1.1
October 2, 2026
Ten new places to fall asleep. • Ten more places, from Snow Beach and Grotto Zaffiro to Tide Pools and Winter's Lee, plus eight visualizers — all with one purchase, yours to keep. No subscription. They download once, then play offline. • Your six places stay exactly as they are, included with the app. • A quiet tide line on the scene card that moves with the water you're hearing. Tap it to go full screen. • Hidden Cove, re-levelled — fuller and closer, with no gaps between waves. • Steadier playback when a call or another app interrupts — the waves come back when you do. Still no account, no sign-up, and no ads. Sweet dreams.
