Good evening.

What are you bringing into the evening?

I keep replaying that conversation.

3:14 AM.

The thoughts that won’t let go.

“I should have just said no when they asked.”
Replaying the script
“Need to email David, pick up dry cleaning, prep for 10 AM.”
Planning tomorrow
“If this launch fails, they’re going to let me go.”
Worst-case rehearsal
“Wait, did I actually send that attachment to finance?”
The forgotten thread
“Why is my heart beating so fast? Everything is fine.”
Sudden anxiety
“If I fall asleep right now, I’ll get exactly 4 hours and 12 minutes.”
Meta-insomnia

The problem isn’t your bed. It isn’t your pillow. It isn’t even your sleep.

It’s that your mind still believes the day isn’t over.

Good evening.

What are you bringing into the evening?

A thought, a word, a feeling…

Step into the quiet

Open Tonight. The screen is dark, the interface is silent. Tap a mood, or type the loudest thought in your head.

Lily

You’ve been heard.

☾ Bedside

Be heard

The screen fades to a slow-breathing orb. A whisperer speaks to what you wrote, and walks your mind away from the day.

Intro

☾ Bedside

Sleep arrives

The audio auto-fades over 30 minutes. The screen locks. You are asleep before it finishes.

Designed to be the last app of your day.

Every other app is built to keep you using it as long as possible—that is what doomscrolling actually is, an interface succeeding at its goal. Tonight is built for the opposite. It is designed to be the last thing you open, to ask less of you every minute, and to be done with you. Read our stance on the attention economy.

Some nights need reassurance.
Some need absolute silence.
Some just need permission to stop.

Tonight listens to the sentiment of what you wrote — and shapes the night’s audio and timing around it. No complex settings. Just an experience that understands exactly where your head is at.

There’s decades of research behind that lighter feeling.

The Boundary

Your thoughts belong to you.

You just wrote down a real thought. A sleep tool only works if you trust it completely. Your unguarded moments shouldn’t be monetized.

  • Neveranalyzed by third parties
  • Neversold to advertisers
  • Neverused to train AI models
  • Goneby morning (unless you save them)

Keep it. Delete it. Or—if you want to—share it. Ownership means the choice is yours, and it is only ever yours.

A quiet space that belongs only to you.

Nights changed.

“I didn’t sleep faster. I just stopped carrying tomorrow into bed. That alone changed everything.”
MARK T. / CREATIVE DIRECTOR
“It feels like handing my anxiety to someone else to hold until morning. The relief is physical.”
ELENA S. / FOUNDER
“The first app that doesn’t feel like an app. It feels like a calm companion sitting with you in the dark until you finally drift off.”
DAVID R. / ENGINEER

Frequently asked

Will this cure my insomnia?

No. Tonight is not a medical treatment for clinical insomnia. It is a behavioral tool designed to help people who struggle with a racing mind, pre-sleep anxiety, and the inability to “switch off” after a long day.

Do I need to use it every night?

Many users find that building a consistent nightly ritual trains their brain to associate the app with sleep. However, you can use it only on nights when your mind feels particularly heavy or loud.

Do I need to wear headphones in bed?

No. While headphones provide a more immersive spatial audio experience, the soundscapes are mixed to be highly effective through your phone’s built-in speaker placed on a bedside table.

Who are the Whisperers?

They are AI voices — carefully curated and tuned, but synthetic. None of them is a real person, and their portraits are AI-generated too. They are designed to be a calming, non-judgmental presence in the middle of the night, and they respond to what you write without ever sounding robotic. No human ever hears it.

Are the photographs on this site real?

No. The photography here — the rooms, the skies, the ritual covers, the Whisperers’ portraits — is AI-generated. We make images this way rather than staging photo shoots of other people’s bedrooms at 3 a.m., but you should know what you are looking at.

What happens to what I write?

By default, your thoughts dissolve at your local sunrise — encrypted at rest until then, and gone by morning. If you want to look back, you can turn on Keep My Nights (off unless you choose it): that night stays replayable for a day, and your encrypted words are kept for 45 days. You can delete any of it, or all of it, whenever you like.

Is Tonight free?

Downloading Tonight is free, and it stays useful for free. You can create a complimentary personalized ritual every 30 days, and a selection of pre-made rituals and soundscapes is always open — there’s no pressure to move up. Premium lifts the wait and unlocks everything, starting with a free trial. Prices vary by country, so the exact amount is shown in the App Store or Google Play before you confirm. Either way it’s a simple subscription — we never monetize your data or show you ads when you’re trying to sleep.

Tonight will come.
