Every sleep app ranks its audio by plays and star ratings. Nobody gives five stars at 2am. Ouate measures the only thing that matters, how long you take to fall asleep, and builds everything on it. AUDIO STOPS WHEN YOU SLEEP Not on a timer. Using your phone's motion sensors, Ouate detects the moment you fall asleep and fades the volume out over 90 seconds, without ever waking you. Move during the fade? The sound comes back and the session goes on. Prefer a classic sleep timer? It has one too, your choice. YOU RESUME WHERE SLEEP TOOK YOU No more replaying the same introduction twenty nights in a row. Ouate reopens the session exactly where you drifted off the night before. A RANKING NO ONE ELSE CAN SHOW Every session displays its measured effectiveness: "puts 8 out of 10 listeners to sleep, in 11 minutes". Not reviews, not views, real nights, anonymised and aggregated. And until a session has enough nights, Ouate would rather show nothing than invent a number. THE APP LEARNS WHAT PUTS YOU TO SLEEP After three nights: "you fall asleep 6 minutes faster with whispered voices". Your sleep journal is private, visible to you alone, and the sensors never leave your phone. A MODE FOR 3AM WAKE-UPS A near-black screen, three choices, targets you cannot miss with half-closed eyes. You choose, you put the phone down, you go back to sleep. CREATORS PAID PER LISTEN Hypnotherapists, ASMR artists, storytellers: 80% of subscription revenue goes to the creators you actually listen to. WHAT OUATE DOES NOT DO No ads. No microphone, ever. No feed to scroll at midnight. No notification that wakes you. Listen freely for 3 days, no account needed. Then a 7-day trial with the subscription, cancel anytime. Ouate is not a medical device. If you have a persistent sleep disorder, please see a health professional. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy: ouate.app/en/privacy
