Fall asleep to audiobooks - DreamRead pauses when you doze off and picks up where you left in the morning. Now completely free.
DreamRead can auto-pause your audiobook when bedtime listening turns into sleep — so you wake up where you left off, not chapters ahead. It uses Apple Watch heart-rate signals to time the pause; no manual timers, no rewinding in the morning.
HOW IT WORKS
DreamRead pairs with Apple Watch to read heart-rate signals while you listen at night. When the signals look like you've drifted off, the app gently auto-pauses your audiobook. Next time you open the app, you're right where you stopped.
FEATURES
- Apple Watch Auto-Pause (Premium) — heart-rate signals from Apple Watch tell the app to pause when you drift off at night. No timer guessing, no chapter rewinding.
- Sleep Tab — see tonight's status and your full sleep history in one place.
- Sleep Timer — set a sleep timer for nights without your Watch.
- Discover — search thousands of free audiobooks by category or keyword. Powered by LibriVox and Internet Archive.
- Import Your Books — add audiobooks from the Files app. Supports MP3, M4A, M4B, AAC, FLAC and more.
- Bookmarks & Progress — save your favorite moments and pick up exactly where you stopped.
- Bedside Mode — a minimal player screen designed for nighttime listening.
- Apple Watch Control — play, pause, skip and adjust volume directly from your wrist.
- Lock Screen Controls — full playback controls without unlocking your phone.
- Background Playback — keep listening while your screen is off.
