Mastery Doesn't Sleep. Unlock Your Brain's Potential Overnight.
SomniCue uses Targeted Memory Reactivation to strengthen memories during deep sleep — backed by 40+ peer-reviewed studies and a 97% improvement in recall.

The 97% Discovery
In 2007, researchers discovered that scent cues during deep sleep could boost memory recall by 97%. SomniCue brings this Nobel Prize-winning science to your bedroom.

How It Works
The Science of Sleep Learning, Simplified.
1. Activate & Tag
Start a study session and SomniCue plays subtle cues in the background — sound from the app, haptics from your Watch, or scent from the diffuser. When you encounter a key concept, flick your wrist to tag it for priority replay tonight.
Flicker Trigger™ — Patent Pending
2. Reactivate During Deep Sleep
During sleep, SomniCue replays the same cues to trigger memory consolidation. With an Smart Watch, it targets deep sleep automatically. Without one, it spreads cues across your sleep window. Either way, your sleeping brain processes them without waking you.
Smart Sleep Detection via HealthKit
3. Wake Up Smarter
The overnight replay strengthened neural pathways for exactly what you studied. Recall is faster, retention is deeper, and you didn't spend a single extra minute reviewing.
97% better retention (Rasch et al., 2007)
Feature Deep Dives
Engineered for Effortless Retention.
The Flicker Trigger™
Mark “aha!” moments instantly. A quick wrist shake during study tags that specific concept for priority replay tonight. Your sleeping brain will spend extra time consolidating exactly what matters most.
Smart Sleep Detection
Reads your sleep stages in real-time via Apple HealthKit or Android Health Connect. Cues only fire during deep sleep (N3) — when consolidation peaks.
Smart Scent Diffuser
The most effective TMR modality. Pairs a specific scent with your study session, then re-releases it during deep sleep. Subtle enough that your partner won't notice.
Multi-Subject Library
Assign different cues to different subjects. Studying Organic Chemistry tonight? Japanese tomorrow? SomniCue knows which memories to replay and when.
Sleep & Memory Analytics
Track cues delivered, deep sleep windows hit, and measure your retention progress over time. See the science working, night by night.
In Sync, Day and Night.
Start with just the app — it's a real TMR system on its own. Add a Smart Watch for smarter sleep targeting. Add the diffuser for the most effective modality: scent. Each layer is optional, each one makes you more effective.
Use It Your Way
SomniCue works at every level. No extra hardware required — start with just the app, or go all in with the full system.
App Only
Mobile app with sound cues during study and manual sleep scheduling. No Smart Watch or diffuser needed.
App + Smart Watch
Add an Smart Watch for automatic deep sleep detection, silent haptic cues, and the Flicker Trigger gesture.
Full System
Add the Smart Diffuser for scent-based TMR — the most effective modality in the peer-reviewed research.

The App Is Already Working
A small group of testers have been using SomniCue with sound and haptic cues before launch.
“Set up sound cues while going through pharm flash cards, then napped for about 40 minutes with replay on. The recall afterwards felt a little different — like the answers came faster? Could just be the rest but I'm going to keep testing it.”
“Main concern was waking up my partner. The Watch haptics are really subtle — she had no idea. That alone sold me. Waiting on the diffuser to see the full effect.”
“Using it for Portuguese vocab. Honestly hard to tell if it's the app or just the extra consistency, but my recall in the morning does feel a bit sharper. Reserved my spot for the diffuser either way.”
“The app is clean for something pre-launch. Study mode is simple — just hit start and go. Cues run in the background and I barely notice them, which is apparently the point.”
“I think it works but I want to try the diffuser before I'm fully convinced. The Watch cues during naps are a nice touch though — my afternoon reviews have been smoother since I started.”
“I have ADHD so retaining what I study is always the hard part. The idea of reinforcing it during sleep makes a lot of sense. Felt like a small difference after a week — nothing dramatic, but enough to keep going.”
“Tried it during a weekend study sprint for my CPA. Three nights of sleep cues and the Monday practice exam went better than expected. Small sample size but I'm cautiously optimistic.”
“Love that it works with Smart Watch. I share a room so sound cues aren't an option — the vibration is perfect. Barely feel it but apparently that's all your brain needs.”
