Frequently asked questions
Is Drowze really free?
Yes. The free tier includes 21 ambient sounds, a 3-track mixer, the sleep timer with fade-out, and 3 night light colors. No time limits, no ads, no account required. Premium unlocks all 53 sounds, 8-track mixing, Sleep Coach, 19 night light colors, sleep journeys, binaural beats, tinnitus relief, and custom timer durations.
Is Drowze good for babies?
Absolutely. Drowze includes a built-in "Baby Sleep" preset with white noise, light rain, and heartbeat. The night light is perfect for midnight feedings, and the sleep timer fades sounds out gently so you don't need to fumble with your device.
What is the Sleep Coach?
Drowze's Sleep Coach is a personal wind-down companion. Tell it how you're feeling, and it builds a custom sound mix, suggests breathing exercises, sets your timer, and adjusts your night light. The coach learns your preferences over time.
Can Drowze play sounds all night while my device is locked?
Yes. Drowze uses background audio so your sounds keep playing with the screen off and device locked. The loops are seamless with no gaps or pops, designed for uninterrupted all-night playback.
How is Drowze different from other sleep apps?
Drowze focuses purely on sleep sounds, mixing, and night light — plus a Sleep Coach that builds personalized wind-down routines. There are no meditation courses, no accounts, no tracking. The free tier is genuinely useful, not a crippled demo. You can mix up to 8 sounds at once — most competing apps limit you to one or two. And pricing is transparent: no free trials that secretly auto-renew.
Does Drowze collect my data?
No personal data whatsoever. No accounts, no login, no advertising trackers. We use TelemetryDeck for anonymous aggregate analytics (like total app launches), which doesn't collect identifiable information or track you across apps.
What if I want to cancel?
Go to Settings on your iPhone → tap your name → Subscriptions → find Drowze → Cancel. Or do it from within the app under Settings → Manage Subscription. Your premium access continues until the end of your current billing period. No hoops, no guilt trips.
Does it work with AirPods and Bluetooth speakers?
Yes. Drowze works with any audio output your iPhone supports, including AirPods, Bluetooth speakers, wired headphones, and CarPlay. Audio automatically reroutes when you connect or disconnect devices.

Brown Noise vs White Noise: Which Is Better for Sleep?

Why We Built Drowze: The Honest Sleep App
Most sleep apps charge $70/year. We charge $6.99/month — or $149.99 once, forever. Here's why we think sleep apps should respect your wallet, not just your bedtime.
Tinnitus Relief
How Notch Filtering Can Help Manage Tinnitus at Night
Drowze's tinnitus relief mode uses narrow-band notch filtering to mask the specific frequency of your tinnitus. Here's the science behind sound masking therapy and how to find your frequency.
