DreamRead can auto-pause your audiobook when bedtime listening turns into sleep — so you wake up where you left off, not chapters ahead. It uses Apple Watch heart-rate signals to time the pause; no manual timers, no rewinding in the morning. HOW IT WORKS DreamRead pairs with Apple Watch to read heart-rate signals while you listen at night. When the signals look like you've drifted off, the app gently auto-pauses your audiobook. Next time you open the app, you're right where you stopped. FEATURES - Apple Watch Auto-Pause (Premium) — heart-rate signals from Apple Watch tell the app to pause when you drift off at night. No timer guessing, no chapter rewinding. - Sleep Tab — see tonight's status and your full sleep history in one place. - Sleep Timer — set a sleep timer for nights without your Watch. - Discover — search thousands of free audiobooks by category or keyword. Powered by LibriVox and Internet Archive. - Import Your Books — add audiobooks from the Files app. Supports MP3, M4A, M4B, AAC, FLAC and more. - Bookmarks & Progress — save your favorite moments and pick up exactly where you stopped. - Bedside Mode — a minimal player screen designed for nighttime listening. - Apple Watch Control — play, pause, skip and adjust volume directly from your wrist. - Lock Screen Controls — full playback controls without unlocking your phone. - Background Playback — keep listening while your screen is off.

The app can now also wake the watch app back up on its own. - Auto-pause now works for listeners with a low resting heart rate - nights that previously went undetected are now paused correctly. - Bug fixes and stability improvements. ### 2.12.1 — 2026-07-29 What's New in 2.12.1: - The "How you fell asleep" chart now matches the app's design and is easier to read at a glance. - Added heart-rate and time axes to the sleep chart. - Cleaner "Tonight vs your typical night" comparison. - Minor visual fixes. ### 2.12.0 — 2026-07-28 What's New in 2.12.0: - New: a morning card that shows how your heart rate settled as you fell asleep, with the moment sleep was detected marked on the curve. - New: after any automatic pause you now get a morning summary of the night, including a simple timeline when you listen without an Apple Watch. - You can share your sleep-descent card. - Fixed: in some audiobooks, skipping forward or back jumped straight to the next file with no way back. Those books are now converted when you add them. - Stability improvements. ### 2.11.2 — 2026-07-24 Fixed: after you pause and your screen locks, the app now reopens your book right where you left off instead of the home screen. Stability improvements. ### 2.11.1 — 2026-07-20 - Faster, steadier auto-pause: DreamRead now pauses your book closer to the moment you actually fall asleep and no longer gets thrown off by brief heart-rate blips that used to delay it. - Stability improvements. ## More apps by Vladislav Rakin - [Bloomodoro](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bloomodoro/id6761259298) All apps by Vladislav Rakin: https://appshunter.io/developer/1888448974 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
