A sound tool, not sleep or safety advice
Hushly plays sounds; it does not promise a sleep outcome or replace caregiver judgment. Keep any sound source as far from the infant as practical, use the lowest effective volume, limit duration, and speak with a qualified professional about questions specific to your child.

Choose a familiar sound
White noise, rain, ocean waves, lullabies, and more are ready without a search or stream.
Indian lullabies
Keep regional Indian lullabies alongside the rest of the sound library.
A softer night light
Use the built-in night light for late-night feeding or diaper changes without reaching for harsh room lights.
Set a timer, then step away
Choose 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes, or let a sound continue until you stop it.
Use it with one hand
Large tap targets and simple controls reduce the number of decisions at an awkward moment.
Return to the last sound
Open the app and resume the sound you used last, without browsing the library again.
Keep playback practical
Find battery optimisation guidance for Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, and other Android phones.
No ads in the moment
No banner, video, or other ad interruption appears while you are choosing or playing a sound.
A familiar control when the room is dark
Hushly is for playing sounds and managing a simple routine - not for guaranteeing sleep.
Open Hushly on Google PlayFrequently Asked Questions
Is Hushly completely free?
Hushly is free to use, with no ads and no subscription. There is an optional one-time Premium unlock for extras, but the sounds you need at 2am are free.
Does Hushly work without internet?
Yes. All sounds are bundled in the app and play offline. No internet connection is needed.
Is white noise safe for babies?
Infant sleep machines can reach hazardous sound levels. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises placing them as far from the infant as possible, using the lowest effective volume, and limiting how long they run. It does not define one universally safe decibel level or distance for every device and room.

Yes. Set a timer for 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes, or let sounds play continuously until you stop them.
Can Hushly play sounds in the background?
Yes. Hushly continues playing when you lock your phone or switch to other apps, with minimal battery usage.
What sounds does Hushly include?
White noise, pink noise, rain, ocean waves, fan sounds, shushing, heartbeat, and Indian lullabies. New sounds are added with updates.
Does Hushly collect any data?
No. Hushly does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. There is no account, no analytics, and no data sharing.
What age babies is Hushly suitable for?
Hushly is designed for newborns through toddlers (0-3 years), but many parents and adults also use it for their own sleep. White noise benefits sleepers of all ages.
