WaveSleep
One dial. Sound all night.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Connect Apple Health and your night draws itself — sleep stages in your theme's light, plus which mix sends you off fastest. New: a weekly Plus plan.
A sound machine, with the knob still on it. Thirteen sounds made for sleeping
through, and one dial you can turn in the dark.
ONE DIAL
The whole app runs from a single machined ring with haptic detents. Turn it
for volume, hold it for the timer, tap a layer to shape it. Big targets, warm
light, nothing to read — it is built for one thumb at 3am, not for browsing
at 9pm.
SOUND THAT DOESN'T WEAR OUT
White, pink, brown and green noise, a fan, an air conditioner and an airplane
cabin are generated in real time, sample by sample, for as long as you play
them. There is no file underneath, so they never settle into the short,
obvious loop you eventually can't un-hear.
THE NATURE IS RECORDED
Waves on rocks, ocean, gentle rain, night crickets, morning birds, a dawn
chorus — real field recordings, because nothing generated sounds like actual
water on actual rock. All mastered to the same loudness as the generators,
so a mix never lurches.
IT IS STILL PLAYING AT 4AM
Infinite playback is the default, not a setting you have to find. A stop
timer is there when you want one (30m through 8h, or your own), and it fades
out over 30 seconds instead of cutting. Playback survives calls, headphone
changes and AirPlay handoffs.
BUILD A MIX, THEN SHAPE IT
Stack up to four sounds. Tap any one to set its volume, tone and swell live
while the rest keep playing; hold it to solo it. Auditioning in the library
never disturbs the mix you already have.
RED LIGHT, ON PURPOSE
The interface is red-orange on true black because long-wavelength light is
the kind your eyes recover from fastest in the dark — the same reason classic
car dashboards glowed red. Three other themes ship free: Ember, Moonlight
and Forest.
A REAL ALARM, NOT A FADE-IN
Pick a wake sound and the time arms an alarm through AlarmKit. It rings
whether or not WaveSleep is running, breaks through silent mode and Focus,
and carries its own Stop and Snooze. Then the app crossfades the full sound
in over your sleep mix, at its own volume — an alarm at sleeping volume is
not an alarm. It relays to a paired Apple Watch.
A MORNING THAT TAKES TWO TAPS
Rate the night on a four-point scale and get on with your day. After a week
there is enough signal to name the mix you actually sleep best with, and the
card says so in one line — never as a score, never as a streak.
WHAT HEALTH MEASURED
Connect Apple Health and Insights gains the other half of the night: how
long you actually slept, drawn as sleep stages — REM, core, deep — in your
theme's own light. And because WaveSleep also knows what you were listening
to, it can say things no tracker can: which mix you drift off fastest with,
how much longer your well-rated nights actually run. Facts with enough
nights behind them — and no score, ever. Read-only, and none of it leaves
your device. Works with Apple Watch, Oura, Fitbit, Whoop — anything that
writes sleep to Apple Health.
EVERYWHERE YOU ALREADY ARE
Apple Watch app with Digital Crown control and complications. Lock Screen
and Home Screen widgets. Live Activity with the timer counting down. Siri
and Shortcuts. Lock Screen and Control Center transport. AirPlay.
WHAT'S FREE, PLAINLY
Free, and not a trial: all seven sound generators, Gentle Rain, the wake
alarm, the full timer, four-layer mixes, one saved mix, all four themes, and
the morning check-in. That is a whole sound machine, and it does not expire.
WaveSleep Plus adds every recorded sound, unlimited mixes, Insights with
Apple Health, a custom theme hue — and new sounds as they land.
$29.99/year · $4.99/month, and nothing else. Every price is visible before
you tap anything.
"Maybe later" is a real button, the same size as the one that takes money.
PRIVACY
No account. No sign-in. Everything works offline, and the audio is generated
on your device. We collect anonymous usage analytics and nothing that
identifies you.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
The night, in your theme's light.
• Insights now follows your theme end to end — the big numbers, the night
chart and the week dots all take the same colorway as your sleep stages.
• The last-30-nights chart is redrawn: one column per night, with your
median as a line straight through them. A short night shows itself.
• The morning check-in draws the night in dawn colors, right above where
you rate it.
• Plus now comes by the week, too. Three plans, one library: pick the
commitment that suits you.
• Fixed: the Apple Watch could show the wrong play/pause state after a
night of sleep, and a tap while the iPhone was out of reach flipped the
button without changing playback. The wrist tells the truth now.
