App languagesTraditional ChineseSimplified ChineseEnglish
Story Nest is a bedtime-story app. A new shared set of stories — up to six — arrives every day, each with a short and a long version, so you can pick one that fits the evening, then let your device's own voice read it aloud.
Features
- Daily stories: a new set of up to six every day, the same for everyone, each as a short version of about 5 minutes or a long one of about 15–20 minutes
- Themes include space adventures, dinosaur vehicles, magical forests, star castles, friendship and family nature
- Device narration: play, pause, speed and progress controls, with background playback and Bluetooth output
- Sleep timer, so the room goes quiet when the story ends
- Story Box: save favourites, then search, filter and delete
- Interface in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and English, switchable in Settings, with story content following the selected language
- Optional Google Drive backup for your Story Box, favourites and playback progress
No account needed. Favourites and progress stay on your device by default; narration uses the system text-to-speech, with no recording and no audio uploads. No ads, and no advertising or analytics SDKs.

FAQ
Why can't I see today's stories?
The backend prepares the shared daily stories in advance, so everyone sees the same set. Reopen the app or pull to refresh; if generation failed that day, please try again later.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Story Nest does not require an account. Saved stories and playback progress stay on this device by default; optional Google Drive backup stores them in the app-specific folder.
Why is there no sound?
Story Nest uses your device's built-in text-to-speech engine. Install a Chinese voice package in the system voice settings and make sure media volume is not muted.
What does Google Drive backup include?
Only when you explicitly connect and back up does Story Nest store your Story Box, playback progress, deleted-story records, and language setting in its Google Drive app-specific folder. Reading, saving, and narration do not require Drive.
How do I delete my data?
Delete individual stories in the Story Box, or remove the app and its data in device settings to clear local stories, favorites, playback progress, and cache. Delete an existing cloud backup separately in the backup feature or Google Drive app-data management.
How can I contact support?
Email handstar.support@gmail.com with the app version, device model, and steps to reproduce the issue. Do not include an API key.
