Your day, connected

The next step.
And the bigger picture.

A shift changes more than bedtime. See what is happening today and how it fits into your week.

Today

Start with what
matters now.

Your next shift, your sleep and a useful next step, together. Log what happened and adjust a particular day when life changes.

Actual app screens with example data. Rhythm, caffeine and light outputs are estimates. Premium adds personalized daily planning and advanced Atlas views.

A closer look at Atlas

The science is there.
You can look inside.

Explore your estimated rhythm, switch to an alertness view, and see sleep, work, caffeine, meals and light alongside it. Open the detail to understand what shaped the picture.

RecordedEstimatedPlanned
Context from your actual life

Your shifts, sleep and daily records sit together, alongside activity and heart-rate history from connected health services.

A plan you can explore

Compare possibilities, save a scenario and revisit it as your week changes. A planned routine stays distinct from what you actually logged.

How do the estimates work?

Body-clock timing. Atlas includes the Forger, Jewett and Kronauer circadian model to explore how your internal rhythm develops over time.

Sleep pressure and caffeine. Sleep pressure builds across wakefulness and falls during sleep. Caffeine has its own decay curve and contributes to the alertness estimate. Meal logs add context alongside these calculations.

Circadian light. CIE-derived light calculations combine estimated lux, source type and colour temperature to produce modeled melanopic EDI.

Open the source details to see the method in use and the timing, coverage and freshness of the records behind it.

Days-off planning in Atlas

Days off
change the plan.

Compare staying on nights, shifting partway or switching fully around your actual dates. Bring your next shift and commitments into the decision, then save the approach you want to revisit.

Capture and connect

Less typing.
More of your day.

Use your phone to bring the drink, the meal and the light around you into the picture.

Food and drink barcode lookup

Scan the package.
Make the record yours.

Look up a packaged drink or food, check the serving, then add it to your day. You can also build meals from everyday ingredients and reuse your own recipes.

Find the product

Scan a barcode to look up a packaged food or drink.

Check what you had

Confirm the portion, nutrition or caffeine information and fill in what is missing.

Put it in your day

Log when you ate or drank it. Keep future meals as plans until they happen.

Light, with more detail

Get to know
your light.

Capture a camera or phone-sensor estimate, review the source and save the reading. The white-paper method helps you check the light where your eyes actually are.

Photopic lux
An estimate of visible-light illuminance: how much light reaches the surface you are checking.
Melanopic EDI
Modeled circadian-light context using the light source and colour temperature.

Supported iPhone cameras can estimate colour temperature. You can also enter it from a known source or meter. Melanopic EDI is modeled, not a direct spectral measurement. Save a snapshot, or confirm the time spent in comparable light to record an exposure interval.

Ask the NightOwling team
Who is NightOwling for?

NightOwling is the app for people who work nights, rotating or irregular shifts: starting your first nights, years into them, or moving between shifts and days off. It's built around the hours you actually work and the life around them, including family, care and appointments.

What does NightOwling actually help me with?

More than sleep. Plan when to sleep, eat and have caffeine around your shifts, log what happened, and see it together in the Circadian Atlas. You can also find options for a darker, quieter sleep space, pick up tips from short videos and guides, and show people at home when you're working or sleeping.

Do I need a wearable?

No. You can start with your shift schedule and quick manual logs for sleep, caffeine, meals and light, and the basic planning tools work without any device. If you already use a phone or watch that records health data, Premium can bring supported records in later, with your permission.

Does it work with Apple Health, Health Connect or my watch?

With Premium, the supported iPhone app can import permitted records from Apple Health, and the Android app from Health Connect. A watch works only if its data reaches those services, so not every device or metric is guaranteed. Connections don't work in a web browser, and you choose which data types to allow.

What's free, and what does Premium cost?

Basic is free: manual logs, the basic Atlas chart, basic results from all six planning tools and starter learning. Premium adds personalized planning, days-off comparisons, saved routines, longer history, the full learning library and supported health connections. It's US$8.99 monthly, or US$79.99 billed once a year (about $6.67 a month); it renews unless canceled. Local prices and taxes may vary; review the price and terms at checkout.

What if my shifts rotate, change or run late?

NightOwling supports regular, rotating and changing schedules. Add your actual shifts, then where offered, use My day changed to update one date, like a late finish or extra shift, without rewriting your usual pattern. Guidance follows the schedule you give, so check it when your week changes. Premium adds days-off comparisons.

How does NightOwling work out its suggestions?

It draws on published circadian and sleep research and the information you add: shifts, sleep, caffeine, meals, light and any permitted health data. Rhythm, caffeine and light results are estimates, not body measurements, and depend on the quality and amount of data. The Atlas shows what each estimate is based on.

Is NightOwling medical advice?

No. NightOwling supports general wellness and planning. It isn't a medical device, doesn't diagnose or treat conditions, and can't tell you whether you're safe to drive or work. Follow your workplace fatigue procedures, and if tiredness or sleep problems persist or affect your safety, talk to a qualified health professional.

Who can see my data? Can my employer?

For workplace accounts, eligible employer health views use group summaries under privacy thresholds rather than unrestricted personal logs. Other profile, schedule or program information may be visible to the organization. You choose which optional connections and sharing features to use. Read the NightOwling privacy policy for the details that apply to your account. Read the privacy policy.

Can I share my schedule with people at home?

Yes. Share my week lets you pick the dates and what to show, preview it, then send a link so a partner or housemate can see when you're working or need quiet time. Anyone with the link can view it, so share it carefully. You can extend or stop the link later.

My workplace offers NightOwling. How does that work?

Use the invitation from your organization to join. What's included depends on your workplace's program, so check You > Plan and billing before buying an individual subscription; you may already have the access you need. Workplace benefits can differ from individual Premium.

Is there an iPhone or Android app, and when can anyone sign up?

Right now, new accounts need an invitation or eligible workplace access, and invited users can use the web app in a phone or computer browser. Public signup opens when NightOwling launches. App Store and Google Play links will appear here once the apps are publicly available; health connections need the mobile app.

Can I use NightOwling with ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini?

NightOwling connects your planning tools and chosen context with the AI assistant you use. Ask about your shifts, compare sleep or caffeine scenarios, and work through options in conversation. With your permission, supported updates can be saved back to NightOwling.

AI connections are in private preview. ChatGPT and Claude connections have been tested; Gemini access is not enabled yet. Other AI assistants need a compatible connection.

You choose what a connection can access and can revoke it in NightOwling. Manage information already shared in the AI service’s own chat history and privacy settings.
