SLEEP by Max Richter

Calm Music & Meditation Timer

View

Drift off, unwind, and find your focus with Sleep by Max Richter. The acclaimed composer’s 8.5 hour orchestral piece is designed to ease you in and out of sleep, and the app version comes with even more customization options, including modes for meditation and focus during the day.

What we love: Sleep does exactly what it says, with a few features added. Through a wonderfully minimalist interface, you can choose to start a Sleep, Meditate, or Focus session, and the app intelligently selects a suitable track from your music platform of choice. The Apple Watch companion app will measure your heart rate and select audio that matches its natural rhythm, helping you doze off naturally.

Listen to the soporific compositions of Max Richter while you rest.

Quick tip: The soothing audio is accompanied by calming images of the lunar rotation. As you complete more sessions, you’ll unlock more destinations. The app also comes with stats and a Journal feature that encourages you to chronicle your progress.

Meet the creator: In a world where we are constantly expected to be switched on, Richter’s 8.5 hour composition creates a space where we can slow down and relax. Richter describes it as “a personal lullaby for a frantic world” and “a manifesto for a slower pace of existence.”
