Счёт овечек — засыпайте спокойно Старый способ уснуть, только теперь считать не нужно самому. Приложение спокойно считает овечек вслух, а вам остаётся просто слушать и не держать счёт в голове. Овечка на экране дремлет в такт голосу, а число крупно перелистывается, как на старом перекидном табло. Ничего лишнего: ни лент новостей, ни уведомлений, ни яркого света перед сном. Как это работает Запустите приложение, положите телефон рядом и закройте глаза. Голос неспешно считает: «одна овечка», «две овечки», «три овечки» — с мягкой паузой между числами, в темпе, под который легко задремать. Возможности • Счёт продолжается с выключенным экраном — телефон можно заблокировать и убрать под подушку. Батарея почти не расходуется. • Пауза в одно касание — в приложении или прямо с заблокированного экрана, не разблокируя телефон. • Режим «Слушать вместе с музыкой» — овечки поверх любимого плейлиста, подкаста или радио. • Регулировка громкости голоса. • Переключатель «Не гасить экран», если хочется смотреть на овечку, пока засыпаете. • Счёт на русском и английском. • Часы на экране — время видно, не беря телефон в руки. • Горизонтальный режим для тумбочки или подставки. Про голос Приложение говорит системным голосом вашего телефона — тем, что выбран в Настройках. Хочется другой тембр? Настройки → Универсальный доступ → Устный контент → Голоса. Там же можно скачать более естественные голоса — с ними счёт звучит заметно мягче. Спокойно и честно Без регистрации. Без рекламы. Без интернета — приложение работает полностью на устройстве. Никакие данные не собираются и никуда не передаются. Приятных снов.
