Sleep Timer

Fall asleep to music, podcasts, audiobooks or videos with Sleep Timer. Choose a duration, start your media, and let the timer fade the volume and send a pause command when time is up.

Compatibility and permissions

Sleep Timer uses Android media controls. Playback pausing depends on the player and device; not every app responds to pause commands. Casting to another device may continue playing. This app does not power off your phone.

Optional screen locking requires device administrator permission. On phones with aggressive battery management, allow background activity for Sleep Timer. Wi-Fi switching is available only on Android 9 and earlier; Bluetooth switching is available only on Android 11 and earlier. Settings includes help if a timer or player behaves unexpectedly.

Optional Premium

The free app contains ads. A one-time Premium purchase removes ads and unlocks the home screen widget and Quick Settings tile. Timer controls do not require watching a rewarded ad.
