Malu: Sleep Stories & Calm

Your mind won't shut off at bedtime. You're not alone — 1 in 3 adults struggle with the same thing. Malu is designed specifically for people whose thoughts race at night. Every evening, Malu guides you through a simple wind-down routine: BREATHE Start with a guided breathing exercise. Choose from gentle patterns like Slow Release or Even Breath. A calm voice counts with you while your body begins to relax. QUIET YOUR MIND Pick from four science-backed techniques: - Story Fade — Gentle, plotless narratives that give your brain something to follow as it winds down. A mill house by a stream. A ferry crossing a moonlit river. A garden at dusk. - Cognitive Shuffle — Random, unrelated words that prevent your brain from forming thought loops. Clinically shown to reduce time to fall asleep. - Body Drift — Progressive relaxation that moves attention through your body with calming imagery. - Thought Shelf — Acknowledge your worries one by one and set them aside for tomorrow. DRIFT OFF Audio gradually fades. The screen goes dark. Your phone auto-locks. You sleep. WAKE UP BETTER A quick 3-tap morning check-in tracks your sleep quality over time. Malu learns which techniques work best for you and adapts its recommendations. WHAT MAKES MALU DIFFERENT Unlike other sleep apps, Malu isn't a meditation library you browse. It's a focused nightly routine. One breathing exercise. One technique. Done. No decision fatigue at bedtime.

Every screen is a place you visit, from the cozy town square to the moonlit session player.
