Sleep. Focus. Meditate.

Platforms: iOS, Android

This is a very helpful app for people who have trouble falling asleep or focusing on things in general. Tide (Rated 4.5 on the Google Play store and 4.9 on Apple’s App store)  has a soothing minimalist UI with a wide range of background sounds and white noise to help you relax, meditate and/or fall asleep. The app has five sounds you can choose from – Forenoon, Rain, Forest, Muse, and Cafe. Forenoon is basically the sound little waves make when a boat glides through water. Muse is soft, relaxing piano music. The rest are self-explanatory. It provides a wide range of features like timers, alarms and daily quotes. This app requires a bit more storage compared to other similar apps. It also needs an internet connection in order to use it. Try out the different modes to find out what works best for you.
