Nocturne FM is a retro FM radio for sleep. Pick from 50 curated ambient soundscapes — rain on a tent, deep ocean, crackling fireplace, forest streams, summer cicadas, a cozy airplane cabin — set a timer, and drift off.
Offline. Ad-free. No tracking. No account.
Whether you fall asleep to rain, the hum of an airplane cabin, or a crackling fire, there's a track here that fits. Every soundscape is tuned to loop for hours without repetition artifacts.

Every soundscape is crafted to loop without clicks or jarring breaks. Switch tracks and the incoming voice crossfades over the outgoing one.
A dot-matrix clock, a violet-glow chassis, and a scrollable track queue — Nocturne FM looks like a bedside radio from a warmer decade.
Every category brings its own animated scene — falling rain, floating embers, drifting fireflies, rising bubbles, twinkling stars — synced to the music.
No account, no email, no tracking, no analytics, no ads, no microphone access. Nothing leaves your device.
Every track is bundled with the app — no streaming, no buffering. Nocturne FM plays the same in airplane mode, on a plane, or in a cabin in the woods.
Nocturne FM is a sleep sounds app at heart, but it works just as well for focus work, study sessions, meditation, yoga, reading, masking a noisy office or a crying newborn in the next room. Any quiet you need, there's a track tuned for it.
