*** THE #1 APP FOR SLEEP TRACKING *** Sleep is a sequence of several cycles, each lasting 1.5 hours. A good night sleep consists of 5-6 complete cycles. If you wake up in the middle of the cycle, you feel groggy and exhausted. Therefore, to feel refreshed and alert, it is important to wake up between cycles. Sleep Timer counts sleep cycles, taking into account the average time needed for a person to fall asleep (it is 14 minutes). With this app, you can find out when to go to bed, if you need to wake up at a certain time or when to wake up if you go to sleep right now. Then, in just one click, you can set up an alarm to wake up at the right time. --- Sleep Timer is also part of the Growth Bundle.

How are you feeling right now? Sawa is a calm mood tracker. Pause for a second, notice how you feel and see how your days add up. One check-in, three steps • Pick one of five levels, from Awful to Great. • Mark what affected your mood. Add your own factors and hide the ones that don't fit. • Write a few words if you want to. This step is optional. What's inside • History: your entries by day, week and month, with a chart that shows how your mood shifts over time. • Milestones: Sawa supports you when the moment is right. There’s nothing to chase: no points, no streaks, no race. • Private by design: entries stay only on this device — no account, no cloud, no backups. Lock the app with biometrics or your device passcode. • Made to fit: six languages, light and dark themes. Please note Sawa helps you notice how you feel. It is not a medical device: it doesn't diagnose, treat or prevent any condition and isn't a substitute for professional help. If things feel hard, talk to a healthcare professional. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services. Noticing how you feel is already a way of caring for yourself.
