See it
A sky for every sound.
Each sound and each mix paints its own gently animated night: rain streaks and splash rings, waves with foam, campfire embers, fireflies, storm clouds with soft lightning, a distant lit train.
Try it now
A free player, right here.
Five noise colours generated live in your browser, with a sleep timer. It runs the same algorithms as the app. Press play and rest. Open it full screen.
Never loops
Sound made live, never on repeat.
Every sound is synthesized on your iPhone as it plays: the rain falls drop by drop, waves arrive when they like, the fire crackles in its own rhythm. There are no recordings, so there is no seam to notice at 3 a.m. Tap any sound to hear it instantly.
Falls asleep with you
It fades as you drift off.
Set a timer and Softfall fades out slowly, or settles to a quiet floor that keeps masking noise until morning. With Apple Watch, it notices when you have been still for a while and lowers the sound, then brings it back up if you stir.
Mix your own
Sixteen sounds, thirty-three scenes.
Start from a ready-made scene across Noise, Water, Nature, Night, Home, Little ones and Focus, or build your own. Blend sounds and shape each one: drizzle to downpour, embers to blaze, calm sea to rough.
Bedside and nursery
An old iPad becomes a sound machine.
Bedside mode turns a spare iPhone or iPad into a dim bedside clock with your sounds. For little ones: an OK-to-wake colour schedule, a volume cap, and optional cry detection that gently lifts the sound. Listening happens on the device. Nothing is recorded.
Why it is different
Made for the middle of the night.
Opens straight into your last mix with one big Play button. Lock Screen and Control Center controls, widgets, a Live Activity countdown, Siri and Shortcuts.
Nothing loops
Every sound is synthesized live on your device. There are no recordings to repeat, so there is no loop point to wake you.
