History[edit]
Relax Melodies was created by two longtime friends, Simon Alex Bérubé and Philippe Lapierre. In 2006, Lapierre developed tinnitus causing him insomnia problems.[4]
To mask the constant ringing noise of tinnitus, he tried various apps, but was dissatisfied with the limited choices and features. For that reason, the two software engineers decided to develop a “digital antidote” to tinnitus and sleep problems. After a few months of brainstorming they developed a sound-mixing app concept and in 2009 Relax Melodies became available on the app store.[5]
Product[edit]
Since 2009, Relax Melodies has been downloaded over 50 million times across all platforms and has logged over 2.5 billion individual sessions.[6] Users have the ability to pick and choose which content they would like to layer and mix to create their own bedtime experience.[7]
Relax Melodies features sounds, binaural beats, guided meditations, bedtime stories, and SleepMoves[8].[9]
Users have access to a catalogue of over 100 loops that include sounds from nature, sources of water, and the city.[10]
In 2018, Relax Melodies developed a sleep-inducing program called SleepMoves in collaboration with neuropsychiatrists.[11] It features exercises that guide users to a restful sleep.[12]
In June 2019, ASMR was added to the apps catalogue.[13]
There are over 20 bedtime stories that include genres such as fairy tales, mystery, fantasy, and non-fiction.[14]
The app also includes meditations topics such as stress, pain relief, relaxation, tinnitus, and gratitude.[15]
