Naptick AI - Al sleep companion that helps fall asleep without struggle

by
Naptick is a smart bedside AI sleep companion designed for founders, professionals, light sleepers, and anyone struggling with nighttime stress or doomscrolling. It combines circadian light therapy, 1000+ adaptive soundscapes, room condition intelligence, app-locking, and an on-device AI sleep coach to help users fall asleep faster and wake up refreshed. Unlike passive sleep trackers, Naptick is built phone-free by design and actively helps improve sleep before the night begins.

Interesting! There’s a device price plus subscription? Are there line of sight or proximity requirements? Congratulations on the launch.

@lakshminath_dondeti Thank you! Yes — the core experience is available with the device purchase itself, while the subscription is meant for optional premium experiences, deeper AI personalization, and expanded content over time. While there are no strict line-of-sight requirements, for the best experience we recommend placing Naptick within about 2 feet, or roughly arm’s length, from the head of your bed and around eye level for optimal light signals.

@shilpi_goel thanks. For someone like me, it won’t work. I’m not disciplined during my sleep. 😭

@lakshminath_dondeti I was like you and its hurt me as you grow older :).

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


Swathy Karamchedu

@xavier_hernandez2 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?

Swathy Karamchedu

@antonio_manuel1 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.

Shilpi Goel

@ragsyme 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!

Shilpi Goel

@ananya_pesala 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.

Love that this focuses on improving sleep before bedtime instead of only analyzing sleep afterward.

Aman Malhotra

@isaac_warren yes the idea with every wearable in the market right now is that they do the postmortem of your sleep. we on the other hand ensure you make it better before and while its happening.

Olivia Bennett

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

Shilpi Goel

@olivia_bennett7 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.

Daniel Harris

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


Swathy Karamchedu

@daniel_harris11 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.
Shilpi Goel

@maria_anosova 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.

Raghav Goyal

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

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.
