What Lolaby does How it works The drawing The lyrics The music The voice What we learned Getting a small child to fall asleep is a daily battle for parents and anyone who looks after kids.

My partner's sister teaches kindergarten. Every day at nap time she has fifteen 4-year-olds on tiny mats, and ever since the class started learning about music and instruments, it begins the same way: "sing a song for me." She'd love to give each child their own song, one built around whatever they love that week: the stuffed fox, the new puppy, the rainbow. But she's one person, with no musical training, and thirty minutes to get fifteen children to sleep.

Lolaby is that tool. The child shows Lola what they love, doodling on screen, or handing over a paper drawing to photograph. The teacher types the child's name. A small, on-device AI looks at the drawing, writes a lullaby about it, and sings it back.

Everything runs locally. No cloud LLM, no per-song API cost, no child's data ever leaving the device.
