Drift plays 19 hand-picked sounds — rain, thunder, white noise, ocean waves, and more — right from your phone. No internet. No subscription. Set a fade-out timer and drift off.
All sounds bundled. No streaming. Works in aeroplane mode.
Most sleep apps stream sounds from a server, require an account, and track your listening habits. Calm costs £49.99/year. We built an app where everything is on your phone and you pay once, forever.

Three core features. One payment unlocks everything — no subscription, no add-ons. Just a beautifully made sleep tool that does one thing well.
19 carefully selected sounds — heavy rain, distant thunder, ocean waves, white noise, brown noise, fan hum, forest night, and more. All bundled at download. No streaming ever.
Layer up to 3 sounds at once, adjust each volume independently, and save your perfect mix as a scene. One tap to resume your favourite combination.
Set a timer from 15 minutes to 2 hours. Drift gradually fades out all sounds over the final few minutes so you fall asleep naturally — not to an abrupt silence.
Finally a white noise app that doesn’t need internet or a subscription. Just opens and plays.
The fade-out timer is the feature I never knew I needed. I’m asleep before the rain stops.
Paid once six months ago. Use it every single night. Best sleep purchase I’ve ever made.
One-time purchase after a 7-day free trial. No monthly fee, ever.
Includes a 7-day free trial — no card needed. After it, 3 sounds and the sleep timer stay free. Price may vary by region. One-time purchase — no subscription, ever.
No. All 19 sounds are bundled with the app at download. Nothing is streamed. Drift works completely offline — in aeroplane mode, underground, anywhere.
Yes. Tap any sound to add it to the mix. You can layer up to 3 sounds at once and adjust the volume of each one independently, then save the mix as a named scene and resume it with one tap. Mixing and scenes are included in the free trial and the one-time unlock; the free plan plays one sound at a time.
Set a duration (15 minutes to 2 hours). When the timer nears the end, Drift gradually reduces the volume over the final few minutes until the sounds fade out completely. No sudden stop.
Yes. Drift includes a nightly bedtime reminder. Set a time and you’ll get a gentle notification each night prompting you to open the app and start your sleep sounds. Local notification only, no internet required.
Delete the app. Your saved scenes and settings are stored only on your device, with no cloud copy, so deleting the app removes them permanently. On iPhone, the date your free trial started is kept in the device Keychain so a reinstall doesn’t restart the trial.
