Put your headphones on and tap one. These are four of the 255 sounds in the app, from rain to brown noise.
Videos from featured ASMR creators, and any YouTube channel you add yourself. Loop your favourite part, or queue videos to Watch Later.
Layer rain under tapping under brushing, each with its own volume. Record your own sounds too.
Chain mixes and sounds, each for as long as you choose, with a background sound underneath.
Bedtime stories, spooky tales, ASMR channels and affirmations, with a seek bar and lock-screen controls.
With Premium, set a time on any mix, playlist, video or podcast. The sound fades out and stops on its own, so you can drift off.

Tingles ASMR started as a personal project by one ASMR fan, who wanted the videos, sounds and podcasts they loved in one calm place. It's still a labour of love for the ASMR community. That's why every sound, mix, playlist, video and podcast is free, and why there are no ads.
Premium is an optional subscription that adds quality-of-life features on top of that free library: Sleep Mode, Smart Mix, video Loop and no limits on your own mixes. Its subscribers are what keep the app running for everyone.
What's free, and what Premium addsThe same person who built Tingles ASMR reads every message sent from the app and replies to each one. Trigger ideas, feature requests and bug reports all shape what comes next. In the app, open the menu and tap Send Feedback.
