Wind Down Sleep Ritual: Hoshi

it is 1am. you meant to sleep at 11. the phone is still in your hand.

hoshi is 90 seconds. then you put it down.

three breaths. one line. sleep.

you have tried the big ones. the meditation app with the celebrity voices. the sleep stories that auto-play another sleep story. the streak that shamed you for missing tuesday.

they wanted more of your night. you wanted less of it.

hoshi is small on purpose.

the 90 seconds

one orb on a dark screen. it pulses. you tap it.

pick how the day felt. four options. no journaling, no slider, no follow-up question.

the orb breathes with you. 4 in, 7 hold, 8 out. three rounds. you do not have to watch a number, the orb does that.

one affirmation appears. short. honest. written like a person, not a fortune cookie. you read it. the screen fades. you sleep.

hoshi is a wellness app, not a medical device. if you have a sleep disorder or anxiety condition, please talk to a doctor.

what is not in here

no streaks. miss a night, nothing happens. come back when you want.
no accounts. no email, no password, no "continue with google".
no notifications, except one optional wind-down reminder at a time you pick.
no ads. no trackers. no behavioral analytics. we do not know who you are and we are not trying to find out.
no infinite scroll of content. there is no content feed. there is one ritual.

if any of that felt like a relief to read, you are the person this is for.

600 affirmations

150 per mood, four moods, all bundled inside the app. nothing fetched, nothing generated, nothing personalized by a model that read your texts. just lines, written by hand, that someone might actually want to hear at midnight.

constellations instead of streaks

every completed night is a star. 64 stars across 10 real constellations. orion, cassiopeia, the southern cross, the rest. fill the sky slowly. no badge, no notification, no "you are on fire". just a quiet record that you showed up.

skip a week. the stars wait.

five palettes

warm ember is the default. soft amber on near-black, easy on a dark room. there are four others if you want them: cool blues, deep purples, forest greens, dusk pinks. pick once in settings, forget about it.

pricing

monthly or annual subscription. annual plan includes a 3-day free trial for new subscribers. local pricing shown on the subscribe screen.

no free tier, no ads, no upsells inside the app. that is the whole business model. you pay a small thing once or once a year, i keep making it, nobody sells your data.

cancel from your apple id settings in two taps.

privacy, the short version

your ritual data stays on your device. mood selections, constellation progress, palette choice, reminder time, and affirmations are not uploaded.

purchases are handled using an anonymous billing id. crash reports may be sent to help fix bugs. they do not include your email, name, mood, affirmations, or ritual history, because hoshi has no account.

who this is for

people who already know what to do at night and just need a quiet thing to help them do it. people tired of apps trying to be a friend, a coach, and a therapist at the same time. people who want one button.

who this is not for

if you want guided meditations, sleep stories, soundscapes, or sleep tracking with charts, there are good apps for that. hoshi does one thing and then closes.

a note from me

i made this by myself. no investors, no growth team, no roadmap of features nobody asked for. if something breaks or a line lands wrong, email me. chirag.gps@gmail.com. i read everything.

phone down. three breaths. sleep.
