Why we built Lunary
A real problem, two tired parents, and a product that didn't exist yet.
It started the way most parenting problems do — at 8:30 on a Tuesday night, with two exhausted adults and two kids who absolutely were not sleeping.
Jessica and I had tried everything. The same books read so many times we could recite them. Screen time we felt guilty about. And then the improvised stories — the ones where we'd stumble through some made-up adventure, hoping our daughter would just please close her eyes — and our little one would finally stop bouncing off the walls.
But something funny happened on the nights we got it right — when the story was about them. Those nights were different. They'd pull the blankets up themselves. Asleep before we reached "the end."
We couldn't find an app that did that. So we built Lunary.
Lunary is for every parent who's stood in a dark hallway, brain-dead tired, trying to conjure a story from thin air. It's the bedtime ritual we didn't know our family needed.
