## What is Drowsly?

For the nights you stay up later than planned.

You know the feeling — it's late, you're in bed with your phone, and your eyes start to close. Drowsly is made for exactly those moments. Start it at bedtime with one tap: a soft sleep sound plays, and while it does, Drowsly quietly looks for signs you're starting to fade, even when you're in another app. If it finds them, it can nudge you.

No camera. No microphone. Everything happens on your device — no account, no data collected. Your nights stay yours.

HOW IT WORKS
• Start Drowsly at bedtime with one tap. A soft sleep sound plays. While it plays, Drowsly can nudge you if it detects signs you may be dozing, even in other apps.
• A gentle nudge first. Drowsly starts with a silent pop-up and only gets stronger if you don't respond — a vibration, then a sound. In Drowsly itself, the last step is a full-screen wake call; in other apps, it comes as a notification with sound.
• A free sleep sound. Gentle rain, ocean and more, to fall asleep to, with or without a plan.

QUIET BY DESIGN
• Warnings get stronger step by step if you don't respond.
• Drowsly's own screen fades to gray when it detects signs you may be dozing.
• Pause playback if you fade mid-podcast, so you don't lose your place.
• Partner silent mode uses no sound, with gentler vibrations before the final wake call.
• An honest morning report — see how the night went, with awareness, never a scorecard.
• Your full night history, and your choice of wake sound.

HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS
Drowsly is an assistive aid — not a guarantee, and not a medical device. It can't detect every situation and it can't promise to wake you. It's here to help you catch yourself on a late night; you stay in charge, and you should never rely on Drowsly to keep you safe. On iPhone, Drowsly checks while it's open on your screen or while its sleep sound plays. Warnings in other apps can be missed; they work best with notifications on, a passcode set, and Auto-Lock at 2 minutes or longer.

SUBSCRIPTION
Everything above except the free sleep sound — including the wake nudge itself — needs an annual subscription or, while it's offered, Founder Lifetime, a one-time unlock. New subscribers start the annual plan with a 3-day free trial. Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends to avoid the first annual charge; otherwise the annual subscription starts when the trial ends and renews automatically each year. Without either, detection stays off.

A calmer end to your late nights.
