## What is Naplane?

Naplane is a calm, single-purpose nap timer that finally answers the question every other nap app skips: how long should you actually sleep?

Tell Naplane your energy level and your goal - Recharge, Memory, or Creativity. It picks the right length for the moment using a transparent on-device formula that weighs the time of day, your reported tiredness, the chosen goal, and your recent nap history. Then it counts you down with a soft, synthesized brown-noise sound bath and wakes you with a gentle chime.

WHY NAPLANE
- A 20-minute power nap, a 90-minute full cycle, and a 10-minute micro-rest all do completely different things to your brain.
- Picking the wrong one is why so many naps leave you groggy or wreck your nighttime sleep.
- Naplane removes the guesswork in one tap.

WHAT YOU GET
- Recommended lengths: 10, 20, 30, 60, and 90 minutes - each mapped to a well-studied sleep stage range.
- Three nap goals tuned to different outcomes: a fast Recharge, deeper Memory consolidation, or a Creativity boost.
- A countdown screen with a calm circular progress ring, a clear wake time, and gentle pause and cancel controls.
- A synthesized brown-noise sound bath that fades in and out - no audio file is bundled, so the app stays tiny and downloads instantly.
- An optional "Keep screen on while napping" toggle so the ring is always visible.
- Wake feedback: tap Groggy, Refreshed, or Amazing after the nap. Naplane learns from your answers and adjusts future recommendations.
- A 7-day history chart and a full nap log so you can spot patterns over time.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Naplane has no account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking, no subscription, and no developer backend. The recommendation engine, the brown-noise generator, and your history all live on your device and stay there. The microphone is not used. The PrivacyInfo manifest declares only the standard UserDefaults reason code required for local preferences.

ONE-TIME PURCHASE
Naplane is a single $0.99 purchase. No in-app purchases. No upsells. No daily limits. The features above are the whole product.

GREAT FOR
- Shift workers who need a fast pre-shift recharge.
- Students cramming and looking for a memory-supporting cycle.
- Designers, writers, and artists chasing a creative reset.
- Anyone whose other nap timer just plays sounds and hopes for the best.

Open Naplane, set the slider, tap Plan My Nap, and sleep with the right wake time picked for you.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.1 — 2026-06-26

This update sharpens the interface: the iPad layout now uses a centered, comfortable reading width instead of stretching edge to edge, plus small display fixes. iPhone is unchanged.

### 2.0 — 2026-06-21

Naplane 2.0 — a pro upgrade for the perfect nap, still 100% offline.

• Six synthesized soundscapes: brown, pink, or white noise, distant surf, a soft fan, or silence.
• Wind-down breathing pacer: 4-7-8, box, or coherent breathing with a calming orb and gentle haptics.
• Nap Window Planner: whether now is a prime time to nap, and the latest safe start time to protect tonight's sleep.
• Achievements: eight badges to keep the nap habit going.

Plus the same science-based nap-length recommender, sound bath, and melodic wake chime. No account, no network — everything runs on your device.

### 1.2 — 2026-06-15

What's New in Naplane 1.2

Chronotype-aware recommendations. Tell Naplane whether you're a Morning Lark, Flexible, or Night Owl. The recommendation engine shifts its hour-of-day scoring to match your personal circadian rhythm - Larks get earlier ideal windows, Owls get later ones. Your ideal nap window appears on the Plan tab so you always know when to aim.

Nap quality score. Every nap in your history now shows a 0-100 quality score computed from four factors: how you felt on waking, whether you ran the full planned duration, how well the start time aligned with your chronotype's ideal window, and whether the length matched your goal. The 30-day monthly summary also shows your average quality score.

Melodic wake chime. The wake alarm is now a synthesized rising A-C-E arpeggio with a gentle 600 ms fade-in, generated entirely on-device. Research shows melodic alarm tones measurably reduce sleep inertia compared to abrupt beeps. The old system tone is still available as a toggle in Settings.

### 1.1 — 2026-06-14

What's New in Naplane 1.1

Coffee Nap mode. A new nap goal that locks the timer to 20 minutes and prompts you to drink coffee first. Caffeine takes about 20 minutes to absorb, so it clears adenosine receptors right as you wake — a combination that research shows outperforms either a nap or caffeine alone.

Sleep-onset buffer. Set a wind-down period (5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes) that plays before the nap clock starts. The research average for falling asleep in the afternoon is about 15 minutes — this setting makes your 20-minute nap 20 minutes of actual sleep, not 5 minutes of sleep and 15 of lying there.

Nap Science guide. A new Guide tab with 18 offline entries covering the five nap lengths and their sleep stages, the best time of day to nap, how to avoid sleep inertia, the coffee nap protocol, and practical technique tips. Every entry cites the original research.

### 1.0 — 2026-06-10
