Pillow works both online and offline, giving you flexibility depending on your situation. Here’s how its main features behave:
Does Pillow need an internet connection?
No. Core features like sleep tracking and cycle monitoring work fully offline. You don’t need to be connected to record your sleep.
What requires internet?
Only certain features, such as Sleep Aid recordings, which need a one-time internet connection to download the sounds. Once downloaded, they’ll play offline without any issues.
Apple Watch Automatic Mode
With Apple Watch, you can enable automatic, hands-free sleep tracking that works independently of the app and doesn’t require an internet connection.
Key points
Sleep tracking and analysis: always work offline.
Sleep Aid: internet only needed for the first download.
Apple Watch: automatic mode adds convenience without internet.
Pillow is designed to stay reliable and useful whether you’re online or offline.
