Some people sleep better next to someone — and worse without them. Aside is for the nights you're alone. It plays soft, steady breathing, placed gently to one side of the bed, so the room doesn't feel so empty when you're drifting off. Not white noise, not a chatbot. Just the quiet sound of someone breathing softly nearby — the way a room feels when you're not the only one in it. IT NEVER LOOPS Most sleep sounds repeat on a short loop. Your brain notices the seam and quietly pulls you back awake. Aside is built so no two stretches ever sound the same — it plays continuously all night and never repeats, so there's nothing for your mind to catch. IT FEELS LIKE IT'S NEXT TO YOU The breathing is spatial — you can place it on the left or right side of the bed, the way you'd settle in next to someone. Best with headphones or earbuds, but it works on a speaker too. IT STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Everything happens on your device. No account, no sign-up, no tracking, nothing uploaded. What you listen to at night is nobody's business but yours. MADE FOR REAL NIGHTS - Long-distance partners on the nights you're apart - Light sleepers who hate a too-quiet, too-empty room - Anyone who falls asleep faster with someone breathing nearby - Travel, new apartments, or any night that feels a little lonelier than usual HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS Aside doesn't talk, doesn't chat, and doesn't pretend to be a person. The breathing is AI-generated and sequenced on your device so it never repeats. It won't replace anyone, and it isn't therapy. It's one calm, soft sound to help you fall asleep on the nights you'd rather not do it in silence. FREE Aside is free — the whole night, every night. No account, no sign-up, nothing to buy.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Tonight, a few quiet changes: • The night now ends on its own with a slow fade into morning, instead of stopping abruptly. • If your phone restarts during the night, a single touch brings her back. • A new closeness dial lets you settle her a little nearer, or a little further away. • Help is now always within reach — the small icon up top links straight to a crisis line for your region. • Plus larger-text support, clearer cues in the dark, and a gentler very first night. Rest easy.
