About
Yoinemu is a minimalist ambient sound app for falling asleep. Designed in Japan, completely free, with no ads and no tracking. Just open it, choose a sound, and let yourself drift off.
WHY YOINEMU
Most sleep apps keep adding features. Yoinemu does the opposite. It does one thing — help you fall asleep — and removes everything that gets in the way. Dark, quiet artwork made for nighttime. No sign-up. No subscription. No noise.
A SLOWING BREATH
On the player, a quiet animation breathes a little slower over time, gently guiding your own breathing down toward sleep. You don't have to follow it. It's just there, in the background, like a calm presence in the dark.
15 CAREFULLY CURATED SOUNDS, ACROSS 5 CATEGORIES
Rain
- Noki no Ame — rain on the eaves
- Doshaburi — heavy downpour
- Yoru no Kosame — light rain at night
- Mado Utsu Ame — rain on the window
Water
- Kawa no Se — a river's shallows
- Yose-nami — waves rolling ashore
- Mizuumi no Fuchi — the edge of a lake
Forest
- Yoru no Mori — forest at night
- Kozue no Kaze — wind in the treetops
- Ake no Mori — forest at dawn
Fire
- Takibi — a campfire
- Andon — the glow of an andon lamp
Noise
- Hakuu — white noise
- Yaki — pink noise
- Jinari — brown noise
Each sound keeps its Japanese name, with a short English description so you always know what you're hearing.
FALL ASLEEP, THEN STOP GENTLY
Set a sleep timer and choose a gentle fade. Instead of cutting off abruptly, the sound eases away along a soft S-curve — "stop gently over 10 minutes" — so nothing jolts you awake just as you're drifting off.
QUIET BY DESIGN
- Designed for falling asleep, not for staring at a screen
- Dark artwork that won't light up your room
- Available in English and Japanese
- No accounts, no ads, no tracking
- Every sound is credited to its creator in the app
INDEPENDENT, AND TRANSPARENT
Yoinemu is built and maintained by a single independent developer in Japan. Privacy Policy and Terms of Service are available in both English and Japanese.

FROM JAPAN, WITH CARE
Yoinemu is shaped by a Japanese sense of "yoi no nemuri" — the sleep of early evening. Its name, its Japanese sound titles, and its pared-down artwork all come from that quiet world. We hope it helps you end your day a little more gently.
