Auto sleep timer
The sleep timer starts by itself when you play a book at the chosen hours. No need to set it by hand every evening.
Rows
- “Auto sleep timer”
- Turns it on and off. Off by default.
- “From” and “To”
- The time window. From 22:00 to 6:00 by default. The window may cross midnight.
- “Arm”
- 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes or “to end of chapter”. 30 minutes by default.
When it starts
- When you play a book and the time on the clock falls inside the window — from the player, the mini player, the Lock Screen or a headphone button.
- Once per opened book. Cancelled the timer with “Cancel” — it won’t come back the next time you start the same book.
- It does not override a timer you have already set yourself.
- “to end of chapter” does not start for a book without chapters.
- If “From” and “To” are the same, the auto timer never starts.
The started timer
- It is a regular sleep timer: the remaining time on the timer button in the player, “+10 min” and “Cancel” in its sheet.
- Fade-out, rollback, counting and shaking work just as with a timer set by hand.
- With “Sync across devices”, the auto timer — the switch, “From”, “To” and “Arm” — travels to your other devices.
Tip
Fall asleep to a whole chapter? Choose “to end of chapter”: the book stops at the chapter boundary, not in the middle of a sentence.
