Stories for
falling asleep.
Long, deliberately uneventful stories — with ambient soundscapes and automatic volume fade. Pick a story, set a duration, and drift off. No scrolling, no decisions, no bright screens.
Long, deliberately uneventful stories — with ambient soundscapes and automatic volume fade. Pick a story, set a duration, and drift off. No scrolling, no decisions, no bright screens.
No games, no rewards, no bright UI. Just stories and silence.
A growing library of long, meandering stories written and narrated to be interesting enough to listen to, boring enough to fall asleep to.
Layer rain, wind, fireplace, or other ambient sounds beneath any story. Your preference is remembered for next time.
Set a duration (30, 45, or 60 minutes) and the volume gently fades toward the end. No abrupt silence, no unfinished story left playing.
The app is dark by default — deep navy backgrounds, dim text, no bright whites. Designed for a phone on a nightstand.
Wake in the middle of the night and need something to drift back off? Tap Resume on your lock screen to restart the last story at low volume.
Subscribers can load their own audio files through the same ambience and fade pipeline. Audio stays on your device.
Deep navy throughout. No bright whites, no distractions — just stories.
Available on iOS and Android
Three taps and you're done. Then put the phone down.
Browse the library and choose a story by mood — a canal walk, a lighthouse, a tea harvest at dawn. New stories are added regularly.
Choose 30, 45, or 60 minutes. Optionally layer an ambient soundscape beneath the narration — rain, wind, a fireplace. Your choice is remembered.
The volume fades gently toward the end so there's no abrupt silence. Nothing to scroll, no decisions to make. Just close your eyes.

No. The app requires no account and no sign-in. If you subscribe, your subscription is managed through your app store account as normal.
Yes. The sleep timer gradually reduces the volume in steps, then stops playback completely when it reaches silence. You configure when the first drop happens, how often volume reduces after that, and by how much each time — so you can tune a slow, gentle fade or a faster one. Playback stops entirely at the end; it won't play all night.
Yes. Every story has a download button — tap it to save the audio to your device before you need it. Downloaded stories play without any internet connection. You can manage or delete downloads from the Storage section in Settings.
Subscribers can load any audio file — a podcast, a recording, anything — and play it through the same timer and volume-fade pipeline as the built-in stories. The file stays on your device and is never uploaded anywhere.
