iPhone
Every sound free. For settling a baby, for your own sleep, for focus. Now with sounds of home like a kitchen fan and the womb, and an alarm that wakes you to any sound.
Kumofuton is a sleep sound app built around one promise: nothing should get in the way of your sleep. I made it after my newborn son cried through his nights and a little white noise speaker got us through. Now I fall asleep to it myself, and turn it on when I need to focus.
• All 27 sounds are free. No ads, no sign-up
• Keeps playing with your screen off
• Long, seamless loops, so the sound never starts over and wakes anyone
• The wake-up alarm rings through Silent mode and Focus on iOS 26 and later
FOR A BABY, FOR YOU, FOR FOCUS
• Settling a baby: white noise, a kitchen fan, the womb or rain; with Plus, it plays all night. Keep the volume low and the phone away from the baby
• Your own sleep: rain, waves or a fire, with a timer that stops it gently if you like
• Focus: steady sound to soften the room while you study or work
SOUNDS
Rain, rain on a tin roof, morning drizzle, thunderstorm, heavy thunderstorm, evening thunderstorm, waves, winter sea, tropical island waves, gentle beach waves, waves on the Seto Inland Sea, stream, fireplace, campfire, night insects, night insects in Nagano, frog chorus, forest morning, and wind, plus white, pink, and brown noise. And sounds of home: a kitchen fan, an air conditioner, a washing machine, a hair dryer, and the womb.
The recordings are CC0 (public domain) field recordings shared on Freesound. Each sound shows its source, and the place and date when the recordist gave them. The kitchen fan, air conditioner, washing machine and hair dryer were generated with Adobe Firefly; the noises and the womb sound are generated by Kumofuton.

A new look.
Soft clouds by day, stars and a crescent moon at night. Sheets, buttons and sound icons are softer too, more like Kumofuton itself.
While a sound plays, the cloud mark and the sound's icon breathe slowly.
Plus stability improvements.
