iPhones have changed the way many of us live our day-to-day lives but now, iPhone developer Mobelux is looking at changing the way we sleep with the release of their new app iHome+Sleep.
The app is a “social music alarm clock” that has a variety of interesting functions. As well as letting you set alarms from your music collection, the app allows you to create “Sleep Cards” which allow you to set different alarm templates with various time settings, sounds and alerts.
The feed function of the app is useful and allows you to wake up for your Facebook or Twitter timeline, or your favourite RSS feeds. You can also program the app with automated tasks such as auto-posting to Twitter of Facebook when you go to sleep or reminding you to brush your teeth before you go to bed. The app also features an interesting “Sleep Stats” feature that keeps a record of how long you sleep for and your sleeping patterns etc.
The iHome+Sleep app is free but aims to upsell a line of stereo’s that will accompany the app to be released in 2010. According to the manufacturers you will be able to control a variety of functions of the stereo direct from your iPhone.
iHome+Sleep is a good application limited by the fact that the iPhone’s inbuilt speakers are fairly poor both for going to sleep to and waking up to. However, with the release of the accompanying stereo systems, I think this app will pave the way for changing the way we sleep forever.
