Fall asleep and focus to sounds you mix yourself, in a cozy cat's room. Rain, thunder, crickets, birds, wind, and a campfire. Pick the sounds you love, build your own white noise, and drift off next to your cat. ■ Your own mixes Tap a sound to turn it on, slide up or down to set its volume. Choose light or heavy rain, and thunder that rolls in rarely, sometimes, or often. Name and save the mixes you love. ■ Sounds that feel alive Nothing loops the same way twice. Thunder rumbles at random in the distance, the campfire pops now and then, and crickets and wind rise and fall like breathing. ■ Indoor mode One tap makes every sound feel like it's coming through the window, like lying by the glass on a rainy night. ■ Themes Complete scenes with animation and sounds you can only hear there. · Manhattan Hotel, 2 AM — passing cars, sirens, and street steam outside a rainy window · Night Flight, Window Seat — the low hum of the engines and the cabin around you · Forest Camp, by the Stream — a campfire outside your tent, a stream, and crickets Every theme can be previewed free for 30 seconds. ■ Made for falling asleep · Sleep timer: 1, 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours, or keep playing. Fades out gently over the last 5 minutes · Keeps playing with the screen off or while you use other apps · Never any ads while you're listening ■ Free to use Making, saving, and playing mixes with the basic sounds, the timer, and indoor mode are all free, with no ads. Themes are included with a subscription, or you can watch one ad when you choose to and listen until the next morning. ■ Subscription · Subscribe to listen to every theme with no ads.
