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.
As a founder who often finds myself 'doomscrolling' or thinking about backend architecture at 2 AM, this is exactly what I need. The phone-free design is a brilliant move. How did you decide on which 'circadian light therapy' patterns to include?

@phatysddev Thank you for your question, Yodsavee! This is an important feature of the device.
We focused on the fundamentals and designed the device to mimic natural light patterns, which strongly influence our circadian rhythm and overall biology. By default, the device follows a sunrise and sunset protocol. The lighting has also been informed by research on the wavelengths most effective for morning wake-up simulation (brighter white light enriched with blue wavelengths) and evening wind-down (which favors warmer amber and red tones).

@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.

@lakshminath_dondeti I was like you and its hurt me as you grow older :).
Will the distraction app locking work if someone manually reinstalls a blocked app during bedtime hours?
Naptick AI
@andrew_paul11 we take into consideration all the capabilities provided by the OS.
currently if you re-install locked apps during bedtime, a user would be required to do one action on the app to allow locking the newly installed apps again. Post that the device automatically takes care of the locking for you.
I think the most interesting part of this device is that it operates phone free. The contradiction about other sleep tech is they are on your phone which means screen time before bed and right after waking up. Congrats Anubhab, Shilpi and team on shipping Naptick.

@himani_sah1 Thank you for your support, Himani! We had the same problem with currently availabe sleep tech and created Naptick with the principle of making our bedrooms phone-free and our sleep time distraction-free. If you do need something to interact with before falling asleep or right after waking up (to maybe check the time, log your thoughts etc.), our inbuilt voice assitant can fill in that gap!
Great work, @anubhab_goel1 Is the AI sleep coach more like a journaling prompt or a two way conversation?
Naptick AI
@barnaby_lloyd Thank you! It's primarily a two way conversation which can also act as a journal where you just share your thoughts before bed and similarly share your subjective sleep experience after you wake up.
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!
Naptick AI
@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.
Congrats on the launch @anubhab_goel1 ! Does it tells night stories? Can it be a companion for kids to fall asleep?
Naptick AI
@gsostak Thank you so much! And yes - bedtime stories and calming voice experiences are definitely a direction we’re excited about exploring.
We do think Naptick can become a comforting sleep companion for kids as well, especially through gentle soundscapes, calming interactions, and screen-free bedtime routines that help them wind down naturally.
