About

Phesleep

Features
Read full description

「Good sleep doesn’t need to be remembered.」 Phesleep is a quiet companion for sleep and daytime mindfulness. No streaks. No sleep scores. No pressure to optimize your rest. When you need guidance, it’s there. When you don’t, it gently steps away. At night, sleep guidance helps you wind down. The voice softens, the words become fewer, and the experience slowly fades, leaving more room for rest. During the day, mindfulness helps you pause, return to the present, and move on with a clearer mind. You can also write down what’s still on your mind before bed, leave it with the night, and revisit it gently in the morning. 【Features】 • Sleep guidance for winding down at night • Mindfulness practice for daytime grounding • Bedtime notes to write, let go, and revisit tomorrow • Auto mode that switches by time of day • Multiple voices, including female, male, and neutral tones • Guided audio in Chinese, English, and Japanese • Separate guidance lengths for sleep and mindfulness When you need it, Phesleep is there quietly — helping you pause, let go, and rest. Sleep well tonight.
