Want to fall asleep? Me too! That's why I made Scroll to Sleep, because I kept doing the thing I think a lot of us do: getting into bed, opening my phone for “just a minute,” and then accidentally feeding my brain a full buffet of noise right before trying to sleep. This didn't feel great (especially in the morning). That's why I designed Scroll to Sleep to be the coziest sleep app ever created to help you relax, wind down, and replace late-night doomscrolling with something softer, slower, and sleepier. So instead of another bright, stressful feed, Scroll to Sleep gives you a calmer bedtime scroll filled with sleepy sheep, relaxing scenes, soothing sounds like ambient ASMR audio and white noise, and peaceful little nighttime moments. Swipe through a gentle sheep social feed, sail across quiet waters, relax under the stars, and give your thumb something soft to do while your mind gets ready for sleep. It’s a simple bedtime app for anyone who wants a calmer night routine, a relaxing screen experience, or a cozy alternative to social media scrolling before bed. FEATURES: • The original relaxing sleepy sailing scene, still free just like it was when it launched • Five personally designed sleep scenes. • No ads, not a single ad. Not a one. • Soothing sleep sounds, ambient ASMR audio, and calming white noise for each scene. • Extra screen dimmer tools for a darker nighttime experience • Auto dimmer and app slowdown time to help conserve battery if you doze off • Custom sleep timer to remind you it's time to scroll to sleep • A calm alternative to doomscrolling before bed • Peaceful visuals for your night routine • Designed for relaxing in bed, on the couch, while traveling, or anytime you want to slow down Scroll to Sleep is not another meditation course, a complicated sleep tracker, or a noisy social feed. It's just a cozy little place to scroll when you want to relax. It worked for me and so many others, I hope it works for you :) Nite nite, Kurtiswow ------------------------ Privacy Policy https://www.kurtiswow.com/privacy-policy-scroll-to-sleep Terms of Use (EULA) https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Scroll to Sleep at free against Color Sort Therapy's free with in-app purchases. Scroll to Sleep also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Color Sort Therapy's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 138). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Scroll to Sleep sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Color Sort Therapy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Color Sort Therapy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Sort Therapy has 1.5K ratings behind it against 138, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 85% and 84% positive.
Scroll to Sleep ships an update every 2 weeks, Color Sort Therapy monthly. Both last shipped on October 22, 2026.
