Lull: Audiobooks & Podcasts

Lull's sleep timer doesn't just stop your audio. It starts your sleep sounds. Press play on an audiobook or podcast, set the timer, and when it ends your story gently gives way to soothing sleep sounds that play through the whole night. Still awake? Press play on your headset, or shake your phone, and your audio comes back with a fresh timer. Eyes closed, screen off, never touching the phone.
That's the whole idea: one app that carries you from listening to sleep, instead of cutting off and leaving you awake in silence. A bedtime listening system, not just a player with a timer.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Press play on an audiobook or podcast and set a sleep timer.
2. When it ends, your audio fades down and your sleep sounds begin. No jarring stop, no silence.
3. Still awake? Tap your headset button or shake the phone, eyes closed, and your audio returns with the timer set again, on its own. The loop repeats until you're asleep.
4. The moment you drift off, your spot is saved. The sleep sounds play on through the night, and in the morning you're right where you dozed off.
Most apps just cut the audio when the timer ends. Lull hands you off to sleep sounds, built for people who fall asleep gradually, not all at once.
NEVER LOSE YOUR PLACE
Your book or podcast pauses at the exact second you fall asleep while the sleep sounds play on. Come back tomorrow and pick up right where you left off, down to the word.
SLEEP SOUNDS, WITH OR WITHOUT A BOOK
Mix your own from over 20 sounds: ocean, rain, a babbling brook, waterfall, fireplace, fan, air conditioner, birdsong, crickets, frogs, owls, a cat purr, cafe, train, heartbeat, womb sounds, a singing bowl, brown/pink/white/green noise, and more, plus optional relaxation tones. Save your blends as named mixes, start from a preset, and tune them to your ears with calibration. Use them as the handoff after your story, or open Sleep Sounds on its own as a full sound machine, no book required.
