Wind Down

Read full description

Your body needs a runway before sleep. Wind Down gives you one: a guided 10-minute bedtime ritual that carries you from a wired, racing mind to genuinely ready for bed. Most sleep apps hand you a playlist and hope for the best. Wind Down hands you a sequence. Gentle stretches to release the day, 4-7-8 breathing paced by a glowing orb, a dim-the-lights stretch of stillness, and one quiet moment to reflect - every step timed for you, so you never have to decide what comes next. Want shorter or longer? Run the 5-minute reset, the 15-minute deep descent, or open the builder and set each step to the length that fits tonight. WHAT YOU GET - A guided wind-down that paces every step for you, so all you do is follow along - 4-7-8 and box breathing led by a visual orb you can breathe with in the dark - Eight ambient night sounds - rain, ocean, fireplace, distant thunder, fan, night meadow and more - synthesized live on your phone, nothing to download - A sleep timer plus a gentle fade-out, so the sound stops after you do - A bedtime reminder that nudges you 15 minutes before the bedtime you set - A nightly streak, month calendar and 4-week chart that show the habit taking hold PERFECT FOR - Anyone who lies down and immediately starts replaying the entire day - People who scroll until midnight and want a better last fifteen minutes - Shift workers and light sleepers who need the same ritual at any hour - Anyone trying to build a bedtime habit that actually sticks past week one WHY NOT JUST PLAY A SLEEP PLAYLIST? A playlist works on the room. Wind Down works on you - it slows your breath, loosens your shoulders and closes the day out before the lights go off. And when sound is all you want, the timer fades it away on its own instead of playing until morning. Wind Down is a relaxation and sleep-hygiene helper, not a medical treatment. PRIVACY Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-in, no ads, no tracking. Nothing you do here leaves your phone. FULL ACCESS One purchase unlocks all of it: the three guided routines plus the custom routine builder, the breathing orb, all eight ambient sounds with sleep timer and fade-out, bedtime reminders, and the full streak, calendar, achievements and progress history. Choose weekly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime unlock. Yearly costs far less than paying weekly across a year, and lifetime is a single payment that includes every future update. Tonight, start the ritual ten minutes before you plan to sleep. That is the whole ask.
