## What is Slumbertone?

Nine sounds. One timer. No noise you didn't ask for.

Slumbertone is a quiet, ad-free sound machine for sleep, focus, and calm. Pick a sound, set a timer, put the phone down.

FIVE CLASSIC NOISES — ALWAYS FREE
• White — a steady, even hush
• Pink — softer and warmer than white
• Green — the midrange of the natural world
• Brown — deep and rolling, like distant surf
• Deep Brown — lower still, felt more than heard

NATURE SOUNDS PACK — ONE-TIME UNLOCK
• Birdsong — a bright morning canopy
• Crackling Fire — slow embers in a quiet grate
• Tibetan Singing Bowls — long bronze tones, fading
• Wind Chimes — loose notes on a slow breeze

Tap any locked sound to hear thirty seconds before you decide. One purchase, yours forever. No subscription, ever.

A SLEEP TIMER THAT ACTUALLY SLEEPS
Choose 15 minutes, 30, an hour, any custom duration, or a wake-up time. Slumbertone fades out gently when the time comes — or stops instantly, if that suits you better.

BUILT FOR THE DARK
Every sound is a two-minute studio loop that repeats with no click and no gap, so there is no seam to catch your ear at 3am. Switching sounds crossfades instead of cutting. The background breathes slowly in the color of whatever is playing, and the whole app is dark by design — nothing on screen is brighter than it needs to be.

• Plays in the background and with the silent switch
• Full lock screen, Control Center and Dynamic Island controls
• iPhone and iPad layouts
• Works offline once installed
• No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no data collected

Headphones or a bedside speaker recommended.

Slumbertone is not a medical device.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.1 — 2026-08-27

Slumbertone 2.0 is the biggest update since launch.

NINE SOUNDS, UP FROM FOUR
Deep Brown Noise joins the free Classic pack — lower and rounder than Brown, rebuilt from scratch for this release. And a new Nature Sounds pack adds Birdsong, Crackling Fire, Tibetan Singing Bowls and Wind Chimes as a single one-time unlock.

HEAR BEFORE YOU BUY
Tap any locked sound and it plays for thirty seconds — the real sound, not a sample reel. Buy it and playback simply continues.

A REAL PICKER
The three-row wheel is gone. Sounds now sit in a two-column grid with the pack you are browsing on a tab above it, so every sound is one tap away.

EVERY SOUND RE-LEVELED
The whole library was measured to broadcast loudness standard and matched, so switching sounds no longer means reaching for the volume. Several sounds were rebuilt to remove inaudible sub-bass that was eating headroom without ever reaching your ears.

ALSO IN THIS RELEASE
• Switching sounds now crossfades instead of cutting
• The breathing background is far more visible, and each sound has its own palette
• Lock screen artwork
• Contact Us and Our Apps, from the new footer
• Reclaimed the empty space below the timer card
• Dark mode only — the light theme is gone

Sleep well.

### 1.7.0 — 2026-07-23

This update gives Slumbertone a fresh coat of polish and a stronger foundation:

* A refreshed look on iOS 26, with Apple's new Liquid Glass design across cards, controls, and the timer sheets, plus new raised play and stop buttons that follow your selected sound's color.
* Upgraded to the latest app framework for better performance, reliability, and compatibility with the newest devices.
* Cleaned up under the hood for a leaner, faster app.

As always: pick a sound, set your timer, and sleep well.

### 1.6.0 — 2026-05-27

Slumbertone 1.6.0 — Sleep softer.

• Brand-new native time pickers for Custom Duration and Wake At — the familiar iOS spinner, polished for low light.
• Slumbertone now steps aside gracefully for phone calls and resumes when the call ends.
• Music, Podcasts, and your other audio apps regain focus the moment Slumbertone stops.
• Smoother fade-in every time you press Play.
• Cancelling a sleep timer cleanly aborts any in-flight fade-out.
• Quicker sound switching from the home wheel.
• A handful of under-the-hood fixes for a more reliable night.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-04-25

Slumbertone has a brand new look. The interface has been completely redesigned with a clean, modern aesthetic — smoother gradients, refined glass cards, and a background that shifts color to match whatever sound is playing.

Sound selection is now a smooth scroll wheel right on the main screen — no more tapping into a separate picker. The play button now toggles to Pause while audio is running, and both timer pickers have been rebuilt as scroll wheels for a much more natural feel.

Same seamless loops, better everything else.

### 1.4.2 — 2025-09-14

What’s New (1.4.2):
	•	Resolved “Unable to start audio” on some devices after updating iOS.
	•	Rebuilt all noise tracks for seamless looping—no clicks or surges at the loop point.
	•	Tuned levels so Brown Noise is clearer at normal volume.
	•	Stability improvements for background playback and lock-screen control.
