Frequently asked questions
Is Drowse really free?
Yes. The free tier includes 21 ambient sounds, a 5-track mixer, the sleep timer with fade-out, and 3 night light colors. No time limits, no ads, no account required. Premium unlocks all 53 sounds, 8-track mixing, 20 night light colors, and custom timer durations.
Can Drowse play sounds all night while my phone is locked?
Yes. Drowse uses background audio so your sounds keep playing with the screen off and phone locked. The loops are seamless with no gaps or pops, designed for uninterrupted all-night playback.
How is Drowse different from Calm or Headspace?
Drowse focuses purely on sleep sounds, mixing, and night light. There are no meditation courses, no accounts, no tracking. The free tier is genuinely useful, not a crippled demo. You can mix up to 8 sounds at once — most competing apps limit you to one or two. And pricing is transparent: no free trials that secretly auto-renew.
Does Drowse collect my data?
No personal data whatsoever. No accounts, no login, no advertising trackers. We use TelemetryDeck for anonymous aggregate analytics (like total app launches), which doesn't collect identifiable information or track you across apps.
Is Drowse good for babies?
Absolutely. Drowse includes a built-in "Baby Sleep" preset with white noise, light rain, and heartbeat. The night light is perfect for midnight feedings, and the sleep timer fades sounds out gently so you don't need to fumble with your phone.
What if I want to cancel?
Go to Settings on your iPhone → tap your name → Subscriptions → find Drowse → Cancel. Or do it from within the app under Settings → Manage Subscription. Your premium access continues until the end of your current billing period. No hoops, no guilt trips.
Does it work with AirPods and Bluetooth speakers?
Yes. Drowse works with any audio output your iPhone supports, including AirPods, Bluetooth speakers, wired headphones, and CarPlay. Audio automatically reroutes when you connect or disconnect devices.
