New music every night
A new sleep, focus and breathing track each evening, free for everyone on its first night.
Sleep sounds you can mix
Rain, thunder, ocean, stream, wind, fireplace, crickets, fan and white, pink or brown noise, made live on your phone.
Sleep timer and lock screen
Plays with the screen off, then stops by itself with a gentle fade.
Focus and breathe
A focus timer with breaks, four breathing exercises and a meditation timer with bowls.
Calm, and private
Hushwave has no account. Your favorites and settings stay on your phone. The music streams from this website; the nature sounds are made on your phone. The free version shows small banner ads from Google AdMob on the browsing screens, never on the player or during a breathing or meditation session. Premium is billed by Google Play.

Questions
Is Hushwave free?
Yes. Tonight's new music, two tracks in each mode, every nature sound (two at a time), the breathing exercises and all the timers are free, with small banner ads on the browsing screens. Hushwave Premium unlocks every track, saving music for offline, mixing up to six sounds, and removes the ads. It costs $1.99 a month or $14.99 a year with 7 days free in the US; Google Play shows the price in your country.
How long are the tracks?
Each track is a long, seamless piece of about 30 minutes, so the music doesn't stop just as you drift off. With the sleep timer, it fades out by itself when you choose.
How does "new music every night" work?
Each evening a new track arrives for Sleep, Focus and Breathe. On its first night it is free for everyone, Premium or not.
Does Hushwave work offline?
The nature sounds (rain, thunder, ocean, stream, wind, fireplace, night, fan, and white, pink and brown noise) are made live on your phone and work without internet. The music streams; tracks you have played are kept on the phone for a while, and Premium can save tracks to play offline.
Will it keep playing with the screen off?
Yes. Hushwave keeps playing with the screen off or another app open, with controls on the lock screen. The sleep timer stops it for you and fades the sound out over the last minute.
Where does the music come from?
Our team makes it with Google's AI music tools, and we listen to every track before it goes in the app.
Which phones and languages?
Android 8.0 or newer. English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Hindi, Arabic and Indonesian.
