Every journey is now free to play in a short version of up to 12 minutes, with the full length on Pro. Set your own tone for any journey from the Sound card, and it's remembered. Two new 15-minute Pro journeys, one for focus and one for meditation, plus a shorter setup.

A smoother player: pull it down to close, and the controls stay pinned at the top while you scroll.

A new player that shows where you are in your journey: the band you're in, the phase you're in and what comes next. Skip between phases, tune the sound in one place, and start from a new Home that picks a journey for the time of day.

10 new journeys, including Quiet Mind for racing thoughts, 432 Hz Deep Sleep, Night Train, Nap & Rise and 18 → 40 Hz Deep Work. Plus 5 new scenes: rain on a car roof, a snowbound cabin, a night train, a forest stream and handpan.

Build your own journey in a few guided steps: shape the frequency, pick a background sound and preview it before you save. Plus small fixes and polish.

A simpler journey builder: every step is now a compact card you can play or edit with one tap. Plus small fixes and polish.

Smoother journeys. We fixed the brief audio dropouts that could interrupt playback as a journey moved between steps — your session now plays straight through.

This update brings general improvements and refinements throughout the app for a smoother, more polished experience.

SIX NEW MEDITATIVE SOUNDS — AND AN ONBOARDING YOU CAN HEAR Ethereal Spa, Floating Resonance, Quiet Temple, Warm Aura, Stillness and Soft Harmonics join rain, ocean and the rest. The sound picker is now sorted into Noise, Nature and Meditative, so the one you want is easy to find. New to the app? Onboarding now lets you hear a binaural beat instead of just reading about one: slide across the bands, delta to gamma, and listen to the rhythm shift under your finger. And the player gets a slow, drifting halo of light around its ring. Plus small fixes and polish throughout.

PRO UNLOCKS INSTANTLY — AND WORKS OFFLINE Opening the app used to mean waiting on a network check before the builder and the rest of Pro would respond. Now the app remembers what you own, so it's ready the moment you are — on a plane, in a tunnel, or with no signal at all — and re-checks quietly in the background. Plus small fixes and polish throughout.

BACKDROP MODE Journeys can now play underneath whatever else you are listening to — a podcast, an album, a call. Turn it on during onboarding or in Settings. While it is mixing, the app hands the lock screen controls back to the other app rather than fighting it for them. EIGHT MORE LANGUAGES German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Traditional Chinese. WHAT THE BANDS ACTUALLY ARE A guide to delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma — what each band is, and what it is not. For anyone who wants more than a one-line label. Also: a copyable user ID in Settings, for the times support needs it.
