About

CardofTales turns three simple cards into a brand-new story every time.

Pick a character card, a setting card, and a goal card from 180 hand-illustrated pieces of art. Answer a few playful, AI-guided questions about your choices, and CardofTales weaves everything — your character's personality, the world they live in, and what they're trying to achieve — into a complete, original story.

HOW IT WORKS • Draw or browse cards across three categories: Character, Environment, and Goal • Each category has three themes to explore — human, animal, and fantasy characters; work, home, and time-based settings; and item, companion, and problem-based goals • Answer a handful of guided questions inspired by the card's artwork — your answers shape the story that follows • Pick a theme word to give your story an extra spark • Generate your finished story on-device with Apple Intelligence, or use Google's AI Mode if you prefer

MADE FOR FAMILIES CardofTales was designed to be a screen-time activity parents feel good about. There's no account to create, no chat with strangers, no ads, and no in-app purchases. Nothing is tracked. Your story answers stay private, and can be generated fully on-device when Apple Intelligence is available.

180 ORIGINAL CARDS Every one of CardofTales' 180 cards is an original illustration — no two story combinations feel the same. Filter which card themes appear so you can tailor the experience to your child's age or interests.

BUILT FOR EVERY STORYTELLER CardofTales supports English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, French, and German, so the whole family can play in the language they 're most comfortable with.

WHY CARDOFTALES • A creative alternative to passive screen time • Great for bedtime, road trips, rainy afternoons, or classroom writing warm-ups • Endless combinations from a fixed, thoughtfully illustrated card set • Privacy-first: no accounts, no ads, no tracking, no data collection • Works entirely on-device with Apple Intelligence, or with an optional cloud fallback you control

Every draw is a new story waiting to happen. What will your cards tell today?
