BetterSleep (formerly known as Relax Melodies) is a highly popular sleep and wellness app designed to help users fall asleep faster, manage pre-sleep anxiety, and establish healthy bedtime routines. With over 65 million users, it focuses heavily on customizable audio environments and nighttime relaxation.
A breakdown of what the app offers, its core features, and its current pricing structure highlights its key capabilities: Core Features
Customizable Sound Mixer: This is BetterSleep’s signature feature. It allows you to layer and blend over 300 different sounds—including nature audio, ambient melodies, ASMR, mellow music, and varying frequencies like white, pink, green, and brown noise—at individually adjustable volumes.
Audio Content Library: Beyond raw sounds, the app features an expansive catalog of guided content. This includes narrated sleep stories (SleepTales), guided meditations, breathing exercises, and specialized audio like binaural beats and solfeggio frequencies.
Sleep Tracking & Recording: Utilizing your phone’s microphone and sensors, the app can record nighttime disturbances such as snoring or sleep talking. While its sleep stage analysis (tracking REM, deep, and light sleep) is a rough estimate rather than a highly accurate medical assessment, the audio recording feature provides insightful data.
SleepMoves: Guided physical winding-down routines featuring light bedtime stretches and exercises paired with audio cues to help release physical tension before getting into bed.
Smart Alarm: A specialized alarm designed to wake you up gently during your lightest sleep phase, making mornings feel less groggy. Pricing and Subscriptions (2026)
