FAQ

Q: How does the app prevent me from being suddenly woken up when the timer ends?

A: To prevent you from being startled by a sudden silence, the app features a gentle audio fade-out effect. Instead of cutting the sound off abruptly, it slowly lowers the playback volume over the final moments of your countdown before pausing the audio completely, ensuring your sleep remains undisturbed.

Q: I just installed the app, but I cannot find it on my home screen or in my app drawer. Where is it?

A: Do not worry, your installation was successful! This utility operates exclusively through your Android System Quick Settings panel and does not have a traditional app launcher icon. This deliberate design decision keeps your app drawer clutter-free while keeping the timer easily accessible with a simple swipe.

Q: How do I set up and add the Sleep Timer tile to my Quick Settings?

A: Setting up the tile is very easy. First, swipe down from the top of your screen to open your Android Quick Settings panel, and then enter edit mode by tapping the pencil or edit icon. From there, locate the Sleep Timer tile in the list of available tiles and drag it up into your active grid to save it.
