About
Fall asleep to your favorite podcasts and audiobooks without losing your place.
Sleep Rewind Repeat uses your Apple Watch to detect when you drift off to sleep, then automatically pauses your audio and rewinds so you can pick up right where you left off tomorrow.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Start playing a podcast or audiobook on your iPhone
2. Start monitoring on your Apple Watch
3. Fall asleep naturally
4. The app detects your sleep through heart rate and motion patterns
5. Audio pauses and rewinds automatically
6. Wake up and resume from your bookmark
