Mixer
Layer your own soundscape
Rain on a cabin roof with a crackling fireplace. A night train with rain on the window. Brown noise under a slow ambient pad. Mix up to 8 sounds, each at its own volume, and save your favourites.
Sleep sounds for iPhone and iPad
Sleep sounds that never loop.
Rain, ocean waves, a box fan, brown noise and 52 more sounds are made live on your iPhone, so there's no loop to notice at 3 a.m. and nothing to download. Mix them, set a timer that fades out slowly, and wake up to singing bowls instead of a siren. No account, no ads.

Your night, the way you like it
Pick a ready-made mix or build your own. Every sound is generated as it plays, so it can run all night without a seam.
Sleep timer
A timer that fades slowly
Choose 15 minutes to 8 hours. The sound drifts away over the last part of the time instead of stopping at once, and the countdown shows on the Lock Screen. Or let it play all night.
Alarm
Wake up gently
Singing bowls, birdsong, wind chimes or a slow sunrise. On iOS 26 Nod sets a real system alarm that rings in Silent mode and during Focus, with snooze. Sounds still playing fade away in the minute before.
Made for the night
Never loops
Generated, not recorded
Every drop, wave and gust is synthesized in real time, so nothing repeats and nothing clicks.
Private
No account, no tracking
Nod collects no data. Your mixes and settings stay on your iPhone.

Questions about Nod
Do the sounds loop?
No. Recorded sounds have to start over; Nod's sounds are generated as they play, from the physics of rain, waves, wind and fire, so they never repeat and never click.
Does it play all night with the screen locked?
Yes. Without a timer the sounds play until you stop them. With a timer they fade out slowly and stop.
Can I listen to a podcast at the same time?
Yes: turn on Play with other apps in Settings and your podcast or music plays over the sounds.
Will the alarm ring in Silent mode?
On iOS 26 and later, yes: Nod sets a real system alarm that rings in Silent mode and during Focus. On earlier iOS versions the alarm is a notification, which stays silent while the Ring/Silent switch is set to silent.
Is it OK for my baby?
Keep the volume low, place the phone as far from the crib as practical and use the sleep timer. Nod has shushing, womb and heartbeat sounds and a music box lullaby, but it doesn't replace safe-sleep practices or advice from your pediatrician.
Does Nod use the microphone or collect data?
No. Nod doesn't use the microphone, has no account, no ads and no analytics. Everything stays on your iPhone.
Is Nod free?
Yes. 22 sounds, mixes of 3, the timer, the alarm, every breathing exercise and the meditation timer are free with no time limit. Nod Premium adds 34 more sounds and more.
Is it a medical app?
No. Nod is for relaxation and bedtime routines. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition.
