be warm, slow, and soothing, never scary or overstimulating, so bedtime stays calm.

Does Gushi help toddlers fall asleep at bedtime?

Gushi stories are deliberately paced for bedtime calm. Soft narration, gentle themes, and an audio-only format work together to support healthy sleep hygiene and help toddlers drift off naturally.

What kinds of lessons do Gushi stories teach?

Gushi stories gently weave in age-appropriate themes like kindness, empathy, emotional regulation, courage, curiosity, healthy routines, and resilience, helping parents raise kind and confident kids.

Does Gushi use AI to write bedtime stories?

We use AI as a creative starting point, then our team of behavioral scientists and parents edit every story line by line. This keeps the stories imaginative while ensuring each one is calm, safe, and developmentally supportive.

Can I create personalized bedtime stories in Gushi?

Not right now. Every Gushi story is hand-crafted by our team rather than generated on the fly, so we don't currently support personalization with your child's name or details. It's something we'd love to build if enough parents want it, so if that's you, reach out and let us know. The more requests we hear, the sooner it moves up the roadmap.

Can I make bedtime story playlists?

Absolutely. You can build playlists by child or by theme, favorite the stories your kids love most, and press play to let Gushi run your bedtime routine from start to finish.

Is Gushi ad-free?

Always. Gushi never shows ads. Bedtime should be uninterrupted, calm, and entirely focused on your child.

What devices is Gushi available on?

Gushi is currently available on iOS — both iPhone and iPad. Download it from the App Store to start your family's bedtime library. Android support may come down the road if there's enough demand.

Is Gushi free?

Yes. All Gushi stories and features are free. No subscription is required.
