Nod: Sleep Sounds & Alarm
By Micro App Digital
About this app
Nod is sleep sounds and a smart alarm with good manners. Around forty original soundscapes are generated on your phone, so every loop is seamless and nothing streams. Layer them into mixes that live as files you own, sleep with no microphone in the room, and wake to an alarm that fades in gently and never shows an advertisement before you turn it off. Nod plays sounds and rings bells — it does not diagnose, treat or measure anything.
Features
Forty Soundscapes, All Included
- Rain on a window, rain on a tin roof, ocean, creek, fireplace, fans, a distant train, crickets, the baby shush cluster.
- And the deep noise colours the whole category is built on: white, pink, brown and green.
Every Loop Is Seamless By Construction
- Each sound is generated on your phone rather than streamed or bundled, so the loop point is a mathematical continuation instead of a splice.
- You never hear the join — and it is checked by our build on every release, not promised in a listing.
Mix Your Perfect Night
- Layer up to four sounds, set each one's volume, and save it with a name.
- No limit on how many mixes you make, and no sound is held back.
Your Mixes Are Yours
- Every mix you save becomes a file on your phone. Export it, back it up, move it to a new phone.
- There is no server holding your mixes, so there is nothing for anyone to take back later. That is architecture, not a promise.
No Microphone. At All.
- The microphone permission does not exist in the app — not switched off, absent.
- Nod could not record your bedroom even if someone told it to, and the Privacy screen shows you the permission list so you can check.
An Alarm You Can Trust
- Nod asks your phone for exact-alarm rights and walks you through the one battery setting that matters on your device.
- Your wake-up sound fades in over one to ten minutes, and the snooze does exactly what you set — no tricks.
It Tells You The Truth In The Morning
- Nod checks every morning whether it rang when it said it would, and says so.
- If your phone ever stopped it overnight, it says that too, plainly, and offers to fix it. Silence after a failure is the one thing it won't do.
Built For A Dark Room, And Honest About Battery
- The night screen is true black with a dim clock, so it costs almost nothing on an OLED display and nothing flashes at 1am.
- The battery page publishes what all-night playback actually costs, measured — and it changes when it gets worse.
Works Completely Offline
- No account. Nothing to sign up for. Aeroplane mode changes nothing.
- A sleep timer fades out over the last minute rather than cutting, or plays right up to your alarm.
