Pick the voice that guides you: a calm narrator or a soft whisper. Preview it, switch mid-session, and unwind with rain and fire. No purchases, ads or sign-up.
Shizima is a sleep and meditation app where you choose the voice. On sleepless nights, drift off to a quiet whisper or a story read aloud. No purchases, no ads and no account. Open it and tap Begin.
■ Choose your voice
English sessions come in a calm voice or Shiori's soft whisper. Japanese sessions offer eight voices, including male voices and two whispers. Popular voices appear on the home screen and in You > Voice, each with a short sample. You can switch voices mid-session and carry on from the same spot. More voices are on the way.
■ Today's session
Chosen from the time of day and how you feel — sleep, calm, focus, or just because. Calm guides for the morning, the middle of the day, and the night. If you are partway through a course, the next day becomes today's session.
■ Before sleep
After the guide ends, rain, waves or a fire can keep playing softly. The sleep timer fades everything out slowly. In the Sleep tab, “Sound only” plays one sound you choose for 30 or 60 minutes, or until morning.
■ Focus
25, 50 or 90 minutes, with white, pink or brown noise, rain, a café, or a 40Hz tone. A small bell marks each block, and the sound drops during breaks.
■ Nap
Short naps of 10, 15, 20 or 25 minutes, with a 40Hz sound or rain. A wind chime wakes you gently near the end.
■ Breathing and a silent timer
Four breathing patterns guided by a waxing and waning moon. On wordless days, a silent timer with a wind-chime bell.
■ Sounds
Three noises, three 40Hz sounds, and rain, stream, fire, night insects, village night, waves, wind, café, night train, morning forest and evening cicadas — the same list everywhere in the app.
■ Moon calendar
Each day you sit, a small light appears on the lunar calendar. No streaks to keep.
■ When things feel hard
One tap starts a minute of quiet breathing.
■ Also
Widgets, a lock-screen countdown, Control Center, iCloud sync, optional Mindful Minutes in Apple Health. Switch the narration between English and Japanese while you listen (where both exist).
■ New sessions arrive with the seasons
New guides and courses are delivered without updating the app.
