Layer rain over a fireplace, add one of seven noise colors, and drift off on a timer that fades. 31 sounds, all included. No subscription, no account.
Most sleep apps hand you a fixed playlist and a monthly bill. Dreamwave Radio hands you a mixing desk.
Layer rain over a fireplace. Put a fan under a night train. Set the level of each sound independently until it sounds like the room you actually want to fall asleep in. Thirty-one sounds, and every one of them is included.
MIX UP TO THREE SOUNDS AT ONCE
Not a playlist, a mix. Pin up to three stations and set each level on its own fader. Rain on a tent over distant thunder. Night wind under a fireplace. Or Slow Drift on its own: thirty unbroken minutes that stay even from the first minute to the last, for nights when nature sounds are too busy. The combination is the point.
SOUNDS THAT NEVER REPEAT
Most sleep apps play a recording on a loop, and at 3am you hear the join. Night Wind gusts on three cycles that never line up. Distant Rain places every drop somewhere new. The seven noise colors never repeat within a night. The app builds these sounds as it plays them, so there is no join to hear. The recorded ones are cut to run seamlessly, so a long night is one continuous sound rather than a track that keeps starting over.
SEVEN NOISE COLORS
White, Pink, Deep Hush, Grey, Green, Blue and Violet. Which one works is personal, especially for masking tinnitus, so the whole set is here rather than the usual three.
JUST ASK
"Play rain in Dreamwave Radio." "Set a sleep timer." "Give me fifteen more minutes." Siri starts a sound, adds one to the mix, or moves the timer without the app ever coming to the screen. Everything Siri can do is also a Shortcut, so a sound can start as part of your bedtime routine.
A SLEEP TIMER THAT FADES
Presets for the usual nights, or drag the scale to any duration from 1 to 120 minutes. The mix fades out instead of stopping dead, so the timer never wakes you on its way out. While it runs it sits on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so a glance tells you how long is left.
BUILT FOR THE DARK
Night mode dims the interface to almost nothing without disabling it. Every control stays reachable, so you are never poking at a black screen trying to turn the volume down.
THE ROOM REACTS
The background responds to what you are playing, so a glance tells you what is running without reading a single label.
WORKS EVERYWHERE
Plays in the background, over the lock screen, through AirPlay and Bluetooth, and never starts by itself over audio that is already playing. iPhone and iPad, with a full-screen sound library on iPad. Available in nine languages, sound names included.
PRIVACY IS ARCHITECTURAL, NOT A POLICY
No account. No sign-in. No analytics SDK. No advertising SDK. No server component of any kind. Your pinned sounds and levels are stored on your device and nowhere else. There is nothing to collect, so nothing is collected.
BUY IT ONCE
One purchase, and the app is yours. No subscription, no renewals, no "premium" tier appearing later. Every sound is included from the first launch, and every sound added later comes with it.

- NEW: Fall asleep to a podcast or an audiobook with your mix underneath. Turn on "Play Along With Other Audio" in Settings, and the rain plays under the voice instead of stopping it
- IMPROVED: Stop your mix in the app or with Siri, and a podcast or audiobook it had paused can pick up again
- IMPROVED: Switch to AirPods, a Bluetooth speaker or AirPlay while a mix plays, and the sound follows you to the new speaker
Thirty-one sounds, layered three at a time, on a timer that fades out. Nine languages. Everything happens on your device: no account, no tracking, no subscription.
