Mix your perfect soundscape
Layer up to 10 sounds at once with individual volume controls. Rain, wind, fire, water, birds and more, including an electric fan and white, pink and brown noise for deep focus and sleep.
- 29 ambient sounds across 11 categories
- Per-sound volume with a simple drag gesture
- All audio stored on device, no streaming
A visual that breathes with your mix
Every sound brings the screen to life. Fire embers, drifting rain, fireflies and a warm cabin lantern shift in real time with what you're playing. Calming by sight as well as sound.
- Reactive scenes: a forest, alpine mountains and a fireside cabin
- Animation responds to the sounds you layer
- Tap to view any scene full screen, or drag down to expand
A scene for every mood
Switch between calming dark scenes and bright daytime ones with a single tap. Wake to a sunlit mountain valley or wind down under a starlit forest, whatever suits the moment.
- Light and dark themes across every scene
- Snow-capped mountains, a fireside cabin, forests and night skies
- The whole app shifts with your chosen mood
Guided breathing, beautifully paced
Slow down with an animated pacer that guides every inhale, hold and exhale. Choose the technique that fits the moment, from a quick reset to winding down for sleep.
- Box Breathing, 4-7-8, Coherent Breathing, the Physiological Sigh and a 2:1 sleep breath
- A soft, ocean-like sound rises and falls with each breath, so you can pace with your eyes closed
- Unguided timer with gong, bell and singing bowl, plus session stats
Meditate with a voice to guide you
Settle in with calming guided meditations led by a narrator. From a short reset to a slow wind-down for sleep, there is a session for the moment, in a voice that suits you.
- Sleep, stress, body scans, self-compassion and gratitude
- Two warm voices, Samantha and Adam, from 3 to 30 minutes
- A free guided meditation, plus a free unguided timer with a gong
Stories that wind down as you do
Let a calm narrated story carry you off. Each is told slowly in a single, soothing voice and pairs with your own ambient mix, so the room stays soft as you drift.
- The Night Train, The Lighthouse, The Cabin in the Snow and The Garden at Dusk
- Told slowly in one calm voice, winding down toward the end
- Pairs with your own soundscape and the sleep timer
Drift off, then wake up gently
Calming night scenes and your own soundscape help you fall asleep, and keep playing with the screen off. A built-in alarm wakes you to a saved mix instead of a jarring tone.
- Sleep timer fades out gently after 1 to 720 minutes
- A drifting counting-sheep layer, free on every scene
- Background playback with the screen off, plus a home-screen widget

Does audio keep playing when the screen is off?
