Sleep To Pause

Fall asleep to a podcast, audiobook or music, and let your watch pause it for you.

SleepToPause gives your wrist a gentle buzz every few minutes. If you are awake, a small movement of your wrist tells it so. If you do not respond, it buzzes once more a minute later. Still no response? You have fallen asleep, and your audio is paused right where you stopped listening.

No more waking at 3am to find your audiobook three chapters ahead.

HOW IT WORKS
• Start a session on your watch when you get into bed.
• Your watch buzzes at the interval you choose, from 3 to 15 minutes.
• Move your wrist within 5 seconds to show you are awake.
• Miss two buzzes in a row and your audio is paused.
• Your place is kept, so you can pick up where you left off.

YOU ALSO NEED THE COMPANION APP
SleepToPause works together with the SleepToPause Companion app, which you install on the Android phone or tablet that plays your audio. The watch decides when you are asleep. The companion does the pausing.

Your watch and your phone or tablet must be on the same Wi-Fi network.

WHAT IS FREE AND WHAT IS PAID
This watch app is free. Pausing and resuming your audio by hand from your watch is free, always. Automatic pausing when you fall asleep needs a one-time purchase in the companion app. There is no subscription.

WORKS WITH YOUR AUDIO APPS
SleepToPause pauses apps that use standard Android media controls, the same controls you see on your lock screen. This covers most podcast, audiobook and music apps.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No heart rate. No health data. No body sensors.
• No account and no sign-up.
• Nothing is sent to the internet. Your watch talks only to your own phone or tablet, over your home Wi-Fi.
• The watch uses its movement sensor only to notice your wrist response.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Requires Wear OS 5 or later.
• The buzz still works in Bedtime mode and Do Not Disturb.
• SleepToPause is not a sleep tracker or a medical device. It does not record or analyse your sleep.
