Fade out at the end
For how many seconds the book’s sound gently fades before the sleep timer pauses it. By the end of the countdown the volume reaches zero.
How it works
- The fade starts when the chosen number of seconds is left before the timer fires. The volume goes down evenly and reaches zero at the pause.
- It is the book’s volume that fades, not the phone’s: the system volume stays yours.
- After the pause the volume comes back at once: in the morning the book plays as usual.
- “+10 min” in the timer sheet, or shaking the phone during the fade, brings back full volume, and the countdown goes on.
- Works with any sleep timer: a timed one, “To the end of the chapter”, “To the end of the file”, the auto timer and a timer turned on without opening the app.
- The fade lasts real seconds whatever the “Counts” setting and the speed: 20 seconds is 20 seconds by the clock. The timer itself fires by its own “Counts”.
Values
- “Off”

Tip
The fade is a sign that the timer is about to fire. If you are not asleep yet, tap “+10 min” or shake the phone while “Extend by shaking” is on.
