No more searching for videos or listening to ads right before you want to fall asleep. With a simple interface, Zzzen focuses on the least amount of interactions so you can focus on your rest! Zzzen offers four FREE original lofi tracks to the sounds of nature, perfect for sleeping, studying or meditating. Choose between music playing the over soothing ripples of water, deep sounds of thunder, calming noises of the forest, or warm cackling of fire. Easily change the music by pressing the left or right side of the screen, and pause the music by pressing the center of the screen. The app will only work with the app open to ensure you focus on sleeping or resting, and browsing your phone, so just leave it on for soothing sounds while your phone is plugged in to charge!
