SettingsSleep timer

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.
