An Android app for sleep

Simply Sleep Sounds

No ads. No data collection. No analytics.

What's inside

Five colors of noise.

The same physical signals you'll find on Wikipedia — generated live on your phone, not streamed. Pick one. Tap play. Sleep.

white Bright and even. Masks chatter, traffic, hallway sounds.
pink Balanced — falls off gently with frequency. The most popular.
brown Deep, rumbling. Closest to surf, wind, rain on canvas.
blue Hissy. The bias of a TV channel cut to static. Useful for focus.
violet Sharpest. Sometimes used by people managing tinnitus.
The brief

Made for 3am.

Most sleep apps assume you're using them in daylight — settings screens, bright onboarding, login walls. We started over. This app is shaped around the actual moment of use: you can't sleep, you reach for your phone, you don't want to be blinded.

Dark by default

Near-black background, low-saturation accents. No white flash when you open it before bed.

Auto-fade screen

After 8 seconds of no input, the screen fades to black. Long-press to wake.

Glanceable countdown

"23 : 47 remaining" — the thing you actually want to know at 3am, not the duration you set.

Big touch targets

Operable half-asleep, one-handed, in the dark. One central play surface, chunky color rows.

No data, no analytics

No account. No network calls. No third-party SDKs. The app cannot tell whether you ever opened it — because it isn't looking.

Free and open source

MIT licensed. Read the code, fork it, build your own. The whole app is a few hundred lines of Kotlin.
