You already fall asleep to music. But every night, the same thing happens: your playlist ends abruptly with sleep timers on. When silence jolts you awake, your sleep quality takes a toll. DriftOff fixes this. Your music fades gradually to silence over a duration of your choice. You never notice it happening. You just... drift off. And in the morning? Instead of a blaring alarm ripping you from sleep, your favorite music fades in from silence, gently bringing you awake over 5 to 30 minutes. Research shows gradual sound waking reduces sleep inertia, that heavy, groggy feeling that ruins your first hour. SLEEP: FADE OUT Your music plays. The volume slowly, invisibly decreases. You fall asleep naturally. -- Pick any song, album, or playlist from Apple Music -- Set your fade duration -- Choose a fade curve that matches how you fall asleep -- Lock your phone -- the fade continues in the background -- No sudden silence. No waking up. Just sleep. WAKE: FADE IN Your alarm time arrives. Music starts at a whisper and rises. -- Schedule alarms for any day of the week -- Music fades in from silence to your chosen volume -- Replace harsh alarm buzzes with your morning playlist -- Wake up aware and alert, not startled and groggy WORKS IN THE BACKGROUND Start your sleep fade, lock your phone, put it on the nightstand. DriftOff keeps working. The volume decreases smoothly through the night, even through incoming calls and notifications. Your phone's battery barely notices -- DriftOff uses native iOS audio, not power-hungry processing. 4 FADE CURVES Not everyone falls asleep the same way. Choose the curve that matches your pattern: -- Linear: Steady, even decrease -- Ease In: Slow start, faster at the end (for people who take a while to get drowsy) -- Ease Out: Quick initial drop, then a long gentle tail (most popular) -- Ease In-Out: Slow start and slow finish, faster in the middle FREE TO START. AFFORDABLE TO UPGRADE. DriftOff's sleep fade works completely free, forever. No trial that expires. No "3 free nights." Just use it tonight. Want additional wake alarms, custom fade curves, and more? Premium plans start at $1.99/month -- less than half a coffee. Or grab lifetime access for $29.99 and never think about it again. -- Free: Sleep fade with linear curve, 1 alarm, ad-supported -- Monthly: $1.99/mo (USD) (7-day free trial) -- Yearly: $12.99/yr (USD) -- save 46% (7-day free trial) -- Lifetime: $29.99 one-time purchase A NOTE ABOUT APPLE MUSIC DriftOff works with Apple Music because it is the only streaming service on iOS that allows apps to control playback and volume natively. We considered supporting other music apps, but they do not offer this level of integration. We would rather do one thing exceptionally well than do many things poorly. If you have music in your Apple Music library, and/or a subscription to Apple Music, DriftOff will feel like magic. If you do not, this is not the right app for you -- and we respect your time enough to say that upfront. PRIVACY No account needed. No personal data collected. No tracking. Everything stays on your device. REQUIREMENTS Phone or iPad with iOS 17 or later Apple Music subscription (for streaming songs; local library works as well) Notification permissions (for wake alarms) Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. Terms of Use: https://dentfol.io/driftoff/tos Privacy Policy: https://dentfol.io/driftoff/privacy Built by an indie developer who spent years falling asleep to music and hating the moment it stopped. DriftOff is the app I wished existed.
