SeekrTech launches SleepTown gamified sleep app

SeekrTech, the developer behind the focus app Forest, has released SleepTown, a new application designed to improve sleep hygiene through gamification. The app encourages users to stick to a consistent sleep schedule by allowing them to build a virtual city.

Users set a bedtime and wake-up time, then initiate a building project before putting their phone away. Successfully meeting these sleep goals results in the growth of new buildings, while failing to stick to the schedule or using the phone during the night causes existing structures to collapse.

Successful nights earn coins and bonuses that can be used to unlock over 70 types of buildings, terrains, and decorations. The app includes features such as bedtime reminders, an alarm, a night shift mode to reduce blue light, and the ability to share sleep goals with friends and family. SleepTown is available on iOS for 1.99 euros and is free on Android with ads and in-app purchases, though a Pro version is available to remove advertisements.
