Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the creator of Sleep Island. I built this app because I had a very specific bedtime problem that existing sleep apps couldn't solve. I've always needed background sound (rain, waves, or wind) to fall asleep. But I hated standard sleep timers. If I set a 30-minute timer and was still awake, the sudden silence immediately jolted me back to full alertness. If I let the sound play all night, my ears felt tired and my battery drained. What I wanted was simple: the sound should stay with me while I’m awake, but slowly and imperceptibly fade out only after I fall asleep. And most importantly, I wanted to track my sleep without having to wear a smartwatch to bed every night. So, I decided to learn Swift and build it. Sleep Island tracks sleep watch-free using your phone's motion sensors placed on the mattress, and triggers a slow, 5-minute volume fade-out when it detects you're asleep. (Though it also syncs seamlessly with Apple Watch & HealthKit if you prefer wearing one!) After launch, my first App Store review was a brutal 1-star complaining that there was no snoring tracker. I took that feedback to heart and built a local, battery-friendly, threshold-triggered recorder for snoring and sleep talk. Sleep Island is completely free on iOS with no ads. I built it for my own nights, but I hope it helps anyone else looking for a calmer bedtime. I would love to get your feedback on the sleep-detection threshold and what sounds you'd like to see added next! Happy sleeping! 🌧️💤
