- WHAT IS LOÓNA? loóna is the first app that lets you quickly disconnect from a long stressful day and get in the right mood for sleep. - SO, IT'S ANOTHER SLEEP APP, RIGHT? Not exactly. loóna isn’t a list of direct go-to-sleep techniques, but rather a mood-altering app that helps you to stay calm during the day and prepares you emotionally for going to sleep in the evening. - WHY IS BEDTIME MOOD IMPORTANT? Negative emotions we accumulate during the day are processed and consolidated by our brain during sleep making them more difficult to disassociate from when faced again in the future. Moreover, feeling angry, anxious, down, or, the opposite, excited, and elated, is likely to affect latencies to sleep onset and REM-sleep. People mistake it for the symptoms of a sleep disorder, but in reality, they just may be in the wrong mood for sleep. - HOW DOES LOÓNA WORK? From the wake up and during the busy day Loóna will support your emotional states with playlists and immersive stories. Each night you’ll have a recommended escape. An escape is a guided session that combines activity-based relaxation, storytelling, and sounds in a unique way. Complete it to shut the frantic world out, reset your mind, and create the perfect mood for sleep. Loóna saves your escape sessions to your Apple Health app. The upgrade to loóna PLUS provides access to the entire collection of escapes.

Scroll yourself to sleep... 1000+ sounds, stories, music, meditations, and visuals designed to give you great sleep. It's so easy to scroll through your social media feeds and feel terrible. "Doom scrolling" is a real phenomenon that causes a lot of harm to our wellbeing. But it doesn't have to be this way. We've designed Scrollaby to use that same familiar, comfortable scrolling mechanic to present specially created content that relaxes your body and mind to help you prepare for slumber. Instead of counting likes, you'll be counting sheep (not literally, don't be silly). Using the latest clinical and academic research, we've incorporated dozens of different techniques proven to help you rest. Things like HRV Breathing, CBT-I, Progressive Muscle Relaxation, Meditation, Autogenic Training, Pscyho-acoutic music, and much more! Each time you open Scrollaby you'll be presented with a randomized feed of content, keeping things fresh (we add new material to your library every week). You can "heart" content to save it as a favorite. Set a sleep timer for automatic fadeout. Enable Reminders or Healthkit to help build good habits. It's time to trade screen time for sleep time. Happy Scrolling, Happy Sleeping. SUBSCRIPTION AND TERMS When you download Scrollaby you can opt into a 3-day free trial. Scrollaby offers auto-renewing monthly and yearly subscription options for access to the app's features and content. Your Scrollaby subscription will automatically renew at the end of each term and payment will be charged through your iTunes account. You can turn off auto-renew at any time from your iTunes account settings but refunds will not be provided for any unused portion of the term. To avoid renewal, you must cancel at least 24 hours before your subscription or trial ends. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Any unused portion of a free trial period will be forfeited if you purchase a subscription. As with all of our apps, if you would like to use Scrollaby but have trouble affording it please email us at support@scrollaby.com so we can help you with our financial assistance program.
