Children tell you, in their own words.
One big button a three-year-old can press. They talk about their work, hear it back, and you write down exactly what they said.
Features and plans
Everything StoryLoop does, and which plan it is on.
At its heart, StoryLoop turns a quick note or voice memo into a checked learning story with Te Whāriki or EYLF V2.0 links. Around that are tools for the rest of the day: following each child's learning, sharing with families in their own language, and running a centre on one price with unlimited children.

The engine behind every draft
Frontier AI, with rules it cannot talk its way around.
The writer is a frontier AI model. Around it sit checks that are plain code, not another model's opinion: children's words must appear in your note, the curriculum must match your country, every expected section must be there. Every change is tested on the same 24 notes before it ships, and the results are public.

For the whole day, not just the story.
Families can read the wall.
Print a small code beside any display. At pickup, a family scans it with their phone and reads the learning behind what they are looking at, in their own language.
- Te Reo Māori
- Gagana Sāmoa
- 简体中文
- हिन्दी
- العربية
What they take to school.
One file a family keeps: who their child is as a learner. It opens on any computer, offline, with no account.
Better than “he had a good day”.
Before the door opens, the specific true thing next to each child's name, taken from what you wrote down. A child with nothing recorded today is shown that plainly. Never invented.
Privacy first, not a footnote.
- StoryLoop never keeps children's recordings
- Wall pages carry no names or photos
- Nothing is shared until you say so
