Newsleep home screen: the Rain lamp, a pause ring in the middle, the word Rain, and pills reading 3 layers, Sleep and the timer
03:40

The rain never starts over.

Every recording crossfades into itself over up to thirty seconds, at equal power. No click, no gap, no restart to hear.

The Layers sheet over the Rain lamp: Rain on the window, Dripping gutter and Soft rain in the mix, each with a level from far to forward
02:14

A text won't stop it.

Calls and messages interrupt every sound app. Newsleep fades back in by itself and keeps count.

The Thunder lamp playing: distant rumbles under heavy rain, the pause ring, and the timer pill
Until you stop it

All night is the default.

Or stop at your own sunrise, with a sixty-second fade so the silence never wakes you.

The How long sheet: 15 minutes to 2 hours, stop at sunrise, or until you stop it, with a fade length from 9 seconds to 5 minutes
Your own mix

Four sounds, one night.

Rain on the window, a gutter behind it, soft rain far away. Set each one with a word, not a decibel.

Every soundscape opens with a mix that already works. Yours is saved the moment you change it.

The book of soundscapes

18 soundscapes. 161 recordings.

Rain, thunder, ocean, tropical, water, wind, forest, night, fire, noise, fans, winter, fields, city, home, soft, drone, tones.

The soundscape index: rows for Rain, Thunder, Ocean, Tropical, Water, Wind, Forest, Night, Fire, Noise, Fan and Machines, Winter, Fields, City and Home, each with a lamp disc, one line, and how many sounds it holds
Shape it to your ear

Warmer. Softer. Slower.

Bass, brightness, a slow swell, and ringing relief for the pitch you hear at night. In plain words, not dB.

The Filter sheet: the Sleep preset with bass a little more, brightness very muffled, a swell every 12 seconds, and ringing relief off
Nothing to learn at three in the morning

Tap the light. That's the whole app.

One ring to play and pause. The soundscape's name. Swipe for the next one.

The Noise lamp paused, with the play ring in the middle and the word Noise

02:40

The sound has stopped.

You know this moment. It hit the hour cap. A text came in and killed it. The loop clicked and started again from the top. An ad began playing into the dark. Now you are awake, reaching for the phone, three menus from where you were.

If it switches off, that in itself wakes you. Newsleep exists to refuse that one moment.

Rain sounds for sleeping that play all night

Most sleep sound apps stop at an hour, or eight, or whenever the free tier says so. In Newsleep, all night is the default. Nothing that keeps the sound playing is ever capped, and when you do want it to stop, it fades over a minute instead of cutting off. Rain on the window, rain on a tin roof, rain on a tent, a dripping gutter: ten rain recordings, and the one you fell asleep to is still there at six.

Sleep sounds that do not loop with a seam

The click at the end of a short loop is the second most common reason a sleep sound wakes you. Every recording in Newsleep is one to two and a half minutes long and crossfades into itself over ten to thirty seconds at equal power, so the level never dips and there is no join to hear. All 161 files were checked at the seam before they went in.

A sleep sounds app without a subscription

Sixty dollars a year for rain is the most common one-star review in this category, and we agree with it. Newsleep is one payment. Every night gives you fifteen free minutes with every soundscape, every layer and every control first, so you hear the whole thing before you decide.

Mix your own white noise, rain and fan sounds

Some nights need rain alone. Some need rain with a fan under it and thunder far away. Newsleep lets you stack up to four sounds from anywhere in the bank and set each one with a word, from far to forward. Brown noise, pink noise, a box fan, an air conditioner, an airplane cabin, a night train: they are all here, and they all sit under the rain if you want them to.

Sound for the ringing at night

If you live with tinnitus you already know the rule: set it just below the ringing, never over it. Rain, moving water and the noise colours sit where the ringing usually lives, and Ringing relief quietens one narrow pitch you choose yourself. Newsleep is sound enrichment, not treatment. A speaker is kinder than earbuds.

Why not a ten-hour video

Because at two in the morning the video plays an ad, the screen has to stay on and the data runs all night. Every recording in Newsleep ships inside the app. Nothing streams, nothing buffers, and it plays in flight mode, on the nightstand speaker, with the screen off.

Is sound all night safe

Loud sound for long periods can harm hearing, whatever the source. Keep it quiet: just below the ringing, or just over the room. Newsleep treats nothing, and it says so.

Quick answers.

Will it stop after an hour?

No. All night is the default. If you want it to stop, set a timer of 15 minutes to 2 hours or stop at your own sunrise, and it fades out over a minute instead of cutting off.

Does the rain loop? Will I hear it start over?

Every recording is one to two and a half minutes long and crossfades into itself over ten to thirty seconds, at equal power, so the level never dips and there is no click, no gap and no restart to hear. Every one of the 161 files was checked at its seam.

What happens when a text or a call comes in?

The sound pauses for the call, then fades back in by itself when it ends. A small note says so and the night line keeps count.

Can I mix my own sounds?

Yes. Up to four sounds from anywhere in the bank at once, each set with a word, from far to forward. Every soundscape starts with a mix that already works, and your own mix is saved per soundscape.

Does it need the internet?

No. Every recording ships inside the app. Nothing streams, nothing buffers, and it plays in flight mode.

Does it keep playing with the screen locked?

Yes. Lock the phone and put it on the nightstand. Play, pause and the next soundscape are on the lock screen and in Control Centre.

Is it a subscription?

No. One payment of $9.99, forever. No trial that turns into a charge, no “per month”, no renewal. Restore it on any iPhone.

I have tinnitus. Will this help?

Newsleep is sound enrichment, not treatment. Rain, water and the noise colours sit where the ringing usually lives, and Ringing relief quietens one narrow pitch so you can slide it until your own tone feels covered. Keep the level just below the ringing. If the ringing is new or changing, see an audiologist.

Is sound all night safe for my hearing?

Loud sound for long periods can harm hearing, whatever the source. Keep Newsleep quiet, below your ringing or just over the room. A speaker on the nightstand is kinder than earbuds for eight hours.

Do I need an account?

No. No email, no login, no survey at bedtime. Your mixes and settings live on your phone. Delete the app and everything is gone.

Which phones does it run on?

iPhone with iOS 17 or later. It plays to whatever your iPhone can play to: the built-in speaker, a Bluetooth or AirPlay speaker, or earbuds. No iPad or Android version.
