Questions, answered
Everything you might be wondering before your first night.
Can Nightly Ritual help with racing thoughts at night?+
It's designed for nights when your mind won't stop. You speak your racing thoughts aloud, and the app turns them into a short, calming story written for tonight, so your mind can set them down.
How is it different from meditation apps like Calm or Headspace?+
Most apps play the same pre-recorded content for everyone. Nightly Ritual listens to what's on your mind each night and writes a story for tonight around it, then gives you a clear list in the morning.
How does the story work?+
You offload your thoughts by voice. AI gently reframes them — separating the worry from the task — into a personalised, CBT-informed narrative, read aloud in a calming voice over ambient soundscapes.
What if I don't know what to say?+
Just start talking — there's no right way. Ramble, list what's on your mind, or describe how the day felt. The app sorts the meaning from the mess for you.
Can I type instead of speaking?+
Yes. If you'd rather not talk, you can type your thoughts and get the same personalised ritual.
How long does a ritual take?+
A couple of minutes to offload your thoughts, then a short personalised story with soft sound underneath. It's designed to fit into your normal evening, not add to it.
Are my voice recordings stored?+
No. Your recording is turned into text in the moment to write your story, and we don't keep it. The tasks pulled from it are saved so you can see them in the morning (without an account, for 14 days). To delete your data, email privacy@apexdigitalminds.com.
Is this a replacement for therapy or medication?+
No. Nightly Ritual is a CBT-informed wellness tool. It's not a medical device, a diagnosis, or a substitute for professional care. If you're struggling, please reach out to a professional.
Do I need an account to try it?+
No. Your first 2 rituals are free with no signup at all. After that, you can create an account and try Pro free for 7 days. A card is needed to start the trial, we email you before it ends, and you won't be charged if you cancel before then.
How much does it cost, and can I cancel anytime?+
It's free to start. Pro is US$9.99 a month, or US$49.99 a year (just US$4.17 a month), with the first 7 days free on either plan for first-time subscribers. You can cancel anytime and keep Pro access until the end of your billing period.
Does it work on my phone?+
Yes — it runs in any browser and installs as an app on both iOS and Android, so it's right there on your home screen at bedtime.
What soundscapes and voices are included?+
You can wind down to six ambient soundscapes: rain, ocean, stream, wind, nature and storm. Choose from six calm narrator voices: Damon, Gareth and Wade, or Luna, Serena and Celeste. Damon and Luna are free to try, and all six unlock when you start your free trial.
