About this app
Counting sheep doesn't work. It's repetitive enough to be boring, but not disordered enough to stop your mind wandering back to whatever's actually keeping you awake.
Nyxlo is built around a different technique: the cognitive shuffle. Instead of counting or following a guided story, you simply listen to a slow, unpredictable stream of calm, unrelated words — a stone, a kettle, a comet, a shoreline. Each one different enough that your brain can't stitch them into a plot, and gentle enough that none of them can hook your attention. That's the whole mechanism — just enough mental activity to crowd out racing thoughts, without enough coherence to keep you engaged.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• 848 words across 20 categories — nature, animals, the night sky, textures, music, and more
• 4 natural voices — US and UK, female and male
• Adjustable pacing, including a gap that gradually widens as your session goes on, easing off rather than reading at one fixed speed all night
• Soft, textureless ambient sound beds you can layer underneath — or run entirely on their own, with no words at all
• Keeps playing through a locked screen, so you can put your phone face-down and forget it's there
FREE TO START
Free gives you 36 words, one voice, and one ambient sound — full pacing controls included, so you get a genuine feel for how Nyxlo works, not a crippled demo. Nyxlo Premium opens up the rest: the full 848-word library, all 4 voices, and all 4 ambient sounds, with new word packs added periodically.
WHO IT'S FOR
Anyone whose mind won't switch off at bedtime — racing thoughts, mental replay of the day, or just the general restlessness of lying awake waiting for sleep to arrive. Nyxlo gives your attention somewhere quiet to go instead.
No account required. No ads. No data collected beyond what stays on your device.
