There are many wonderful apps out there helping families create calm bedtime routines. At Goldminds, we’re proud to be part of that mission—and we’ve designed our experience to bring something a little different to the table: a mix of magical storytelling, practical features, and a thoughtful approach to childhood development.
Here’s how we compare to some of the other leading apps in the space, so you can choose what works best for your family.
Goldminds is a sleep and story app built from the ground up for children and their caregivers. We offer original audio adventures designed to help kids wind down, dream big, and feel safe at bedtime. Our library is growing every month with new, imaginative stories—all written by educators and child development experts. Plus, with offline mode, kids can listen anywhere: at home, on the go, or even at grandma’s without Wi-Fi. A simple, colorful interface makes it easy for kids to explore, while the parent dashboard helps grown-ups stay involved in the routine.

Moshi is a beloved sleep app that many families know well. Its charming characters and catchy songs make bedtime feel like playtime. With stories read by friendly voices (and sometimes celebrities), it’s an engaging option that blends music and mindfulness. While Moshi doesn't currently support offline listening and updates can be less frequent, it still offers a magical experience that resonates with many children.

Calm is one of the most recognized names in wellness, and their Calm Kids section brings that same polished experience to younger listeners. With serene music and guided meditations, Calm Kids offers tools to help children slow down after a busy day. The app itself is beautifully designed and well-loved by parents, though its kids' section isn’t updated as frequently and may feel more meditative than story-driven. Still, it's a solid choice for families already familiar with the Calm ecosystem.

Headspace has helped millions of people build mindfulness habits—and their Headspace for Kids section is a great extension of that. With calm voices and gentle meditations, it’s particularly well-suited for older children learning about emotional regulation. While it’s not built around storytelling and doesn’t have offline support, it shines when it comes to introducing mindful breathing and focus techniques in a safe and approachable way.
