5 free stories to get started. Unlock the full library with ambient soundscapes, offline downloads, and morning ambience.

Sleep Yarns is an audio app for people who can't sleep.

Long, unhurried stories written to help you switch off - not to entertain, but to bore you gently to sleep.

STORIES DESIGNED FOR SLEEP Every story is written to be calming and deliberately uneventful. Slow descriptions of landscapes, methodical inventories, quiet journeys through the night. Nothing exciting happens. That's the point.

AMBIENCE Layer rain, a crackling fire, ocean waves, wind, or forest sounds beneath your story. Your volume preference is saved, so the app is ready the moment you open it.

MORNING AMBIENCE Set a morning window and birdsong fades in gradually - no alarms, no jarring sounds. It's an anti-alarm: a gentle transition that lets you wake on your own terms, at your own pace.

FADES OUT ON ITS OWN Set a duration - 30, 45, or 60 minutes - and the volume fades out gradually as your time winds down. No alarms. No abrupt stops. You won't need to reach for your phone.

OFFLINE LISTENING Download stories over Wi-Fi and listen without a connection.

BRING YOUR OWN AUDIO Have a boring podcast or lecture that puts you to sleep? Import it and run it through the same ambience and fade pipeline. Your audio stays on your device - never uploaded.

FREE TO TRY 5 stories are permanently free with no sign-up required. Subscribe to unlock the full library and new stories as they're added.
