Ease off the effort
A restrained UI, short paths, and no clutter—built for half-open eyes at night, not daytime browsing.
Features
Quiet, restrained, and actually usable at night.
Unrush is not a course library or a “fall asleep now” pitch. It offers 75 offline sleep sounds, mixing, and imports of your own audio—helping you settle when you’re tired, awake at 3 a.m., or stuck in mental overdrive.
Product philosophy
Many sleep apps push you to fall asleep faster. We care more about easing the pressure first. Resting with steady sound—without fighting sleep—is already recovery.
No subscription, no ads, no account
Open and play. No sign-up and no ads interrupting your night. Unlock every sound once instead of paying monthly.
Feature details
Each screen maps to a real bedtime action.
6 categories, 75 sounds
Spectrum noise (12), indoor (7), nature (10), bowls & resonance (15), insects & animals (16), and soft instruments (15). Switch categories from the sidebar; Home shows recommended mixes and recent sounds.
Mix up to 3 sounds
Rain + brown noise + fan, for example. Each track has its own volume, and you can save a mix to play again with one tap.
Auto-stop & Lock Screen controls
Playback, volume, and timer live on one screen. Set a duration and put the phone down—Lock Screen and Control Center keep working.
Bowls, instruments & nature
Beyond white noise: crystal and Tibetan bowls, guqin, handpan, plus rain, ocean waves, crickets, and a cat purr—something for every kind of night.
My Sounds (new in 1.4)
Import any audio you love—your own fan or rain recordings, or anything you’ve saved. Free forever, and it mixes with built-in sounds.
How to import
In My Sounds, tap Choose audio and pick from Files or iCloud Drive. Or open Voice Memos, select a recording, tap Share, then choose Unrush.
Formats & limits
m4a, mp3, wav, aac, caf, and aiff. Up to 60 minutes and 50 MB each, up to 20 sounds. Rename or delete them anytime.
Stays on your phone
Imported audio is copied into the app and kept on this device—never uploaded and not included in iCloud backups. Deleting it doesn’t touch the original file.
Free & one-time unlock
Listen first
Core sleep sounds are free all night; other tracks offer a 60-second preview each time. My Sounds is free forever.
Unlock everything once
No subscription. One purchase unlocks every built-in sound. On a new device or after reinstalling, tap Restore Purchases in Settings.
Design principles
Minimal
Fewer menus, fewer words—more room to breathe and settle.
Night-ready
Dark UI with soft contrast—readable with the lights off.
No overload
No feed, no social—just “what should I listen to tonight?”
AI & audio content
Some audio is generated or processed with AI assistance and curated for relaxation. Unrush is not a medical product and does not replace advice from a doctor, therapist, or other qualified professional. See the disclaimer and Privacy Policy.
FAQ highlights
Does it work offline?
Yes. Built-in audio ships with the app, so local playback works offline.
Do I need an account?
No. We don’t ask for your name, phone number, or email.
Are imported sounds uploaded?
No. Imported audio is copied into the app and stays on your device—never uploaded and not included in iCloud backups.
Why haven’t I fallen asleep yet?
The goal isn’t instant hypnosis—it’s easing tension so rest feels possible. Resting still counts.
