Can the circadian light automatically adjust to seasonal changes in sunset/sunrise times?


 Hey Xavier, great question! Circadian lighting is something we’re working toward in the long run.

Right now, during onboarding, you’ll be prompted to set up routines that work best for your lifestyle and sleep schedule. The device is designed to help maintain consistent sleep routines throughout the year.

In practice, this means you may still use some ambient lighting for activities after sunset and before bedtime. The wind-down routine typically begins 30 to 60 minutes before your planned bedtime, while the wake-up routine starts around 15 to 30 minutes before your desired wake-up time. Hope this helps!

What's the microphone policy — does Naptick listen continuously or only when physically activated?

 Hi Antonio, to protect your privacy, the microphone on Naptick is not always on listening mode. It only activates on double pressing the button on top of the device, after which you can interact with it. You're also able to turn off the microphone with a touchpoint on the back of the device.

When I read the tagline "AI sleep companion," I thought that it was some kind of toy that you can cuddle and sleep with. hahaha But yeah, I think I like the design of the device. It can just comfortably sit next to my bed.

 Hahaha :) The idea behind “AI sleep companion” is actually something you can speak with before sleeping - not cuddle/sleep with. Thanks for liking the design, as it's been our top priority.
A big part of Naptick’s philosophy is helping people avoid picking up their phones at night, since screens and endless scrolling have become major sleep distractors. We wanted to create a calmer, voice-first bedside experience that feels supportive without being intrusive.

The phone-free design is actually what got me — most sleep apps still need you on your phone which defeats the whole point. The fact that it actively adjusts light and sound based on room conditions instead of just playing white noise is pretty cool. Would love to know how the AI sleep coach personalises over time!

 That was exactly one of the biggest motivations behind Naptick. Most sleep apps still depend on the same device that’s often causing the distraction in the first place. We wanted to create a more ambient, phone-free experience that quietly works in the background instead of demanding more screen time.
And regarding the AI sleep coach - it personalises over time by learning your routines, preferred soundscapes, interaction patterns, and what actually helps you relax and fall asleep better. The experience gradually becomes more adaptive and tailored to you instead of staying one-size-fits-all.

Congrats, Does Naptick require a monthly subscription or are core features one time purchase?

 Thank you! Naptick’s core experience is designed to work with the one-time device purchase itself - including access to 1000+ adaptive soundscapes, room sensors, sleep routines, voice interactions, app lock feature and personalised relaxation experiences.

We will also offer an optional subscription for premium experiences, expanded AI capabilities, and advanced personalised content for users who want to go deeper.

Congrats, Anubhab! Does the AI sleep companion offer spoken responses, or is it mainly a listening experience?


 Hey Daniel! You can have a real conversation with it, not just use it as a passive listener. For example, users can prompt the device with, "How did I sleep last night?", "Help me calm down," "Are my room conditions good for sleep or a nap right now?" and expect spoken responses from the device.
It can respond back, guide routines, check the sleep environment, help you reflect, and support you without needing to pick up your phone. It also supports longer back and forth conversations.

Oh yeah! How many times in the evening I want to turn on relaxing music on my phone to fall asleep, but I find myself scrolling through my social media feed.

Your project protects me from such things.

 Yes exactly!
It starts with “I’ll just play something relaxing for 5 minutes” and suddenly you’re 47 reels deep at 1:13 AM.

A huge part of Naptick is creating that much-needed shift from phone → dedicated sleep device, so your brain stops associating bedtime with notifications, feeds, and endless scrolling. Just a calmer space to unwind, listen, breathe, and sleep.

This is absolutely amazing. How can I buy this? I’m in SF

  thank you, this genuinely made my morning. You can grab one at , and use code PHMAY at checkout for $25 off (Product Hunt only). You would land in our founding batch, the first 90 units shipping right now, with a direct line to us and the team through onboarding if needed.

Also, We are in SF . Happy to drop one off in person and walk you through setup if that is useful.

How long does the adaptive soundscapes playlist take to learn user preferences and adjust automatically?


 Naptick starts adapting from the very first few sessions, but the experience becomes noticeably more personalised over time as it learns your patterns, preferences, routines, and responses to different soundscapes.

The goal is for it to feel more responsive and intuitive over time - exactly like a sleep companion that evolves with you.

This actually looks really usefulllllllll 😭
My sleep schedule is so bad these days, so an AI companion that helps you sleep without scrolling or wihtout listening to music for hours on your phone sounds like a good idea.

 Thank you! We really appreciate the feedback. Naptick is designed to reduce doomscrolling and our reliance on phones at night. In many ways, it’s about taking our nights back from screens that have gradually taken over our bedtime routines.
Naptick helps you unwind naturally through adaptive soundscapes, sleep-supportive light signals, voice interactions, personalized sleep coaching, and AI-generated moodscapes, all without needing to stay on your screen.
