The fade panel, skipping and stopping

The fade panel

When a fade starts, a small panel appears in the top-right corner of your screen and stays there while the volume goes down. It shows over full-screen video too.

• Skip to Next Video puts the volume back and lets this one play out. SleepFade fades the next video or episode instead.
• Stop for Tonight puts the volume back and doesn’t fade again until your next sleep hours.
• Do nothing and the fade continues. The × hides the panel without stopping the fade.

The panel closes by itself when the fade finishes.

Woke up? Just turn it up

If you turn the volume up during a fade, or after it has finished, SleepFade takes that to mean you’re awake. It:

• leaves your volume where you set it,
• doesn’t fade the rest of the current episode, if it’s nearly over,
• fades again when the next episode ends.

From the moon menu

The moon menu always shows what SleepFade is doing, with the buttons that make sense right now:

• Skip This One: don’t fade what’s playing.
• Off Tonight: no fading until tomorrow night. Turn Back On undoes it.
• Restore Volume: after a full fade, bring the volume straight back.
• The switch at the top turns SleepFade off completely.
