Sleep
Calming stories and nature soundscapes, a fade-out timer, and a player that shows remaining time so you are not hunting for the stop button.

Sleep sounds, calm, and breathing in one dark, quiet player. Short sessions for the end of the day, and for the middle of a noisy one.
Deep Rest is a wind-down app. It is not a sleep tracker that scores your night and then lectures you about it. You press play on a sleep story, a nature soundscape, a guided meditation, or a breathing pattern, and the screen stays out of the way.
Training and calorie targets both fall apart when sleep is short. This app is the third piece: a repeatable way to close the day, with the audio stored on the phone so it still works when the bedroom has poor signal.
Calming stories and nature soundscapes, a fade-out timer, and a player that shows remaining time so you are not hunting for the stop button.
Guided sessions marked beginner, intermediate, and advanced, plus short calm options for days when you only have a few minutes.
Box breathing, 4-7-8, and coherent breathing, with a visual cue and a timer. Useful before bed, or as a reset between meetings.
Stack one to three sessions into a bedtime routine, set a reminder, and let a local notification prompt you at the same time each night.
The progress view is deliberately plain: your current streak, total meditation minutes, how many sleep sessions you have played, and a seven-day chart. There is no public feed. The look is deep navy and soft purple, with large type, because a bright white screen is the opposite of what you want at 10:30pm.
Audio is bundled in the app, which is why the download is larger — about 113.7 MB — and why playback does not depend on streaming. Version 1.3 is the current release. The UK store rating is 5.0 from 1 rating. The app needs iOS 17 or later and is in English. The developer reports that Deep Rest does not collect data.
A wind-down app can make it easier to keep a regular bedtime. It does not treat insomnia, sleep apnoea, or anxiety. If you are awake for long stretches most nights, or you are exhausted despite time in bed, that is a conversation for a GP, not another soundscape.
Deep Rest is free to download, with Premium as an in-app purchase. On the UK App Store the listed options are a weekly plan at £4.99 and a yearly plan at £39.99. Prices change, and Apple handles the charge and the renewal. Cancel in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions at least 24 hours before the period ends.
