Naptick AI - Al sleep companion that helps fall asleep without struggle
by•
Naptick is a smart bedside AI sleep companion designed for founders, professionals, light sleepers, and anyone struggling with nighttime stress or doomscrolling. It combines circadian light therapy, 1000+ adaptive soundscapes, room condition intelligence, app-locking, and an on-device AI sleep coach to help users fall asleep faster and wake up refreshed. Unlike passive sleep trackers, Naptick is built phone-free by design and actively helps improve sleep before the night begins.

as a founder who closes the laptop at 2am way too often, the app-locking feature alone is worth it. love that the AI runs on-device -- privacy matters when something is literally in your bedroom. nice launch

@nossa_iyamu Founder to founder, thank you, this means a lot.
The nap lock is genuinely one of my favorite features. Voice command or app trigger, and the bedside device holds the line so you do not have to. 2am you cannot out-argue 11pm you anymore, which is the whole point.
One small clarification on the AI for accuracy. The agents run in the cloud right now, not on-device. The privacy story is still strong though, no camera, only environmental sensors (temp, CO2, humidity, VOCs, light), and voice is button activated, so the room is not being streamed anywhere unless you summon Naptick. Edge inference is something we are working on.
Grateful for the support.
Late night debugging sessions have completely wrecked my sleep schedule and every tracker I've used just tells me I slept badly without actually doing anything about it. Naptick being phone-free by design is the detail that stands out. Most sleep tech just gives you more screen time before bed which defeats the whole point,

@rahul_mehta20 You just wrote the pitch better than I do. The 'diagnostic without intervention' gap is exactly why we built Naptick. Naptick actually does something about it, runs your wind down, dims lights, plays soundscapes, locks the phone away, watches the room overnight, adjusts night to night based on what worked.
Late-night coding has a real biological cost too, sympathetic nervous system stays activated 60 to 90 minutes after you close the laptop. Most of what Naptick does is shorten that gap so you actually fall asleep instead of lying there relitigating the bug.
Congrats on the launch @anubhab_goel1 ! Does it tells night stories? Can it be a companion for kids to fall asleep?
Naptick AI
@gsostak Thank you so much! And yes - bedtime stories and calming voice experiences are definitely a direction we’re excited about exploring.
We do think Naptick can become a comforting sleep companion for kids as well, especially through gentle soundscapes, calming interactions, and screen-free bedtime routines that help them wind down naturally.

This is great. For someone who scrolls on my phone before I sleep this is actually super useful.
Naptick AI
@nithish_a1 Thank you! You are literally the user we designed Naptick around. Phone scrolling in bed is not a willpower problem, it is a design problem, the device is built to capture you. The fix is removing every reason your hand reaches for it.
Naptick handles the lights, alarm, soundscapes, Spotify, journaling, wind down, all by voice. Phone has no job in the bedroom anymore.
What is the thing that usually pulls you in, social feeds, news, YouTube, or something else? Trying to make sure we cover every trigger.
I currently use a Lumie lamp and find that using gradually dimming or brightening light really helps with falling in and out of sleep respectively. This seems like an obvious next step from that with the soundtracks, which tbf I currently use my phone for. Does it also include guided meditations or breath work sessions it can recommend based on what you might be saying during journaling or even as an alternative to the regular sounds?
Naptick AI
@ferdi_sigona Love that you're already a Lumie user! You'll feel right at home with Naptick! And yes, guided meditations and breathwork sessions are very much part of whats available and the AI assistant can be prompted to play those. We're also building out contextual recommendations, so the AI can suggest sessions based on what you've been journaling about. Would love to hear what kinds of breathwork you currently use!

@hamza_afzal_butt Thank you, this means a lot. The AI hardware wave is real, and our bet is that sleep is one of the few categories where putting the intelligence in the room actually changes the outcome. Appreciate the support!
Does it also find patterns related to my daily schedule? And help me optimize my sleep on days I sleep late?
Naptick AI
@vishesh_goel2 Thanks for showing interest in Naptick! and Yes - Naptick already adapts based on your sleep routines, timing patterns, habits, and recovery needs over time. So on days you sleep late, travel, work longer hours, or have an irregular schedule, the AI sleep coach can adjust soundscapes, lighting, and sleep routines accordingly to help you unwind and recover better instead of treating every night the same way.
this is super cool, have you thought about adding other sensory sleep aids like aromatherapy?
Naptick AI
@buildingoggles interesting thought, we currently don't have a plan to add aromatherapy but very interesting to hear such suggestions and we'll explore things that make your sleep better.
Massive congrats to Anubhab, Aman, and the whole team on the launch! The hardware design looks incredibly sleek.
As a fellow backend dev, I noticed you guys are using Gemini for the agentic voice layer. I'm actually building an open-source AI FinOps proxy right now (ARKA) specifically to handle multi-model routing and token tracking.
Curious—with a hardware device that might be pinging Gemini all night long, how are you guys handling the token limits and cost tracking per user? Is it all custom-built in-house?
Awesome work today, rooting for you guys to hold that #2 spot!
Imagine Naptick gently lowering the room temperature via smart plug + fan/AC integration when it detects you’re struggling to fall asleep. Environmental intelligence on steroids
Naptick AI
@ethan_thompson3 you are reading our roadmap. Naptick already senses room temperature continuously, along with CO2, humidity, VOCs, and ambient light, so the diagnostic brain is there today. The next layer is actuation, exactly what you described. Smart plugs, fans, AC, smart thermostats, all triggered by what the device sees in real time. The room becomes the intervention, not just the input.
There is real biology here too. Core body temp drops 1 to 2 degrees during sleep onset, and a bedroom around 65 to 68F genuinely speeds that drop. Right now Naptick can tell you your room is two degrees too warm. The next version just fixes it while you brush your teeth.
As a customer would you want Naptick to just act on this autonomously while you sleep, or surface a quiet nudge first? Curious where you sit on the autonomy versus consent question.
