Features

Everything in it is about their day

Parler is the good screen for ages 3 to 10. Their day goes in, a book comes out, and there is no feed to fall into. Every plan has every feature; the only thing that counts toward your plan is a new picture.

Their day

It's their day, and they make it

My day checklists, what they did today, drawings and cards. The child makes all of it. Nothing comes from strangers.

Their people

It's your people, drawn with your OK

Mamie, Papi and friends as cartoons a parent approved, books in the family's languages, and an easy way for family far away to read along.

It ends

Feeds don't end. Books do.

Every book has a last page. No feed, no ads, nothing to scroll.

  • A last page

    Reading stops when the book does. Your child can read it again, tell a new one, or stop.

  • No feed

    Nothing to scroll and no algorithm. Your child's shelves hold what they made and what family and school sent.

  • No strangers' videos

    Nothing autoplays into a stranger's video, because there are none here.

  • No ads

    None, for anyone. Parler is paid for by the families and schools who use it.

For grown-ups

You set it up, you stay in charge

Parents decide who appears, what gets spent and what each child can do.

Schools

One prompt, a whole class of books

Teachers set the prompt, each child tells their own, and the book goes home.

Languages

Your family’s languages, any to any

Language is often why families start. Each child tells stories in the language that comes easiest and reads them in one or more others, with one main one. Every pair works: tell it in English, read it in French, with Spanish one tap away. Translation is always free.
