Lilaven is a calm evening app built around Lilac Drifts — an interactive sleep ritual where soft scenes, gentle narration, and quiet gestures ease you toward rest. Also includes: audio sleep stories, 150+ calming music tracks, breathing exercises, and the Release Ritual (write what weighs on you, watch it burn away). Available on iOS and Android. English, German, Japanese.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Emrah — solo indie developer, cartoonist, and someone who spent years building apps before building the one I actually needed at 2am. Lilaven came from a simple frustration: every sleep app felt like another task to complete. Tap this, choose that, navigate here. But when you can't sleep, the last thing you need is more decisions. So I built something different. ✦ Lilac Drifts — our signature feature — is an interactive bedtime ritual where the scene darkens as the story unfolds. You can gently touch the screen to interact, or just let Auto Mode carry you. No game mechanics. No pressure. Just a shared descent into quiet. ✦ Release Ritual — write what's weighing on you, watch it burn away. Simple, private, oddly effective. ✦ 150+ calming tracks, audio sleep stories, flower breathing, gentle daily reminders. Available in English, German, and Japanese — built solo, shipped with a lot of late nights (and too much coffee). Would love to hear what you think. What's your biggest obstacle to winding down at night? 👇

What a calming concept — Lilac Drifts and the Release Ritual sound genuinely soothing. Beautiful design too. Congrats on the launch!

@zvonimir_sabljic1 Thank you so much — really appreciate it.

Lilac Drifts and the Release Ritual are the two parts I spent the most time refining. I wanted them to feel calm without becoming too passive: one helps the world slowly settle down with you, and the other gives your thoughts a softer place to go before sleep.

Glad that came through.
