Getting started

On the List tab, press Add 40 example items to try the app straight away. Then go to the Shuffle tab and press Start.

Building your own list

• Type an item and press return to add it. The field stays ready for the next one.
• To add many at once, copy a list from Notes or anywhere else, one item per line, and press Import from clipboard.
• Keep items short and easy to picture: “kettle” works better than “a red kettle with a blue lid”, because you can picture your own.
• To remove an item, press it in the list and confirm.
• To replace the examples with your own items, remove the ones you do not want, or press Clear list. If you are not sure, press Export list first and save the text somewhere safe.

During a session

When a word is spoken, picture that one thing in as much detail as you can. When the next word comes, let the first one go. You can lock your phone; ImagineSleep keeps speaking until the session ends.

Common questions

I cannot hear anything

Check the volume buttons, and that another app is not playing audio. ImagineSleep plays even with the ring/silent switch set to silent.

Does it work with VoiceOver?

Yes. Every screen works fully with VoiceOver, and you can still navigate to Stop while words are playing.

How do I move my list to a new phone?

Press Export list and save the text, then on the new phone copy that text and press Import from clipboard.
