Layer up to six sounds

Each sound is a horizontal layer. Drag it to set its volume: the target is the full width of the screen, so the gesture works in the dark, one-handed, without aiming. Save the blend and it comes back with one tap the next night.

  • Adjust without lookingThe layer spans the whole width, so your thumb finds the target with your eyes closed.
  • Saved mixesLast night's blend is waiting at the top of the home screen, one tap away.
  • Fade outThe volume comes down over the last five minutes of the timer. Never an abrupt cut.
  • Offline playbackThe loops live on the phone. Airplane mode, basement, night train: it plays.

Timer

Preset durations, reachable while playing without opening settings. No elapsed time on screen.

Night mode

While a sound plays, the screen dims to almost nothing — just enough to stop it at 3 a.m.

Widget

Start a sound from the lock screen, with its timer, without opening the app.

One price, once

Sleep apps cost $50 to $70 a year. Sleep.fm is paid for once and works offline, with no account, no email and no advertising.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a subscription?

No. Four sounds are free, and the full version is a one-time purchase — the price for your country is shown on this page and in the store. There is no subscription anywhere in the app.

Do I need an account?

No. No email, no sign-up, no advertising. Your mixes stay on your phone.

Does it work without a connection?

Yes. All 20 loops are downloaded with the app and played locally, airplane mode included.

How many sounds can be layered?

Up to six at a time, each with its own volume, and the blend can be saved to start it again with one tap.

Do the sounds stop during the night?

That depends on the timer: 15 minutes to 1 h 30, or continuous playback. A fade-out brings the volume down before it stops.

Is there meditation or are there sleep stories?

No, and there will not be. Sleep.fm does one thing: play ambient sounds to fall asleep to.
