What is Softly – Sleep & Relax Sounds?
I built Softly for myself — just open it, it plays, and turns off by morning. No ads, no sign-up, works offline, and plays well with other apps like YouTube. Free during launch week (until May 31). Hope it helps you sleep better too.
Problem
Users previously relied on sleep sound apps requiring manual shutdown, containing ads, sign-ups, and dependency on internet connectivity which disrupted sleep and usability.
Solution
A mobile app where users can play sleep sounds automatically turning off by morning, with no ads, sign-ups, or internet needed. Example: Open the app to start nature sounds that stop at dawn.
