Sleep science built for
those who work at night.

Noctune is the only circadian health app designed exclusively for night shift workers — every feature timed to your biology, not a 9-to-5 schedule.

The problem

Every sleep app was built for the other 80%.

Night shift workers don't have irregular sleep — they have a different schedule entirely. Existing apps assume nighttime sleep, morning alarms, and no circadian awareness.

The result is a chronic, invisible public health crisis. Circadian disruption drives cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, and cognitive impairment across every industry that never sleeps.

Report poor sleep quality

Circadian disruption is the default experience for night shift workers worldwide.

The demand is validated. The product did not exist — until now.

The 3 Moons Framework

Noctune's proprietary science.

Most apps track one thing. We track three — because timing, duration, and quality each need distinct interventions no general sleep app provides.

🌒

Timing

When you sleep matters as much as how long. Every notification timed to your actual shift pattern.

  • Two-stage blue light protocol
  • DLMO melatonin guidance — 4 hrs before target sleep
  • Caffeine cutoff timed to your shift
  • Wind-down prompts at the right biological moment
🌓

Duration

Tracks cumulative sleep debt against your target. Never penalises shift workers for being irregular.

  • Personalised 7-hour sleep target
  • Colour-coded debt severity + recovery plan
  • Contextualised for rotating schedules
  • Separate nap logging
🌕

Quality

How restorative your sleep actually is. After 5 nights, Noctune surfaces what's helping vs. hurting.

  • Daily quality rating + habit tags
  • Energy check-in — mood and alertness
  • Correlation engine reveals what works for you
  • Sleep insights — not sleep hygiene
Noctune's signature feature Adaptive Recovery Mode

Your body clock, rerouted.

Every app tells shift workers to keep a consistent schedule — advice that is physiologically impossible on rotating shifts. ARM gives them a roadmap instead.

1

Light management

Red-tinted glasses before shift end. Sunglasses on exit. Morning light suppression on recovery days — the most powerful circadian lever available.

2

Meal timing

Food is a powerful clock signal (zeitgeber). ARM shifts meal windows alongside your sleep targets.

3

Strategic movement

Light activity at key phase-advance points to accelerate realignment without triggering arousal.

4

Progressive bedtime shifting

The circadian system shifts 1-2 hours per day at maximum. ARM mirrors this biology exactly — flexible for family responsibilities.

🔔

Smart shift-aware notifications

Wind-down alert, sunglasses reminder, caffeine cutoff, melatonin timing — all auto-adjusted to your exact shift calendar.

🤖

Luna — AI sleep guide

Warm, non-judgmental, always on. Grounded in CDC NIOSH and NIH sources. Available on every screen.

SOS tab

4-7-8 breathing, Cognitive Shuffle, 5-4-3-2-1 DBT grounding, Yoga Nidra, curated sleep sounds, and the 3AM Survival Kit.

📓

Sleep log + correlation engine

Log duration, quality, and habit tags. After 5 nights the engine surfaces what is actually helping vs. hurting.

📉

Sleep debt tracker

Weekly deficit vs. your target with colour-coded severity — contextualised for rotating schedules.

📅

Calendar scheduling

Mark work days, quick-fill for common patterns (7/7, 3/3, 4/3). All notifications and ARM auto-adjust.

Daily energy check-in

Quick daily entry: mood, alertness, energy level. Feeds into your 3 Moons quality score.

💡

Personalised sleep insights

Daily tips grounded in CDC and NIH research. Sleep insights — not sleep hygiene.
