SleepMaker: White Noise & Sleep Sounds Fall asleep faster with white noise, pink noise, brown noise, rain sounds, ocean waves, and a rich library of calming sleep sounds. Whether you need to block distractions, soothe a baby, focus at work, or simply relax before bed, SleepMaker gives you studio-quality audio tuned for deep sleep, stress relief, and natural relaxation. NEW: REAL-TIME NOISE MACHINE White, pink, brown, blue, grey, and violet noise synthesised on-device in real time — not looped recordings, so they never repeat and never fade out mid-sound. Adjust tilt (brighter or darker), stereo width, and volume to dial in exactly the sound that helps you fall asleep. Includes its own sleep timer with fade-out. FULL SOUND LIBRARY • White noise, pink noise, brown noise — procedural, loop-free • Rain sounds, thunder, storms, rainfall on tents • Ocean waves, streams, rivers, waterfalls • Forest ambience, crickets, birds, wind • Fan sounds, hairdryer, vacuum, airplane cabin, air conditioner • Baby-specific: womb, heartbeat, lullabies, swaddle ambient • Focus loops for study, work, meditation, and yoga CUSTOM MIX BUILDER Layer any sounds together and save your personal mix. Combine rain, fan, and distant thunder — or ocean, seagulls, and wind. Mix to your taste and recall it with one tap. SLEEP TIMER WITH FADE-OUT Set the timer and drift off. SleepMaker gently fades the audio to zero over your chosen duration so it never stops abruptly and never wakes you up. FOR EVERY NEED • Insomnia — mask tinnitus, racing thoughts, and noisy neighbours • Babies and toddlers — gentle heartbeat, womb, and lullaby tones • Focus — pink noise and ambient tones for studying, coding, reading • Meditation and yoga — forest, stream, and chime backdrops • Travel — block airplane, train, and hotel noise • ASMR — gentle whispers, crackles, and taps • Anxiety and stress relief — calming spa and nature soundscapes WORKS EVERYWHERE • Apple Watch companion — start, stop, and switch sounds from your wrist • Home-screen widget showing the current mix and playback state • Lock Screen and Dynamic Island Now Playing controls with artwork • Background playback — keep sounds running while you use other apps • Offline — every sound is downloadable for use without Wi-Fi • 40+ app languages supported FREE TO USE, PRO UNLOCKS EVERYTHING Core sounds and the noise generator are free.
