Our Difference
Why Tethered is unlike any other sleep or relaxation app
More than just an app, Tethered is a doorway to calm, rest and connection, inspired by Scotland’s quiet landscapes and deep rooted stories. Whether you know Scotland or you're discovering it for the first time, Tethered offers a truly different experience, one built for rest, rooted in atmosphere, and designed to soothe.
What Makes Tethered Different
Sleep & Relaxation First - Always
Most apps focus on meditation, tracking or quick sessions. Tethered starts with sleep and relaxation, letting you unwind, breathe out, and drift off naturally. Everything we create is designed to calm your nervous system, quiet your mind, and give you rest first, not productivity, not self tracking, not busywork.
Because your body deserves rest before anything else.
Scotland as a Sanctuary, for Everyone
Scotland isn’t just for people with Scottish roots it’s for anyone seeking calm. Wide coasts, quiet lochs, drizzly moors, soft voices, folklore - Scotland naturally invites slow breathing, gentle thoughts, and rest. Whether you feel connected to Scotland or are completely new, Tethered offers a peaceful “escape” grounded in landscape, culture, and calm.
Story, Sound & Soul - A Unique Blend
Tethered isn’t just about sleep tracks or ambient noise. We weave together:
immersive sleep stories and Dreamscapes inspired by real Scottish places, legends, and weather
relaxing music and ambient soundscapes - rain, waves, forest breezes, lochs at dusk
soft narration and cultural storytelling - folklore, heritage, and meaningful atmospheres
This blended approach helps you relax, entertains your mind, and carries you gently toward rest, giving you richness, comfort, and calm at the same time.
Flexible & Gentle - Use When You Really Need It

Our Approach: Thoughtful, Compassionate & Human
We know many people have tried apps, only to abandon them when life gets busy or the practice feels forced. That’s why Tethered is built not on pressure or perfection, but on comfort, calm, and consistency. Many listeners tell us:
“It’s the first sleep/relaxation app I’ve actually stuck with.”
We prioritise a human, warm approach over flashy features, because real rest comes from feeling safe, not from ticking boxes.
