Theo helps parents pray and learn with their kids every night. It is an audio-first app with hundreds of Bible stories, guided prayers, family devotionals, meditations, and affirmations, built around a short bedtime routine of about nine minutes a day. The site describes content made to help children fall asleep with God's word in their hearts, and states that its content is approved by theologians.^1
What sets Theo apart is that parents choose their tradition when they start, and the content follows that choice. Catholic families receive saint stories, a rosary for kids, sacramental preparation, and content tied to the liturgical calendar. Protestant and evangelical families receive gospel-centered devotionals, Bible stories, and family prayer routines. The tradition choices also include Orthodox and non-denominational households, and the app serves families in English and Spanish.^3
Theo is made by Familify, a family-faith technology company in Weston, Florida. Founder and CEO Francisco Cornejo is a non-denominational Christian; his wife Daniela, the co-founder and content director, is Catholic, and they built the app first for their two sons. In Francisco's words: "We exist to point families to Jesus."^5
Theo is free to download with limited free content and a free trial, then continues as a subscription; gift subscriptions are also offered. On Google Play it has passed 500,000 downloads.^2^6
"Since we started using Theo in our bedtime routine, our evenings have completely changed. My kids look forward to the daily affirmations - they learn about the power of prayer and pick up something new every night. They now sleep better than ever!" - Emily, mom of Jack^2
