Hey. I recently got an iPhone 4. I was wondering if there are any good LDing apps... whether it be an app to play soft music at a certain time... or flash lights... or anything. Also, I'd rather not jailbreak my iPhone... so I'd prefer ones in the app store.
Thanks
i don't wanna sound like a donkey, but you're the one with the iphone. you should find the stuff yourself and then tell all of us about it (:
Some over-priced binaural beat apps are the only things close unfortunately. I may design an app for the variation of DEILD CANWILD (goes off for 3-10 seconds playing any sound you want, then shuts off automatically) when I get a Mac.
I recently downloaded Brainwave Dream Inducer for about .99 cents. It has several binaural beats that can lull you into a deep sleep (I tried it last night and felt all warm and floaty), and has a nice ambient sound feature so you aren't just listening to the beats themselves. I have yet to have a LD with it but I will keep using it until I get used to what it does. Cheers!
Not quite LDing, but I find the SleepCycle app useful.
It works as an alarm clock which wakes you up as close to your alarm (before the time set) when you are out of your REM cycle by measuring how much you move to determine how light your sleeping is.
I've found this useful for LDing as it gives you a graph showing where your REM cycles are so you can plan DEILDs, but I've found I just like it as an alarm as I wake up fresher and more awake.
It's free also.
I have not yet found a useful LDing app, and I've tried dozens. I still think it works best to just set my alarm once for about 3 hours after I go to sleep. I'm usually in a good place in my REM cycle at that point to just turn it off and go back to sleep and get lucid at some point later in the night.
I also like Brainwave, I don't know if its the same thing sloth face mentioned, because the one I have is just called Brainwave and not Brainwave Dream Inducer, but I do like the binaural beats and they do work at getting you into certain brainwaves.
The best sound app I've downloaded is called Naturespace (free, Thundergod costs money), it's 3D holographic sound and it is seriously amazing.
Also, use the search function, there are like 50 threads about iphone apps already.
The AmbiScience 100 Beats & Tones app has been great for clearing my head, and creating passive awareness during a WILD attempt. I haven't successfully transitioned, but I've reached SP a few times now using it. It's 99cents and has a ton of binaural beats, isochronic tones and ambient sounds. There is also a countdown timer included (to shut off automatically after a certain amount of time), and an alarm function. I plan to try falling asleep to a beat/sound combination, and use the alarm to have the same beat/sound turn on at around 5am.
Also, I know it's been mentioned in other threads - but the 99cent app called Dreams Controller successfully induced a LD for me 2 nights ago.
I'm not sure if there's an app for the iphone too, but there's one for the ipod called "White noise lite". It has some looping quite noise sounds which work pretty well if you want to fall asleep or relax into SP.
Here's the apps I downloaded on to my iPod touch 4G
Sleep Cycle alarm (kinda annoying to use I'll be honest)
