InnerHour uses your iPhone's accelerometer and microphone to detect movement and sound patterns throughout the night. The app analyzes these signals to identify your sleep stages — light sleep, deep sleep, and REM — and presents detailed sleep insights each morning so you can understand and improve your rest over time.
InnerHour features a rich library of over 150 nature sounds including rain, ocean waves, thunderstorms, forest ambience, crackling fire, wind, birdsong, river streams, and more. You can also layer multiple sounds together to create a custom soundscape, and choose from white noise, pink noise, and brown noise for scientifically-backed sleep support.
Yes. InnerHour combines guided meditations, breathing exercises, sleep stories, and soothing nature sounds — all evidence-based techniques for managing insomnia. The sleep tracker also helps you identify patterns and habits that may be contributing to poor sleep, so you can make informed changes to your routine.
InnerHour's smart alarm monitors your sleep cycles and wakes you during your lightest sleep phase within a window you set — typically 15 to 30 minutes before your target wake time. Waking during light sleep helps you feel more alert and refreshed compared to being jolted awake during deep sleep.
Yes, InnerHour is free to download from the App Store. The app includes a generous selection of sounds, meditations, and tracking features at no cost. An optional subscription unlocks the full library of content including all nature soundscapes, premium sleep stories, advanced sleep analytics, and unlimited sound mixing.
Absolutely. InnerHour is designed to work beautifully with just your iPhone — no additional hardware required. Simply place your phone on your nightstand or mattress, and the app uses its built-in sensors to track your sleep. If you do have an Apple Watch, InnerHour can use its heart rate and motion data for even more detailed insights.
InnerHour uniquely combines a full-featured sleep tracker with a comprehensive sounds library, guided meditations, and sleep stories in one app. While Sleep Cycle focuses primarily on tracking and Pillow emphasizes Apple Watch integration, InnerHour delivers an all-in-one sleep improvement experience — from falling asleep to waking up refreshed.
Yes. Every sound and soundscape in InnerHour includes a customizable sleep timer. You can set sounds to fade out after 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or any custom duration. The timer uses a gentle fade-out so you are never startled awake when the audio stops.
