SHUSH
Room-aware sleep app, built differently
After two decades in professional audio, I realized sleep apps are engineered all wrong.
They ignore what's already in your room — HVAC, traffic, fans — and blast full broadband noise on top of it. That's fighting the room, not working with it.
Shush does the opposite. It reads what's already there and only generates what's missing. Full spectrum sound at a much lower volume.
Real-time synthesis — every moment mathematically unique. No loops, no patterns your brain can latch onto.
A 2026 Penn Medicine study found continuous broadband noise reduces REM sleep by 19 minutes per night. Shush's smart timer builds around that: low-level sound to fall asleep, gentle fade, then silence so your brain can rest.
Device-aware optimization.
Precision notch filtering for tinnitus (based on clinical research).
Guided breathing.
500+ downloads, 20% Day-7 retention, $0 spent on marketing. Real users, returning.
Shush Signature Sounds, monthly additions — purpose-engineered profiles using the same room-aware principles.
What's next:
The Listening Post — a cinematic content series tied to causes around the world. Each episode is an immersive guided meditation filmed with teachers in their communities. We're partnering with organizations focused on education, health, and social impact. 20% of Video tier revenue goes directly to the partner organization for each episode.
Episode 1 launches 2027: Wat Arun in Bangkok. Filmed with a renowned monk, now in post-production. Revenue supports Wat Arun CLC's nursing education scholarships for at-risk girls.
Content creates revenue. Revenue creates impact.
Here's what matters: 20% of every Listening Post sale goes to the nonprofits we film with. We're building a sleep app that gives back.
