Sleep Timer
Overview
• Sleep Timer is a lightweight Android utility designed to help you fall asleep peacefully while listening to music, audiobooks, or podcasts.
• The tool automatically pauses playback so your device does not play media all night, conserving battery and mobile data.
• To prevent sudden silence from waking you up, the app features a smooth fade-out mechanism that gradually reduces the volume before stopping the track.
Key Features
• Gentle Audio Fade: Progressively lowers the sound level in the final moments for a seamless transition into sleep.
• Universal Playback Control: Works reliably with most major music players, podcast clients, and streaming services.
• Lightweight Footprint: Runs efficiently in the background without draining system resources.
How to Set Up and Use
• Add the Tile: Swipe down to access the Android Quick Settings panel, tap the edit button, and drag the Sleep Timer tile into your active tray.
• Start the Timer: Tap the tile once to immediately begin the countdown.
• Adjust on the Fly: Use the interactive notification controls to extend the duration, reduce remaining time, or cancel the timer instantly.
Important Usage Note
• No App Drawer Icon: To keep your device uncluttered, this utility does not create a standard launcher icon. It operates entirely through the Quick Settings panel.
Open Source Project
• Sleep Timer is free, transparent, and completely open source.
