Read full description

QuietNap is a calm timer for naps, sleep, meditation, and short mindful breaks β€” with a sound Mixer, ambient melodies, a guided breathing pace, photoreal Scenes for the night, and a gentle Rhythm view. Use it during the day for a quick reset or a quiet meditation, for a restorative power nap, or at night to fall asleep with a scene you choose and the sound you mixed yourself. No clutter, no accounts, no ads. Use QuietNap to: - take a short Reset break between tasks, with an optional guided breathing pace (box or 4-7-8); - use Calm mode for a quiet, voiceless morning or day meditation (10–30 min) β€” a soft sound bed, an optional breathing pace, and a gentle signal at the end; - use Nap mode for a daytime power nap; - use Sleep mode to fall asleep at night; - fall asleep to a Scene β€” a photoreal, seamlessly looping view: rain on a window, a sleeping cat, a fireplace, ocean waves under the moon, a forest waterfall, a summer night, a night train, rain on a tin roof, a tent in a rainy forest, an autumn forest in the rain; - with Premium, build a custom sound mix under any scene β€” the picture and sound are yours to put together; listen to ambient melodies β€” soft, slowly evolving loops like Dawn and Drift β€” in any mode; - with Premium, mix your own soundscape β€” layer white, brown and pink noise with rain, wind, forest, fireplace and more, each with its own volume and tone; - start from curated ready-made mixes like Rain + Dawn; - choose Flow soundscapes for smooth, non-repeating background audio; - or keep it simple with the calm generated visuals β€” all of them free; - wake up softly with a gentle alarm or Apple Watch haptics; - see your quiet Rhythm β€” weekly summary, your usual time of day, the sounds you return to, and a suggested duration based on your completed sessions; - keep finished sessions in a simple history calendar; - save naps to Apple Health β€” and Calm meditations as Mindful Minutes; - enjoy a clean, quiet interface. Rain Window is free and included with the app. Premium scenes download only when you choose them, keeping the initial download smaller. As you settle in, the scene gradually fades to black. QuietNap Premium unlocks: - the Scenes shelf, with new scenes added over time; - the full Sound Mixer with saved multi-layer mixes; - longer Nap and Sleep sessions, plus the 45-min Recovery nap; - your full Rhythm: weekly patterns, insights and duration suggestions; - more ambient melodies (Aurora, Halo, Slow Sky, First Light, Airglow); - Flow soundscapes and more calming sounds (Fireplace, Night Train, Forest, Wind and more); - Apple Watch haptic wake; - full session history. QuietNap Premium is a subscription, available monthly or yearly. If you bought QuietNap Pro before, your unlock carries over for life β€” nothing to buy again. Built for people who want a minimal, calming app for quick breaks, quiet meditation, power naps, falling asleep, and quiet rest.
