iPhone
Sounds that move. A mind that follows.
Most "8D audio" is one stereo file with a panning effect baked in. Whorl works differently: every layer is a separate source, spatialized live on your iPhone as it orbits your head. That is why you can change the speed mid-session, why head tracking works, and why each layer can circle at its own pace.
PICK A GOAL, PRESS PLAY
- De-stress: slow, wide orbits to unwind
- Focus: steady motion for deep work
- Sleep: a low, dark drift with a fade-out timer
- Overthinking: bilateral motion and gentle alternating taps
MOTION AND COMFORT, ALWAYS FREE
Choose Orbit, Sway, gentle Drift, or Still, at Gentle, Standard, or Deep intensity. If the motion ever feels like too much, dial it down or stop it entirely. These controls are never behind the paywall.
MADE FOR HEADPHONES
- True spatial audio on real 3D paths, rendered in real time

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Whorl 0.4.0 — 402 soundscapes, and something to look at.
• Tone centers: the nine solfeggio frequencies plus 432 Hz, each voiced three
ways — pure, fifth, or a warm pad — and pairable with any texture bed.
• 402 soundscapes in total, every one synthesised on your device. Nothing
streams, nothing downloads, and it all works in airplane mode.
• A blend plays its tone and its bed as two separate orbiting sources, so they
circle you at different points.
• New Metal visualiser: four calm scenes — Liquid, Bokeh, Waves and Ripples —
moving with the orbit rather than reacting to it.
• Record a 20-second clip of the live scene with your session's audio, and
share it anywhere.
Tuning references, not treatment. Best with headphones.
