My iOS rain sounds app made such a splash on Reddit, I poured my heart and soul into it and went all in
Hi everyone,
A few months ago I shared my small rain sounds sleep app here and the response was honestly way better than I expected. People seemed to really like the sound mixer, and that gave me the motivation to keep working on it in my free time.
Since then I’ve basically turned it into the sleep app I always wished existed.
I wanted something that wasn’t just “press play on rain sounds”, but something that could also help me understand my sleep a bit better and make the whole wind-down routine nicer.
So over the last few months I added things like:
- A sound mixer where you can combine rain, birds, wind, etc
- Pre-made sound tracks if you don’t want to build your own mix
- Ambient rain videos for relaxing before bed
- Sleep insights that visualize your Apple Health sleep data
- On-device (offline) AI + articles for sleep information
- Sleep sound recording so you can hear things like snoring during the night
- A simple dream journal to keep notes about dreams or thoughts when you wake up
It’s still just me building this in my spare time, but it’s been really fun slowly shaping it into something bigger than the original idea.
If anyone wants to check it out or has feedback, I’d genuinely love to hear what you think.
