FAQ
Questions
How is Valo different from other sleep apps?
Most sleep apps give you one tool, like sounds or meditation. Valo gives you a full evening routine: app lock, Brain Dump, breathing and sleep sounds, each at the right time.
Is Valo Sleep free?
Yes. Every step of the routine is free, with some limits: 3 locked apps, 20 voice notes, the “Fall asleep” breathing exercise and 3 sleep sounds. Pro removes the limits.
Do I have to do every step?
No. Start with what helps you most. The app lock and the bedtime reminder work automatically.
How does the app lock work?
Valo uses Apple's Screen Time. You choose the apps. They lock one hour before your bedtime and open again one hour after you wake up.
What if I really need an app at night?
Breathe for 16 seconds and the app opens for 15 minutes. Once a week, you can also skip a whole night.
Can anyone read my thoughts?
No. Your thoughts are saved on your iPhone. If you use Pro transcription, only that one recording is sent, and it is deleted from our server right after.
Which phones does it work on?
iPhone with iOS 17 or later.
How do I cancel Pro?
Anytime, in your iPhone's Settings → your name → Subscriptions.
