About
You cannot force sleep. But you can give your eyes something slow to follow.
Don't Count Sheep fills the whole screen with a live pattern around one small point. You look at the point. Your eyes stop darting, your attention narrows, and the noise in your head has less room to run. When you have had enough, you stop. That is the whole idea.
WHAT YOU DO
Pick a pattern. Look at the center. Tap once for the controls, tap again to hide them. Nothing else to learn.
TWO MODES
• Sleep — dim, slow visuals for 15 to 45 minutes. The screen eases darker toward the end, so you are not staring into a bright phone when you are almost gone.
• Focus — a short 3 to 10 minute drill. Hold the center. When your eyes wander, bring them back. That is the rep.
TWENTY-SIX PATTERNS, DRAWN LIVE
Classic Spiral, Deep Tunnel, Sun Wheel, Whirl Check, Night Glass, Soft Current, Breath, Clockwork, Lotus Wheel, Rose Window, Twin Coil, Crossed Rings, Night Iris, Silk Drift, Seed Field, Star Paths, Twin Focus, Twin Tunnel, Twin Sun, Twin Ripple, Twin Check, Triple Focus, Starfall, The Well, Sway, Night Corridor.
None of these are video files. Every frame is generated on your phone, so you can change the speed in the middle of a session and the motion never stutters or jumps.
BUILT FOR THE DARK
No account. No sign-up. No feed, no streaks, and no notification nagging you at 11pm. Dark from the first frame. Works offline and in Airplane Mode. Nothing you do here leaves your phone.
FREE AND PAID
Eight patterns are free forever — full length, no ads, no trial timer: Classic Spiral, Deep Tunnel, Sun Wheel, Whirl Check, Night Glass, Soft Current, Breath, and Clockwork. The other eighteen come with a yearly plan that starts with 7 free days, a monthly plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase if you would rather never see a subscription again.
TEN LANGUAGES
English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian.
DEVICES
iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro. On Vision Pro it runs as a spatial window — same library, same purchase.
PLEASE READ
These patterns move, and the motion can feel strong. Stop if you feel dizzy or unwell. Do not use this app if you have photosensitive epilepsy or a history of seizures unless a doctor has told you it is appropriate. This is a relaxation and attention tool. It is not medical care, and it does not treat insomnia, anxiety, or vision problems.
