Driftwell
Sleep tracking with a wind-down routine built in.
About Driftwell
Driftwell tracks sleep from a phone on the mattress or a watch on your wrist, then reports time asleep and time in each stage the next morning. The evening half of the app matters more. A wind-down routine dims the screen, plays a soundscape and walks you through a short breathing exercise.
Reports are plain. You get last night, the week and a trend, without a sleep score that scolds you.
What it does
Stage tracking
Shows deep, light and REM sleep through the night, with the times you were awake.
Wind-down routine
Starts at a time you set and runs three steps in order: dim, breathe, listen.
Soundscapes
42 field recordings, from rain on a tin roof to a night train. Each fades out once you are asleep.
Smart alarm
Wakes you during light sleep in the 30 minutes before your limit.
New in version 5.0
