NORA Sleep

NORA does not ask you which sounds you like. It asks how your nights actually go, and works the rest out with you. Four short questions — how your mind is when you get into bed, where you feel most at ease, what usually gets in the way, how long you normally take to fall asleep. From those NORA forms a first idea and says so as an idea, not a verdict. Then it stops asking and starts listening: what you play, what you leave after a minute, what you come back to the next night. SEVEN PLACES, NOT A SOUND LIBRARY Rain in the caravan. A sleeper compartment on a night train. An aircraft cabin with the lights down. A summer room with a ceiling fan. A server room. A room of machines thinking. A space station. Each one is a place with its own photograph, its own line of writing, and a loop cut from a long recording so that nothing ever restarts. BUILT FOR THREE IN THE MORNING The screen goes dark and still twenty seconds after you stop touching it, and the first touch afterwards only wakes it — nothing can be pressed by accident. The clock is hidden, because looking at the time is the one thing that makes a bad night worse. The sound rises rather than arriving, and fades to nothing rather than stopping. You decide how long: NORA's own estimate, a fixed length, or all night. It keeps playing with the screen locked, and your headphone controls work. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account. No server. No network requests at all — it works in aeroplane mode. Nothing you answer and nothing you listen to leaves the device, because there is nowhere for it to go. No analytics, no tracking, no advertising identifiers. English, Turkish and German.
