How Dusk works

Set it up once. Every evening after that, Dusk does the remembering.

Three steps, one time

  1. 9:41

    Good evening, Maya

    Wind down
    in 18 min

    Asleep by 23:30 · 7 h 30 before your alarm

    Start wind-down

    Step 01

    Tell Dusk when you want to be asleep

    Pick a bedtime and the time you need to be up. Dusk works back from there and plans the evening in between.

    • A countdown that starts when your evening does
    • Lights, phone and breathing, each at its own time
    • Change it any night; the plan moves with you

    Step 02

    Choose what helps you let go

    Slow breathing, a field recording, or both. Dusk learns which ones you come back to and offers them first.

    • Over 200 sounds that fade out once you're asleep
    • Guided breathing paced by a glow, not a voice
    • Nothing to set up; it just starts on time

    Step 03

    Put the phone down. Dusk does the rest

    Leave your phone face down by the bed. In the morning, a gentle alarm and a plain-words look at how the night went.

    • A smart alarm in a thirty-minute window
    • Your night in light, deep and dreaming sleep
    • A score you can understand at 7 a.m.

Why it works

Nothing clever. Just the things that help most people sleep, done every night without you having to remember.

  1. 22:00

    Light tells your body the time

    Dimmer, warmer light in the last hour helps the evening feel like evening.

  2. 22:30

    Routines make sleep easier

    The same few steps each night become a signal that bed is next.

  3. 23:15

    Quiet beats silence

    A steady, gentle sound covers the clicks and cars that pull you back up.

  4. 06:52

    Mornings matter too

    Waking at a light moment in your sleep makes the whole day start better.

Questions, before bed

Does Dusk need a wearable?

No. Your phone on the bedside table is all Dusk needs to chart your sleep. If you wear an Apple Watch, Dusk can use that too.

Is the sound in my bedroom recorded?

No. Sleep sounds are analysed on your phone as they happen and never stored or sent anywhere.

Will the smart alarm still wake me on time?

Yes. You choose the latest time you can get up; Dusk only ever wakes you earlier, never later.

Can I cancel Dusk Plus at any time?

Yes, from your phone's subscription settings. You keep Plus until the end of the period you paid for.

Does it work on Android?

Dusk is on iPhone today. Android is coming later this year; join the list to hear first.
