Hear the sounds

Turn the lights down

Rain on the window.
Then, slowly, nothing.

Six sleep sounds, sampled straight from the app. Five are free, and Bubbling Stream comes with Premium. Tap one and listen for a moment.

Tap once to play, again to pause. The app has 82 sounds, from rain on a tin roof to loons on a lake.

A moon clock ringed by sound waves that shrink and fade to nothing, like the sleep timer

A sleep timer that never cuts off.

Set 15 or 30 minutes, put the phone face-down and close your eyes. When time is up, the sound eases out over about 30 seconds. No sudden silence to wake you, and nothing playing until morning. It keeps going with the screen locked, and needs no signal.

Timer ends30 seconds later

11:48 pm

The house is quiet.
Your mind isn't.

You replay the day. A car door slams outside. You pick up your phone to pass the time, and now you're wider awake than before.

  • A woman in her forties asleep on her side with a gentle smile, rain on the window behind her
    “My mind replays the whole day.”A slow story gives it somewhere softer to go.
  • A young man asleep in a city apartment, rainy city lights through the window
    “The street never really goes quiet.”Steady rain smooths over horns and neighbours.
  • An older woman in a satin sleep bonnet sitting up in bed at night, calmly holding her phone
    “Awake at 3:12. Again.”One sound, a short timer, and eyes closed.
  • A man asleep in the daytime after a night shift, curtains closed, scrubs folded on a chair
    “I sleep while the world is up.”Heavy Rain covers the daytime noise.
  • A woman sitting cross-legged on her bed with eyes closed and a hand on her chest, breathing slowly
    “My body's tired. My chest isn't.”Breathe along with a slow circle.
  • An older man lying back on his pillows with eyes closed and a contented smile
    “I want the same calm every night.”A bedtime reminder, and your favourite sound on top.

MoonEase gives the night something soft to hold. Then it lets go.

Bedtime stories for grown-ups

Stories where
nothing much happens.

A night train along a river. A bakery after closing. A bus climbing into the hills. Calm, original stories told at a slow, soft pace, with your sound playing quietly underneath if you like. Most nights, you won't hear the ending.

Caribbean Nights

The Last Bus to Christiana

42 stories of verandas, coves and hill roads, all narrated. In 22 of them, the characters speak in Jamaican voices.

An open storybook with a sleeping moon and stars rising from its pages

Make it yours

Mix your own night.
Or simply breathe.

A sound mixer with three sliders for rain, waves and fire, each at its own level

Rain under a fire, just how you like it.

With Premium, blend up to eight sounds, give each its own volume and save the mix for tomorrow night. Or start from a ready-made one, like Rainy Cabin.

Breathe along with the circle.

In for four, hold, out for four, hold. Spoken cues and a soft buzz let you follow with your eyes closed. Box breathing is free, and this circle keeps the same count.

Enough for a long run
of quiet nights.

Questions

Sleep app questions, answered

Is MoonEase free?

Yes. 9 sleep sounds, 12 bedtime stories, the 15 and 30 minute timers, box breathing, progress, the bedtime reminder and the home screen widget are free, with no ads. Premium is $9.99 a month or $49.99 a year.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The free sounds, the stories and their narration are built in. Premium sounds download once, then play without a connection.

Will it keep playing with the screen off?

Yes. Sleep sounds keep playing with the screen locked until your timer fades them out.

How does the sleep timer work?

Pick 15 or 30 minutes free, or up to 8 hours with Premium. When time is up, the sound fades out over about 30 seconds instead of stopping suddenly. With no timer, the sound plays until you stop it.

What sounds help you fall asleep?

Many people like a steady sound such as rain, a stream or a soft city hum, because it smooths over sudden noises. MoonEase has 82, from Heavy Rain and Rain on a Tin Roof to crackling campfires and loons on a lake. Star your favourites and they sit at the top, and the home screen suggests a sound and timer for tonight.

Can I play two sounds at once?

With Premium, yes. You can blend up to eight sounds, set the volume of each and save up to 20 mixes, or start from six ready-made ones such as Rainy Cabin and Lake Fire. The free plan plays one sound at a time.

Are there bedtime stories for adults?

Yes. MoonEase has 200 calm, original stories for grown-ups where nothing much happens, in 16 collections such as Quiet Journeys and Houses of Light. Start a sound first and it plays softly under the story. 12 stories are free. Premium opens all of them.

Are there Caribbean bedtime stories?

Yes. The Caribbean Nights collection has 42 stories set on verandas, in coves and along hill roads in Jamaica and around the Caribbean. All 42 have full narration, and in 22 the characters speak in Jamaican voices. Three are free.

Who reads the stories?

109 of the grown-up stories have full narration, made with voice software, and some have a different voice for each character. The rest are read aloud by your phone with its own voice.

Do you track my sleep?

No. MoonEase keeps a simple record of the nights and minutes you used it, not your sleep, and it stays on this phone unless you turn on the optional encrypted account save. You can also keep your own backup file. No ads, and an account is optional.

Can I use MoonEase on my computer?

MoonEase also comes as a desktop version for your computer. It runs in your web browser, with nothing to install. Tap "Use it on your computer" at the top of this page.

How do I cancel Premium?

Any time, in the subscriptions page of the App Store or Google Play. Your free sounds and stories stay.
