Headspace wants an hour. Reset wants five minutes. One small ritual a night. No streaks. No guilt. No 40-minute guided meditation that you'll feel bad about skipping. Just one quiet thing to put the day down. โ€” WHAT A RESET FEELS LIKE โ€” Tonight's ritual is already picked for you when you open the app. Tap it. Breathe with the orb for five minutes. Or write one line in your journal. Or just listen to soft rain. That's the whole thing. You're done by the time your kettle boils. โ€” WHY PEOPLE USE IT โ€” โ€ข After a long shift โ€” decompress before you hit the couch โ€ข Can't sleep โ€” put the day down in 5 minutes, not 45 โ€ข Bad day โ€” no setup, no choice paralysis, just press start โ€ข Share a Reset Card to your story when you're ready to talk about it โ€” WHAT'S INSIDE โ€” โ€ข A small library of 5-minute rituals: breathwork, gratitude, soundscapes, journaling, and gentle stretches โ€ข A dusk-themed interface designed to be readable in bed โ€ข Shareable Reset Cards โ€” a quiet, aesthetic way to mark a good night โ€ข Local-only by default: no account, no cloud, no data harvesting โ€ข A streak you can't lose โ€” we count the good nights, we don't punish the misses โ€ข Dynamic Island support โ€” your ritual timer stays visible when you minimize โ€” RESET PLUS โ€” Unlock the full library and every new ritual we add: โ€ข Weekly โ€” $4.99 / week, with a 7-day free trial โ€ข Yearly โ€” $39.99 / year (about 85% less than the weekly run-rate) Cancel anytime in Settings. The free trial converts automatically unless you cancel before day 7. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. โ€” THE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY โ€” We don't think wellness apps should feel like homework. Reset is deliberately the opposite of an ambitious meditation course. It's the five quiet minutes between the last thing and sleep. Tired is not a badge. Put the day down. โ€” Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://culi.app/apps/reset/privacy-policy

About

WindDown Bedtime Ritual

Features
Read full description

WindDown is a bedtime routine you actually follow. Build a wind-down checklist with real times, get gentle screens-off and lights-down nudges, rate your sleep in the morning, and watch WindDown tie the two together: the nights you follow your routine against the nights you skip it. A ROUTINE WITH TIMES, NOT JUST A LIST Start from a built-in routine (Wind-down basics, Screen-free evening, Deep rest) or build your own from a library of 18 real steps, each with a reason and a suggested time. WindDown clocks every step off your bedtime, so screens off at 10:15, lights down at 10:20, a few pages at 10:40. Reorder, edit, or write your own. SCREENS-OFF AND LIGHTS-DOWN REMINDERS Flag any step as a reminder and WindDown nudges you at its time, every evening. The screens-off and lights-down steps come ready to remind, because those are the two that decide the night. A MORNING CHECK-IN THAT ADDS UP Rate how you slept, log the hours, add a note. It takes ten seconds and it is the other half of the story. SEE HOW YOUR ROUTINE SHAPES YOUR SLEEP This is the part a notes app cannot do. WindDown compares the nights you followed your routine against the nights you did not, and tells you the difference: "Follow the routine and you rate sleep 3.8, versus 2.8 on off nights." It reads the link between routine adherence and sleep quality from your own nights, and charts both over the last three weeks. STREAKS WITH GRACE NIGHTS Keep a streak going for following your wind-down, with room to breathe: a couple of off nights spend a grace night before the streak resets, so one late evening does not undo a month. A WEEKLY SLEEP REPORT Every week rolls up into a report: nights logged, average quality, average adherence, time asleep, your best night, and a night-by-night breakdown. Export it as a clean PDF whenever you want it, or keep it in your archive. ON EVERY SCREEN YOU OWN WindDown syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud. No account, no tracking. Everything lives on your device and in your private iCloud. FREE VS PRO Free includes one routine and 14 nights of history with every tool: the timed checklist, reminders, the morning check-in, the adherence-vs-quality insight, and streaks. WindDown Pro unlocks unlimited night history, extra routines, and the weekly PDF report. WindDown is a wellness and routine tool for your own records, not medical advice. If sleep problems last, talk to a healthcare professional. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS WindDown Pro is available as a monthly subscription ($2.99 USD per month) or a yearly subscription ($19.99 USD per year); a one-time Lifetime unlock ($49.99 USD) is also offered. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions.
