What People Are Saying

Real reviews from the App Store.

★★★★★

"I've tried every sleep app out there. This is the only one I actually use every night. The haptics are brilliant — I close my eyes and just follow the vibrations."

Sarah M. App Store Review
★★★★★

"Been using 4-7-8 for two weeks. I fall asleep in under 10 minutes now. And it's FREE. I don't understand why this isn't the top health app."

James R. App Store Review
★★★★★

"Simple, beautiful, and it actually works. I use the 'Wind Down' preset every night. My anxiety before bed has basically disappeared."
