Sleep app for iPhone and Android
Sorrel guides your last hour of the day, plays sounds that fade out on their own, wakes you at the lightest point in your sleep and gives you a short note each morning.

How a night works
01 Wind down
At the time you choose, Sorrel dims your screen, lists three small things to finish and leads a short breathing exercise. You can skip any step and it will not ask again that night.
02 Sleep sounds
Mix up to three sounds, such as rain, a low fan and distant sea. The mix gets quieter over the time you set and then stops, so nothing plays all night and nothing wakes you at 3 am.
03 Gentle alarm
Pick a window, for example 6:30 to 7:00. With your phone on the mattress, Sorrel follows your movement through the night and starts a soft alarm when your sleep is lightest. If it finds no light moment, it sounds at the end of the window.
04 Morning note
When you stop the alarm you see how long you slept, how often you woke and one plain sentence about the night. There is no score to chase. You can add a line of your own, and on Sundays you get a summary of the week.
What it measures
Sorrel reads your phone's motion sensor on the mattress. If you connect a watch, it adds heart rate. It never records audio.
Light, deep and REM sleep, worked out from movement and breathing.
How long you slept, and how long it took you to fall asleep.
How many times you woke, and for how long, shown on a simple timeline.
Your lowest rate overnight. Needs a connected watch.
Breaths per minute while you sleep, as a steady line, not a verdict.
A level for how loud the room was. Sorrel keeps the level, never the sound.

No. The microphone is used only to measure how loud the room is, and Sorrel keeps that level as a number. No sound is saved, and nothing is sent anywhere.
No. Sleep stages and the gentle alarm work from your phone's motion sensor while it lies on the mattress. A connected watch adds resting heart rate and makes the stages more exact.
iPhone with iOS 16 or later, and Android phones with Android 10 or later. One Sorrel Plus subscription covers both, if you use one of each.
In our tests, about 5 percent over eight hours with the screen off. Plugging the phone in is still the safest way to start the day with a full battery.
You keep the free plan and all of your history. Features that belong to Plus stop, and your sleep data stays on your phone. You can cancel at any time in your store settings.
No. Sorrel helps you keep a calmer routine and shows how you slept. It does not diagnose or treat any condition. If you often sleep badly or feel unwell, talk to a doctor.
