SomniTune now speaks German: the whole app and its App Store page are available in Deutsch.

Three new sounds: Green Noise, a soft mid-range noise; Café Murmur, a quiet café in the background; and Distant Highway, a muffled road at night with a car passing now and then. All three are in Pro.

Meditation: seven new soundscapes for winding down — singing bowls, a crystal bowl, Tibetan bells, two kinds of wind chimes, a slow bowl drone and a handpan in a garden. Singing Bowls is free. Three new music beds: Ethereal Choir, Drift and Tanpura. SomniTune now speaks Spanish. Also fixed: counts now read "1 night" rather than "1 nights", times follow your iPhone's clock format everywhere, and the sleep-stage chart labels no longer break.

Your alarm now rings like the Clock app's. On iOS 26, SomniTune hands its alarm to iOS itself, so it rings on silent and through a Focus, full screen, whether or not the app is running, with Stop and Snooze on the lock screen. Allow Alarms when SomniTune asks. On earlier iOS it works as before. The early ring can now start up to an hour before your set time, as well as 15, 30 or 45 minutes. Fixed: an early ring could fail to make any sound, and stopping the alarm from its notification left SomniTune listening through the morning. Answering the alarm now ends the night's listening. A purring cat, distant thunder, the waterfall and pink noise now play at their proper level through the iPhone speaker. They had been losing most of their low end.

A wake-up alarm that can ring a little early. Set the time you need to be up by, and how early SomniTune may wake you: 15, 30 or 45 minutes. Inside that window it watches the movement it already records overnight, and if you have started stirring it rings then instead of waiting. If nothing like that turns up, it rings at your time exactly — never after it. An iPhone measures movement and sound, not sleep stages, so this is a judgement about movement and nothing more, and the app says so where you set it. Ringing at your set time does not depend on SomniTune running: that time is also a notification, so the alarm still goes off if the app closed or your iPhone restarted overnight. Five new sounds: a purring cat, crickets, a waterfall, distant thunder, and pink noise — the one colour of noise with real sleep trials behind it. Your fastest sound now appears from the second night you try one, and it tells you how clear the difference is: one sound clearly ahead, barely ahead, or level with another. No more waiting a week for the app to say anything. Snore recordings are now part of SomniTune Pro. Measuring your snoring is not — the minutes, the count and the marks on your night chart stay on every plan. Recordings already on your iPhone remain yours to play and delete.

Sleep tracking without a wearable. If you don't have a watch or a ring, SomniTune can now estimate your night from your iPhone: when you settled, how restless you were, and when you got up. Start a sound at bedtime and leave the phone on the bed or nightstand. With your permission it also listens through the night — on your iPhone only — for snoring, breathing and the noises that disturbed you. Audio is analysed as it happens and never recorded, saved or uploaded. An iPhone cannot measure sleep stages or heart rate, so these nights show movement and sound instead. If a watch or ring already writes sleep to Apple Health, SomniTune keeps using that. Also in this version: every sound remastered from its original recording, and a gentler balance on the iPhone speaker.
