Music for every mood · Sleep
Sleep music that drifts down with you.
Not a playlist that starts soft — a route that gets there, and keeps going with the screen off.
What MeloTune plays for sleep
Sleep music lives in the lowest corner of the mood map: very low energy, low-to-neutral emotion, no vocals to follow. MeloTune's Sleep presets:
| PRESET | GENRE | EMOTION · ENERGY | WHEN |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bedtime | Ambient | 24 · 30 | lights off, not asleep yet |
| Deep Sleep | Drone | 22 · 8 | the last thing you hear |
Say "play rain sounds" or "play forest sounds" for nature. Or start a Journey to Soften or Wind down from wherever your evening actually is — MeloTune charts the descent first, hands it to your music app as one queue, and it plays through with the phone locked.
How MeloTune gets there
MeloTune is a mood music player: every track it can reach is placed on a 400-mood map — a 20×20 grid of emotion (how positive) and energy (how activated), across 200+ genres — built from how the music actually feels, not from a prompt to a language model. You tell it where you are, or where you want to be, and it curates a station that fits, then plays it through Apple Music, Spotify Premium or your local library.
- Presets — one tap on a mood archetype (the tables on these pages are the app's own presets, with their exact emotion · energy targets).
- Journeys — say where you want to end up (calmer, lifted, focused) and pick 20, 40 or 60 minutes; the whole route is charted first and handed to your music app as one queue, so it plays through with the phone locked.
- Ready For You — the pick MeloTune has learned for you is playing when you open the app, and each pick says what it is for and how sure it is (
CALM · SURE,ENERGIZE · LEARNING). - Dial and voice — set emotion and energy directly, or say "something calmer" / "play focus music".
Learning happens on your phone; nothing about your listening leaves it. Curate as much as you like with no account; MeloTune Premium keeps the music going ($3.99/month or $29.99/year, 7-day free trial).
Questions people ask
What music is best for sleep?
Very low energy and low-to-neutral emotion: ambient, drone, slow new age, and nature sounds. MeloTune's Sleep presets are Ambient at emotion 24 · energy 30 (Bedtime) and Drone at 22 · 8 (Deep Sleep) — the lowest corner of its mood map.
Can it play through with the phone locked?
Yes. A Journey hands the whole route to Apple Music, Spotify or your library as one queue before it starts, so it keeps playing with the screen off and the phone in your pocket or on the nightstand.
Does MeloTune have nature sounds?
Yes — say 'play rain sounds' or 'play forest sounds', or pick the Sleep & Nature genres. They sit on the same mood map as everything else, so a Journey can drift from soft music into them.
Is there a timer?
A Journey has a length — 20, 40 or 60 minutes — and it stops steering when it arrives. Your music app's own sleep timer works alongside it.
