Slowfall
Reading progress through one night

23:04

Your body gave up at eleven.Your brain didn’t.

The sleep app for racing thoughts, restless nights, and brains that get loud the moment the house goes quiet.

No login. No email. One tap to begin.

  • No account
  • Works offline
  • No ads or trackers
  • Nothing leaves your phone

23:41

Everyone else falls asleep like it’s nothing.

You do the right things. Phone down, lights off, lie still. Then the house goes quiet and your head gets loud, and the harder you try the more awake you get.

01:12

Forty sleep apps. None of them built for this.

01

Built for ADHD brains

Not a meditation app with a dark theme. Every sleep app tells you to clear your mind, which is the one instruction an ADHD brain cannot follow. Slowfall gives it something to do instead.

02

No streak to break

Miss a night and nothing resets. Momentum builds slowly and never punishes a night off, because broken streaks are the number one reason people quit sleep apps.

03

Nothing leaves your phone

No account, no email, no server holding your night pages. Dictation becomes text as you speak, and the audio is never recorded, saved or sent anywhere.

Willpower was never going to fix this. A brain that will not stop needs somewhere to put the noise, not another instruction to relax.

02:19

The technique is older than the app.

Cognitive shuffle comes from sleep-onset research by Dr Luc Beaudoin at Simon Fraser University. The idea is that a stream of unrelated images is incompatible with organised worrying, so the mind is given something to do that it cannot turn into a plan.

02:26

Somewhere to put it.

Night pages are your nightly brain dump. Say it out loud, or type it silently when someone is asleep beside you. A page opens on a question rather than a blank field, because nobody wants to compose an opening line at 2am.

  • Speak it or type it

  • Opens on a prompt, never blank

  • Stored on the device, nowhere else

02:34

Seven moods. Seven signatures.

Each field below is generated from its mood’s own spectral character, so what you see is the shape of what you hear. Combed tight for Focus. Wide, slow and nearly gone for Sleep.

03:00

It stops itself.

Choose fifteen minutes, an hour, or all night. The sound fades out and stops on its own, with the app closed and the phone locked. Nobody has to wake at four to turn it off.

The timer works from an absolute deadline rather than counting ticks, so a phone that slept through the night still stops the sound at the right moment.

The things people ask first.

No. There is no name, no email, no password and no profile. You open the app and use it. That is also why there is nothing to delete later: removing the app removes your data.

Yes. Playback survives navigation, backgrounding and a locked screen, with lock-screen controls. The sleep timer runs from an absolute deadline rather than counting ticks, so it stops when it said it would even if the phone slept in between.

Yes. Sounds stream the first time and cache to the device after that, so a night with no signal plays exactly the same.

Nothing. There is no streak to break. Everything you see counts nights attended, never nights unbroken.

No. Night pages, check-ins and onboarding answers stay on the device. Dictation is turned into text as you speak and only the finished text is kept. The audio is never recorded, saved or sent.

A guided wind-down that hands you a stream of unrelated images to hold, one after another. It comes from sleep-onset research by Dr Luc Beaudoin, and the point is that a mind busy imagining random things cannot simultaneously rehearse tomorrow.

Not yet. Slowfall is iPhone and iPad only for now.

No. Slowfall is not a medical device and is not a substitute for care from a clinician. It is a wind-down routine built around how ADHD brains actually behave at bedtime.

Wrote it down. Phone down. Actually slept.

No login. No email. One tap to begin.

Made for adults with ADHD and ADD, and anyone whose mind won’t switch off at bedtime: students, shift workers, night owls, parents, and everyone tired of being told to just relax.
