Volmem Sleep Timer & Alarm
Fall asleep to your book, music or rain sounds. They fade out once you're asleep.
Pick how long, tap Start and close your eyes. When the time is up, the sound slowly fades out and pauses, so your audiobook doesn't play all night and you don't lose your place. In the morning, an alarm can wake you through your earbuds, so no one else hears it.
For Android 10 and newer. Try it first, then unlock everything for $4.99, once. No ads, no subscription, and it isn't connected to the internet, so no data is collected.
How it works
Tap Start. Fall asleep. It turns itself off.
-
Quick timer.
Pick the minutes on the moon and tap Start. Whatever is playing fades out and pauses when the time is up.
-
Routines.
Save a timer, a sound and an alarm together, like "Weeknights" or "Nap". Start one with one tap, or let it start by itself when your book or music begins playing at bedtime.
-
On your home screen.
A widget starts a routine or the quick timer with one tap, and a Quick Settings tile starts the timer from anywhere.
Sounds & alarms
Everything for bedtime, in one app
Your own book or music.
Audible, Spotify or any app that plays. A Spotify song or playlist link works too, with shuffle and repeat.
11 calming nature sounds.
Ocean waves, thunderstorm, rain on a tin roof, crickets, a crackling fire and more, built in. Or a sound file from your phone.
Wake up in your earbuds.
Ring in your headphones only, so no one else hears it, or on your phone's speaker, or on a Bluetooth speaker you choose. It starts quiet and gets louder.
Stop or snooze from the lock screen.
Like any alarm clock: the screen wakes up with big Stop and Snooze buttons. It still rings if your phone restarted in the night.
A dim screen with the Orion Nebula.
When the timer starts, the screen dims to a slowly drifting photo of the Orion Nebula behind the time left. Tap once to see the time, twice for 15 more minutes. Prefer black? It can turn the screen off instead.
An alarm for a nap.
Pick "in 2 hours" instead of a clock time. It rings once, then turns itself off.
A volume for each app.
Where Volmem started: Audible quiet, Spotify louder, each remembered, and each Bluetooth device keeps its own. On the Volumes page.
No ads. No subscription.
Volmem will never include ads as long as I own it. Pay once, and updates are included forever.
What Volmem can and cannot do
- The sleep timer pauses most audio and video apps. A few video apps ignore the pause; turn on "Go to the Home screen when the timer ends" in Settings and they stop too. Otherwise Volmem keeps them silent until you pick up your phone.
- A music app alarm plays what that app played last. Android doesn't let one app choose a song inside another app at alarm time.
- Your phone has one media volume. Volmem sets it for the app you're using; it can't play two apps at different volumes at the same time.
- Light or dark, as you like, in Settings.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Will my audiobook lose its place?
No. Volmem pauses it, the same as pressing pause, so it picks up where you fell asleep.
Which apps does it work with?
Most apps that play audio or video: Audible, Spotify, YouTube, podcast apps and more. Volmem can also start your book or music for you when a routine starts.
Does the alarm ring if no headphones are in?
You choose, per alarm: ring on the phone instead, or stay quiet.
Will it drain the battery?
The sleep timer only runs while a timer is counting down (or during the bedtime hours you chose for Start by itself), then it stops. It doesn't read the screen, record audio or use the internet.
Why is there a notification?
Android requires one for anything that keeps working while you use other apps. The sleep timer's shows when it ends, with +15 min and Cancel.
Does anything leave my phone?
No. Volmem has no internet permission, so it can't send anything anywhere.
