A podcast player for iPhone and iPad

Fall asleep.
The app stops by itself.

The only podcast app whose sleep timer arms itself automatically on every play, even when you restart in the middle of the night. Whatever happens, playback will switch itself off: never hours running into the void. Nothing to set, nothing to worry about.

The backbone of the app

A timer armed on every play

Other apps treat the sleep timer as an option, to re-enable every night. Here it is the heart of the app: you start an episode, you close your eyes, everything else is already set. 30 minutes by default, adjustable.

One glance at the progress bar: the orange band shows where playback will stop on its own, no matter what.

Automatic, for real

The countdown starts the moment the episode plays, including when you resume after an automatic stop. Playback can never run on for hours: it will switch itself off.

Gentle fades

A soft fade-in on start and resume, a fade-out before the silence: never a harsh cut, especially if you are already asleep.

A voice that reassures

Restarting playback after the timer stopped it? A soft voice confirms it: "Resuming with a 30-minute timer." The certainty that everything will switch off, without looking at the screen.

Next day, pick up where you were

Playback positions are remembered episode by episode. And when you resume after a stop, playback rewinds by an adjustable amount: find the exact spot where you drifted off.

Illustration: a person asleep under an orange crescent moon and a podcast microphone.

The timer also lives on the Lock Screen, the Dynamic Island, the Home Screen widget and StandBy: +15 min or Stop without unlocking your iPhone, dimmed at night so it never lights up the bedroom. You can fall asleep with your mind at ease.

Every night, a selection

“Tonight”: something to switch your brain off

Calm voices, nature sounds, soothing stories: an editorial selection of sleep-friendly podcasts, refreshed regularly, with, under each recommendation, why it helps you fall asleep. And the app follows your system settings: soothing dark mode at night, soft light mode by day, automatically.

A podcast page with the “Tonight's note” box: the editor's recommendation at the top of the page.
Plane, camping, abroad…

Your podcasts, with no network at all

Everything is designed for listening far from any connection, with a level of control over keeping and expiring downloaded episodes that you will not find anywhere else.

A podcast's download policy: automatic episode selection, filter by duration.
The Storage screen: downloaded episodes, iCloud archive, cache, duplicate cleanup.
  • Download episode by episode, or automatically per subscription: the latest 10, the last month… your choice, podcast by podcast
  • Retention rules per podcast and an episode duration filter: keep only what you will actually listen to
  • Purge by age with a preview of the space freed, duplicate episode cleanup: your iPhone's storage stays under control
  • Without a connection, the app steers you to your downloads: the "Up next" queue only chains episodes playable offline
  • Playback positions, played statuses and episode lists stay available: even in airplane mode
And everything else

Good night.
