Minimalist Sleep Apps

MUJI to Sleep Provides Nature-Inspired Tracks to Induce Relaxation

— July 26, 2014 — Tech
MUJI to Sleep is an app that's designed to help you slip into relaxation no matter where you are. Like most MUJI products, the app is simple, straightforward and easy to use. To get started, it's as easy as swiping through a series of tracks based around nature themes like campfires, mountains, waterfalls, birds or forests.

It's best to listen to these tracks with a pair of headphones, since they're binaural, meaning that it uses two microphones, one for each of your ears. For an even more optimal listening experience, MUJI suggests pairing the app with one of its travel neck pillows, so that you can find some peace even when you're on bustling public transit.
Trend Themes
1. Nature-inspired Sleep Apps - Opportunity for app developers to create nature-inspired minimalist sleep apps that induce relaxation.
2. Binaural Sound Technology - Opportunity for audio companies to innovate binaural sound technology in their products for an optimal listening experience.
3. Multifunctional Sleep Accessories - Opportunity for sleep accessory companies to develop multifunctional products that complement minimalist sleep apps and promote relaxation.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile App Development - Minimalist sleep apps provide a market opportunity for mobile app developers to create innovative products that cater to the growing demand for sleep and relaxation aids.
2. Audio Technology - The popularity of binaural sound technology presents an opportunity for audio companies to integrate it into their products, further enhancing the listening experience for users.
3. Travel Accessories - Minimalist sleep apps provide a market opportunity for travel accessory companies to create products that complement the app and promote relaxation while on the go.
