Reinforce what you already practiced
SomniCue does not replace your work. It carries the pairing you built awake into sleep.
Works passively while you sleep
The Cue plays at appropriate sleep stages. You do nothing extra.
One app, no extra hardware
Runs on your iPhone. No headband, no wearables, no setup.
Built on decades of TMR research
Targeted Memory Reactivation has been studied in sleep labs for years. SomniCue brings it out.

Learn & Remember
Make today's studying still feel real tomorrow.
Studying, language practice, professional learning. Run a Session while you work. The Cue plays during sleep to reinforce what you covered. Repeated exposure binds the Cue to the material. Sleep replay reactivates that pairing.
“Using it for Portuguese vocab. Hard to tell if it's the app or just the extra consistency, but my recall in the morning does feel a bit sharper.”

Reframe Thoughts. Calm Anxiety.
Support the emotional work you are already doing.
Reinforce a reframe you rehearsed while awake, often alongside therapy or a journaling practice. Or pair a Cue with a calming practice. The same Cue plays during sleep to reinforce that association. SomniCue supports the work. It does not replace it.

Build Confidence
Keep the version of yourself you practiced active overnight.
Reinforce a self-concept or a practiced behavior. Pair a Cue with the practice while awake. The Cue plays during sleep to keep the association active. The technique is sophisticated. The product is not heavy.
“Main concern was waking up my partner. The Cues are quiet enough that she had no idea they were playing. That alone sold me.”
Grounded in published research
Targeted Memory Reactivation has lived in sleep labs for years.

How it works
Three steps. One mechanism.

4/5
01Create an Item
An Item is one thing you want to reinforce. Pick a Category (Learn & Remember, Reframe Thoughts, Calm Anxiety, or Build Confidence), give it a title, and select one Cue from the audio library.
One Item. One Cue. One Category.

02Run Sessions while awake
A Session is any awake activity, studying, journaling, practicing, during which the Item's Cue plays periodically in the background. Engagement is passive. Repeated exposure builds the pairing between Cue and activity.
Sessions can be timed or open-ended.

03Run a Sleep Session
Pick the Item, choose Nap or Tonight, set bedtime and wake time, and accept the recommended number of Cue plays. The Cue plays at appropriate sleep stages, reactivating the awake associations.
Based on peer-reviewed TMR research.
Practice today. Let sleep do the rest.
Create an Item. Run a Session while you do your activity. Start a Sleep Session before bed. The Cue carries the pairing across both.
