A sleep app that ends. Eight weeks, then you stop paying.
Tidewell · an eight week programme, then it stops
Everything else in this category is built to keep you. This is built to discharge you, which is a worse business and a better product. There are no streaks, no badges, and no notification designed to bring you back.
Before anything else
If you snore heavily, stop breathing at night, or fall asleep during the day, see a doctor rather than downloading this. A sleep diary cannot see those and they are the ones that matter.
What this is not, first.
- Not therapy. It is a structured programme you run yourself.
- Not a medical device, and not registered as one.
- Not a treatment for a sleep disorder. If you snore heavily, stop breathing, or fall asleep in the daytime, see a doctor rather than downloading this.
- Not a subscription. Eight weeks, one price, and it stops.
- Not gamified. There are no streaks, no badges, and no notification designed to bring you back.
- Not funded by advertising, and none of your data is sold or shared.

Then it ends, and the payment ends with it.
Your data is not the product.
The app asks for the times you type in and nothing else. No location, no contacts, no microphone, no health data from your phone. Nothing is sold, nothing is shared, and there are no adverts — because there is a price instead.
