How does the sleep timer work in a radio app?

You set a duration (e.g., 30 minutes) from the Now Playing screen. The app continues playing normally. When the timer reaches zero, playback pauses automatically. You can cancel or extend the timer at any time.

Does the sleep timer work with podcasts too?

Yes. The sleep timer works for both radio stations and podcast episodes. It's the same timer — just tap the moon icon on the player screen and choose your duration.

Can I set a custom sleep timer duration?

Yes. In addition to the presets (15, 30, 45, 60 minutes), you can set any custom duration. The remaining time is shown on the player screen so you always know when it will pause.

A Radio App with Sleep Timer That Actually Lets You Rest

Set a timer, drift off to your favorite station, and let the app handle the rest. Configurable duration, works for both radio and podcasts. No jarring silence — just a gentle pause when time's up.

Why a Sleep Timer Matters

Falling asleep to radio or a podcast is one of life's simple pleasures. But leaving it playing all night drains your battery, uses unnecessary data, and can wake you up hours later with random content. A good sleep timer solves all three problems.

    How It Works
    Tap the moon icon (🌙) on the Now Playing screen.
Choose a preset: 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes — or enter a custom duration.
The timer counts down. Remaining time is shown on the player.
When the timer reaches zero, playback pauses automatically.
Cancel or extend the timer anytime with one tap.

  

Designed for Nighttime Use

The sleep timer isn't an afterthought — it's built into the player screen for quick access. Dark theme by default means no bright screen when you're setting the timer in a dark room. The timer display is subtle — a small countdown next to the moon icon, not a glaring notification.

Works with Radio and Podcasts

Whether you're listening to a late-night jazz station or working through a podcast backlog, the sleep timer works the same way. One timer, one tap, one peaceful night.

Beyond the Timer

LiveTune Radio is also designed for efficient background audio:

Background playback — lock your phone, the audio continues. Lock screen controls let you adjust volume without unlocking.
No interruptions — zero ads means no loud commercial waking you up at 3 AM.

Frequently Asked

Will the sleep timer stop my alarm?

No. The sleep timer only controls LiveTune Radio playback. Your phone's alarm, notifications, and other apps are unaffected.

What happens if I extend the timer mid-sleep?

You can tap the timer display on the player screen and choose a new duration at any time. The countdown resets to the new value.

Does the sleep timer save battery?

Yes — by pausing playback instead of letting it run all night, you save both battery and mobile data.
