Somnia — Applications project by The Hitek Agency

Client: Somnia Wellness
Industry: Health and wellness
Our role: iOS and Android app design and development
Platforms: iOS and Android

The challenge

Somnia's idea was technically demanding: an app that records overnight audio, syncs with wearable devices, and turns the night's data into sleep cycle analytics a tired user can understand in seconds.

The interface had to work against every instinct of a typical health app. It is used in the dark, half asleep, so anything bright, busy or clinical would undermine the very thing the product promises: better rest.

Our approach

We built both the iOS and Android applications, engineering the overnight recording and wearable sync to run reliably in the background while the user sleeps.

For the interface, we chose a calming dark design and presented analytics as gentle, personalised wellness charts rather than clinical tables. The data is serious; the experience of reading it at 7am should not be.

What we built

01
Overnight audio recording
The app records through the night to capture sleep sounds and disturbances, the raw material for meaningful sleep insight.
02
Wearable device sync
Data from wearables flows into the same picture, so users see one complete view of their night, not fragments across apps.
03
Sleep cycle analytics
Nightly cycles are analysed and visualised clearly, helping users spot patterns in their rest over time.
04
Personalised wellness charts
Charts adapt to the individual, turning raw sleep data into guidance that feels personal rather than generic.
05
Calming dark interface
Designed for nighttime use: soft, dark and quiet, so checking the app never works against falling asleep.
