Give your mind one steady sound

Play a soft, continuous rain-like sound here. It is generated in your browser, so there is no video, account, download, or bright player to open.

Audio starts only when you press play.

For timers, more sounds, and sleep stories, continue in the DreamTide app.

Not medical treatment—just a simple sound to make a wakeful moment feel quieter.
Everything for a calmer night

Built to be drifted off to

Set a timer, put the screen down, and let the sound soften when the session ends.

Guided meditations

Wind-downs, body scans, and breathing for the nights your mind won't slow down.

A growing library

A curated collection of stories, meditations, and soundscapes for calmer nights.

Bedtime for the kids
