Shwssh: Sleep Sounds

White noise and your own voice

$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Your recordings on every device, sounds that come back if your baby wakes crying and a dim night light for feeds. One price, no subscription. Shwssh is a sleep sound app for the small hours. Pick one sound or build a mix. Thirty-five are included, sixteen sounds and nineteen songs, and each keeps its own level, so the rain can sit under the lullaby instead of on top of it. Four starter mixes are there for when you would rather not decide at 3am. RECORD YOUR OWN Hold the microphone, or tap once to start and again to stop, and shush, hum or sing. Whatever settles your baby lands at the top of My Sounds, plays straight away and mixes with everything else exactly the same way. A TIMER THAT FADES Set it and the mix winds down rather than cutting off. Add ten more minutes without getting up. A PASTURE THAT LISTENS Behind it all is a hand-felted night scene, animated and slow. Play the rain and it rains. Play the storm and it rolls in over the hills. Play the train and one crosses the viaduct. Sheep jump the fence and count themselves. Turn the whole scene off and the app uses noticeably less battery overnight.

YOUR RECORDINGS ON EVERY DEVICE Your own recordings now travel through iCloud to your other iPhones and iPads. It is on in Settings, and turning it off or signing out never removes anything from this phone. SOUNDS BACK ON FOR A CRY An optional setting. After the sleep timer has faded out, Shwssh listens for crying for up to four hours, and if it hears your baby the same sounds fade back in with the same timer. It listens on the device and records nothing. In the morning the timer balloon and a little bubble in the pasture show how many times it happened and how each one went. It can miss a cry or hear one that isn’t there, so it isn’t a baby monitor. A NIGHT LIGHT FOR FEEDS The moon button on the player fills the screen with a dim, warm glow. Drag to make it brighter or dimmer, tap to turn it off. A WIDGET FOR BEDTIME A new widget puts on a starter mix, or your last mix, with one press. The widgets now look like the player, with the timer's balloon beside the pause button. SMARTER AT NIGHT The lock screen card waits for bedtime, and after about five nights learns when bedtime is in your house. Battery saver now starts on, and you can change it in Settings. MORE ROOM Turn your iPhone on its side for the player and your sounds side by side. iPad shows both at once, and Shwssh is ready for iPhone Duo, open or closed. ON YOUR WRIST When your phone is not nearby, the Apple Watch app’s Play button starts one of its own sounds. A NEW FELT ICON Stitched in purple wool for October.
