A better bedtime ritual

Press play. The rest should feel effortless.

A normal timer stops at a number. SleepCast responds to what happens before, during, and after you drift off.

  1. 01

    Press play

    Choose a duration or stop at the end of the episode. SleepCast takes over from there.

  2. 02

    Stay comfortable

    A gentle sleep check and motion detection can extend listening while you are still awake.

  3. 03

    Drift off softly

    Playback fades instead of cutting out. An optional soundscape can continue while motion is monitored.

  4. 04

    Resume with context

    When you press play again, SleepCast can announce the time and—on supported devices—recap what you missed.

Made for real podcast listeners

Powerful in all the ways that stay out of your way

SleepCast is a full podcast player shaped around one very specific moment: listening when you are ready to stop looking at a screen.

Sleep without babysitting a countdown

Motion-aware extensions, a gentle fade, optional soundscapes, and a bedtime window work together around your routine.
