Pause and disconnect, your way

Control your audio and your Bluetooth connection.

Pause playback, disconnect selected devices, or do both when the timer ends. Each action has its own control, so your timer can do exactly what you choose.

Test device compatibility in the app before setting up your first disconnect timer.

Made for listening in bed

For whatever you fall asleep to.

Sleep headphones and headbands

End the connection to the headband you fell asleep in. Some models then power down on their own.

Speaker sleep masks

Stop the story at a set time without reaching for your phone in the dark.

Earbuds

Pause the audiobook or podcast, then disconnect, so nothing keeps streaming to them overnight.

Bedside speakers

Let the last song fade out, then pause and disconnect the speaker when the timer ends.

When the countdown reaches zero

What happens at 0:00.

The end actions run in a fixed order. Each step is saved before the next begins, so the app can continue after an interruption and report exactly what happened.

  1. −0:15

    Fade out

    Media volume is lowered gradually during the final 15 seconds, adjusted once a second. Optional, and only when media pause is on.

  2. 0:00

    Safety check

    If a call or another communication session is active, the end actions are skipped instead of interrupting you.

    Automatic
  3. 0:00

    Pause

    A standard media pause command goes to the active player. Whether playback stops depends on the player and Android.

    Pause media
  4. ≤ +0:10

    Disconnect

    Each selected device is disconnected in turn through Android 17’s public Bluetooth API. The app checks for up to five seconds that the connection dropped, and tries once more if it did not.

    Reconnect Guard

    For two minutes, the app checks every second and disconnects a selected device again if it reconnects. It never reconnects devices afterward.

    Settings · Optional

Then the result screen reports one of these outcomes:

  • Timer complete
  • Timer partially completed
  • Timer needs attention
  • Timer skipped for safety

After a fade, the original media volume level is restored. Pausing depends on the active player, and disconnection depends on Android and the accessory.

How it works

Set the timer. Choose the result. Relax.

  1. Set up a device if needed

    For disconnection, connect your accessory, open Devices and choose Manage connected device. Approve it through Android, run Test compatibility and save. Pause only works without a managed Bluetooth device.

  2. Choose the result

    Choose a duration. Use Pause media when the timer ends and Devices to disconnect to set pause, disconnection or both. Fade out is configured in Settings.

  3. Let the timer run

    Keep listening. The app requests your chosen actions at the end and shows what happened.

Specifications

The technical details.

Built on public Android 17 APIs. No root access is needed, and your phone’s Bluetooth stays on.

Platform
Android 17 or later (API 37)Minimum and target SDK 37, for the public per-device disconnect API the app relies on.
Device approval
Companion Device ManagerYou approve each accessory once through Android’s own dialog. Only approved, paired devices can be disconnected.
Disconnect
Per device, then verifiedDisconnects only the devices you choose and confirms the connection dropped. Bluetooth stays on for everything else.
Compatibility test
10-second hold, then reconnectDisconnects the device, confirms it stays disconnected for ten seconds, then checks whether Android can reconnect it.
Timing
Exact alarmsRunning timers follow the device’s elapsed-time clock, so changing the clock doesn’t shift them. Schedules follow your local time, including daylight-saving changes.
Resilience
Saved action planEach timer’s plan is stored before it runs, so it can continue if Android stops the app in the background. A timer interrupted by a phone restart is reported, not run late.
Call safety
Skips during callsIf a call or communication session is active when the timer ends, nothing is paused or disconnected, and the result says so.
Durations
1 minute to 5 hoursPresets of 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes, a custom duration, and +15 minutes while a timer runs.
Permissions
Nearby devices and notificationsNo location or Bluetooth scanning permission. The app uses exact alarms so timers end on time.
Data
Stored on your phoneTimers, devices and schedules stay in a local database that is excluded from cloud backup. No app account, ads or usage analytics.

Before you drift off

Why does it need Android 17?

Selected-device disconnection uses public Android 17 APIs and Android’s Companion Device Manager. The app requires Android 17 or later.

Does it turn off my phone’s Bluetooth?

No. It disconnects only the approved devices you select. Bluetooth stays on, so a watch or another accessory you didn’t select stays connected.

Can I disconnect a device without pausing my audiobook?

Yes. Media pause and selected-device disconnection have separate controls. Turn off Pause media when the timer ends and select the device under Devices to disconnect for Disconnect only.

Will it turn my headphones or sleep mask off?

It requests disconnection of approved devices. Some accessories then switch themselves off, but power-off behavior depends on the accessory and is not guaranteed.

Will the timer still run if Android closes the app?

Yes. The timer’s plan is saved and its end is set with an exact alarm, so it can run even if Android stops the app in the background. If the phone restarts during a timer, the app reports the timer as interrupted instead of running it late.

What if I’m on a call when the timer ends?

The app checks for an active call or communication session first. If one is active, it skips the end actions rather than interrupting you, and the result shows Timer skipped for safety.

Does it work with every media app?

The app attempts to pause active media. Whether the request succeeds depends on Android, the media app and your accessory. Try your setup while awake; the app reports the outcome.

Where does my data go?

Timers, device selections and preferences stay in the app’s local storage. Google Play and RevenueCat process optional purchases. Release builds use limited Firebase Crashlytics diagnostics. See the privacy policy for details.

Let your listening wind down.

Set the timer, choose your devices and make room for rest.
