Terms of Service

Last updated: September 2026

Acceptance of these terms

By using Softspoken (Slow Sleep Stories) you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the app.

What the app is

Softspoken is a bedtime audio app: whole public-domain books read slowly, soft Rambles about mundane subjects, two-voice Small Talks, ambience beds, and short wind-downs. It is designed to support relaxation and wind-down at bedtime, and it remembers where sleep took over so it can pick you back up.

Subscriptions

• Premium is an auto-renewing subscription sold through Apple's App Store. Two plans are offered: $39.99 per year and $9.99 per month, or the equivalent in your local currency. The price shown in the App Store at the moment of purchase is the one that applies.
• New subscribers can start with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. The monthly plan has no trial. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, it turns into a paid yearly subscription and the first year is charged.
• A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your Apple Account is charged at confirmation of purchase and again at each renewal.
• Cancel or change a plan in your Apple Account subscription settings. Apple, not us, handles billing, cancellations and refunds; we cannot cancel a subscription on your behalf.
• Prices can change. A change never applies to a period you have already paid for, and Apple asks for your consent where its rules require it.
• Some content is free and stays free. Premium opens the full shelf of books, the complete Ramble and Small Talk archives, offline downloads, and the premium sounds and wind-downs.

Wellness disclaimer

Softspoken is a wellness and entertainment product, designed to support relaxation and wind-down. It is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition, including sleep disorders, and it is not a substitute for professional medical advice. If you sleep badly over a long period, or you are worried about your sleep or your health, talk to a doctor.

Do not listen while driving or doing anything else that needs your attention, and keep the volume comfortable.

Content and licensing

The books are works in the public domain. The Ramble and Small Talk scripts are original works written for this app, the recordings are our own productions, and the ambience beds are licensed for distribution in the app. All of it, together with the app's text, artwork and software, belongs to us or to our licensors.

An active subscription gives you a personal, non-transferable licence to listen inside the app for as long as it lasts. You may not copy, extract, re-upload, redistribute or publicly perform the audio, and you may not attempt to circumvent the protection on downloaded files.

Acceptable use

Use the app for your own listening. Do not attempt to break, probe, overload or reverse-engineer the app or the services behind it.

Availability

Playback needs an internet connection unless you have downloaded the item first. We add content regularly and occasionally retire it, and we may change or suspend parts of the service; we do not promise that a particular title stays on the shelf forever.

Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. To the extent permitted by law we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for any damage arising from use of the app. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date above moves when we do, and continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
