Pick a pal
25 pets to choose from. Cats, dogs, cows, pigs and horses, each with a name.
Mellow Pals
A softer kind of screen time.
Slow pets, quiet landscapes and gentle music. Nothing flashing. Nothing to chase.
Coming soon to the App Store®.
One pal, one place, one sound.
Your little one picks a pet. You pick the rest. Then nothing much happens, and that's the idea.
Pick a place
A quiet landscape in spring, summer, autumn or winter, by day or by night. Leave it on automatic and the scene follows the season.
Day and night
Switch to night and your pal is fast asleep.
Pick a sound
Gentle instrumental music, or a steady sound like rain, ocean waves, snowfall, a heartbeat, or white, pink and brown noise.

What it is
We made Mellow Pals slow and quiet on purpose. Pets rest. The scenery moves slowly. The music stays soft. There are no flashing lights, no points, no levels and no ads.
What it isn't
Mellow Pals is not a medical product or a sleep aid. We don't promise it will help your child sleep, settle or learn. Every child is different. If you have questions about your child's sleep, hearing or development, ask your pediatrician.
Listening safely
Keep the volume low and keep the device away from your child's head. The American Academy of Pediatrics gives this advice for infant sound machines: place the machine as far from the baby's head as possible and use it for a short time only. We suggest the same for a phone or tablet.

Screen time
You know your child best. We built Mellow Pals for short, quiet moments with a grown-up nearby.

Bedtime in U.S. homes
Sound and quiet routines are already part of bedtime for many families. In a 2026 National Sleep Foundation survey of 926 U.S. parents of children up to age 13:
- 46%
- read a book before bed
- 41%
- use a sound machine
- 18%
- play music or stories on a device
This survey describes what parents do. It did not test Mellow Pals, and it does not show that sound or screens improve a child's sleep.
