How to use yoruoto, and the questions we are asked most. If something here does not solve it, write to support@do-tech.jp.

Frequently asked questions

Can I leave it playing until morning?

Yes. It keeps playing with the screen off, and resumes by itself after a call or a notification. To stop it, use the timer, the stop button on the lock screen, or the play button in the app.

I closed the app but the sound keeps playing

Swiping the app away from the recent-apps list also stops the sound (fixed in v1.0.0). If it still keeps playing, try restarting the device and write to us with your device name and OS version.

The timer finished but I got no notification

Check that notifications are allowed for yoruoto in your device settings, and that “Tell me when it stops” is on in the timer sheet. Power-saving settings can also delay notifications.

Can it play alongside other apps?

Yes. With “Play alongside other apps” on in settings, it layers over your podcast or music without stopping them. Use the master volume in the app to bring only the ambience down.

Is there a limit on saved mixes?

No, save as many as you like. Reorder the list with the handle on the right of each card; whatever is on top is loaded the next time you open the app. Long-press a card to rename or delete it.

Could a mix I saved for free stop working later?

No. What is free today will not become paid later.

What does Pro add?

All 12 sounds (cafe, thunder, stream, insects, wind chime), the “Indigo” and “Paper” themes, and exporting / importing mixes. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.

What happens to Pro when I change phones?

Use “Restore purchases” in settings with the same store account. Saved mixes live on the device, so they do not travel by themselves — export them to a JSON file with the Pro export feature and import them on the new device.

Can I try a locked sound?

Yes. Tap a locked sound to open the Pro sheet and watch a video to unlock it for 24 hours. Watching is optional, and every free feature works without it.

Where are the audio files?

There are none. Every sound is synthesised on the device, so there is nothing to download and the app stays small.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. Mixes and settings are stored on your device only. The app uses the network when you choose to watch a reward video, and when you buy or restore Pro. See the privacy policy for details.

How do I delete my data?

Uninstalling the app removes everything stored on the device. To delete a single mix, long-press its card in the mixes list.
