Soothing Soundscapes & Play
Only for Mac
$0.99
Mac
Create your personal sanctuary of peace, focus, and deep sleep.
Specially designed for use with headphones and ear buds (if they are noise cancelling, all the better!).
Calming combines authentic, field-recorded natural soundscapes, precision-synthesized acoustic noise, guided box breathing, and an independent local music player into one seamless, tranquil experience.
Unlike standard sound apps that silence your music or force you into subscriptions, Calming features a dual independent audio engine: blend soothing natural rain, ocean swells, or campfire crackles underneath your favorite personal music albums with independent volume controls.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE CALMING
DUAL-STREAM AUDIO MIXING
Listen to ambient soundscapes and your personal music library simultaneously. Adjust individual volumes to achieve the perfect balance—whether you want gentle acoustic rain under your favorite instrumental album or deep brown noise while listening to study tracks.
9 AUTHENTIC SOUNDSCAPES & NOISE PROFILES
• Gentle Rain & Thunder: Soothing rainfall layered with soft, distant rolling thunder.
• Ocean Surf & Waves: Rhythmic Atlantic surf and seafoam washing over the shore.
• Forest Stream & Birds: A babbling mountain brook accompanied by distant songbirds.
• Campfire Crackle: Warm, comforting wood embers snapping in the evening quiet.
• Night Crickets & Breeze: Tranquil summer crickets chirping beneath a soft breeze.
• White Noise: Equal intensity across all frequencies; optimal for blocking distractions.
• Pink Noise: Deeper, balanced acoustic energy mimicking natural rainfall for restful sleep.
• Brown Noise: Deep, warm low-frequency rumble reminiscent of a distant waterfall.
• Purple Noise: High-frequency emphasis for crisp, airy ambient masking.
SEAMLESS GAPLESS LOOPING & SMOOTH CROSS-FADING
All ambient audio is mastered with uncompressed 16-bit PCM and circular boundary crossfades, guaranteeing zero clicks, gaps, pops, or pauses between loop cycles. Switching ambient sounds features automatic volume ramping for smooth, jarring-free cross-fading.
