"La semplicità è la suprema sofisticazione" -- Leonardo da Vinci Earplug is a minimalist relaxation app. When you can't sleep, reach for Earplug. It only does one thing... perfectly. Sleep, meditate and concentrate soundly with a buttery–smooth "masking" track that can help to hide: • Snoring • Sirens • Wild animals • Distant screams • Neighbors • Poltergeists • Sadness • Breathing EARPLUG SOUND Earplug Sound is our proudest creation: it's a rarefied blend of pink and white noise looped and spun like silk; Earplug’s Sound pairs up perfectly with almost any source of environmental noise, helping to lessen its impact and free your mind. DISTRACTION-FREE APP When you need Earplug most, you're either half-asleep or you want to be. You don't want to fiddle. You want the app that was created by experts in audio and user interface to guide your experience. Earplug has no options, no popups and no nags... Ever! We made Earplug because we're like you. We love sleep-sound apps but never found what we were searching for, so we built our own: Earplug. It's distraction-free in its sound, design and stability, and it's quality from beginning to end. INSTRUCTIONS • Unlock your iPhone, iPad or Mac • Open the Earplug app Earplug can also be controlled from the Control Center, Apple Watch, and the iPhone lock screen. The App also works great with headphones (especially Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones and Bose QuietComfort 35 Series II) and external speakers. The App will resume after your alarm or timer goes off, and will respond to the Bluetooth media controls on your lock screen. SLEEP Sleep isn't something you do. Wait for it!
