BabySleep

Made to be used with one hand at 3am. When you are holding a baby, you have one hand free. The screen needs to stay dark, the sound must not cut out, and once the baby is asleep it should go quiet on its own. This app was built around that one situation. ■ 17 sounds White noise: white noise, pink noise, brown noise Womb and soothing: heartbeat, womb sounds, shushing, amniotic fluid Everyday sounds: fan, rain, hair dryer, vacuum cleaner, stream, waves, airplane cabin Lullabies: music box, traditional lullaby, calm melody All of them loop seamlessly. There is no click or gap where a sound comes back around to the start. ■ Mix your own combination Layer a heartbeat over rain, or add womb sounds to a fan. Each sound has its own volume, and a mix you like can be named, saved, and brought back in one tap the next night. ■ Sleep timer that does not cut off Choose 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, or type your own from 1 to 480 minutes. When the time is up the sound does not stop abruptly. It fades down over 10 seconds to 2 minutes, and you pick the fade length in settings. That last moment is the part built so the silence does not wake the baby. ■ Night mode The screen goes fully black with only a dim clock left. The controls disappear on their own after a few seconds. With screen lock on, the sound keeps going even if the phone is pressed under your arm or dragged across a blanket. It takes a long press to unlock. You can also choose to keep the screen on. ■ Keeps playing with the screen off Pause and resume straight from the lock screen and the notification. The sound continues while you use another app, and after a phone call it comes back by itself. ■ Volume ceiling Even with the slider all the way up, the sound stays under the limit you set: 85% by default, and you can bring it down to 40%. It plays for hours near a baby's ears, so capping the top end is the safer setting. ■ One reminder a day A single quiet reminder at the time you choose, 11:00 by default. Change the time whenever you like, and turn the reminder itself off in your system notification settings. ■ Theme Follow the system setting, or pick light or dark yourself. ■ Premium (one time purchase) Not a subscription. Pay once and it stays. · All 17 sounds unlocked · Mix 5 sounds at once instead of 2 · Save unlimited mixes instead of 2 · No ads For free you get 9 sounds, 2 sounds mixed at once, and 2 saved mixes. ■ About the ads Ads appear only at the bottom of the home screen. No ad of any kind appears while sound is playing, or in night mode. This app is a tool for the parent settling a baby. It is not an app for the child to use.
