DreamPhones is a companion for your everyday relaxation and wellness routine. Connect a compatible DreamPhones headset to control guided sessions, choose your breathing cues, and keep track of your sessions over time. YOUR SESSION, YOUR CHOICE Choose spoken breathing guidance, instrument cues, or a completely silent session. Use the included session audio or your own music when you want sound. Bluetooth audio connects separately from headset controls, with setup guidance when needed. Available connection options depend on your headset and firmware. OPTIONAL WELLNESS DATA Connect a supported DreamPhones Ring to view available heart-rate, sleep, and activity data. With your permission, Apple Health can also provide supported wellness measurements. A ring is optional: sessions show a simple countdown when no fresh heart-rate reading is available, and switch to the heart-rate view when a reading arrives. SESSION HISTORY AND SOPHIE Review your session history and available wellness trends. Chat or speak with Sophie, an AI wellness companion, and choose whether to share wellness context for more relevant conversations. IMPORTANT TO KNOW A compatible DreamPhones headset is required for device-controlled stimulation sessions. Ring readings require a supported ring or an available permitted data source. Some features require an internet connection. Device availability and features vary by model and firmware. DreamPhones is for general wellness, relaxation, and sleep support. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Wellness readings and AI responses are not medical advice. Consult a healthcare professional about medical concerns and follow the device instructions.
