BetterSleep review

BetterSleep, formerly Relax Melodies, is the app to pick if you want control over what you hear. Its mixer draws on more than 300 sounds and music tracks, from rain and white noise to binaural beats, isochronic tones and 3D sounds, and a Smart Mix feature hides the point where a loop restarts. On top of the mixer sit more than 250 meditations and hypnosis sessions, with themes such as the military method, tinnitus relief and Yoga Nidra, and more than 100 SleepTales across fairy tales, mystery and history. A sleep tracker and recorder note when you snore, move or talk in your sleep, and the app suggests changes based on your nights. Bedtime reminders and timers round it out. BetterSleep moved from a free tier to a subscription in 2025, so new users get a trial and then need to pay. Its help center lists monthly, yearly and lifetime plans but no fixed US price, so check the app before buying.
