Odio – Immersive Ambient

Control your soundscape

View

Apple Design Award winner Odio gives you powerful tools to create your own ambient soundscapes for better sleep, relaxation, focus, and productivity.

What we love: Odio uses Spatial Audio and head tracking on compatible headphones to create truly immersive experiences. Select a soundscape and blend your choice of nature sounds—rainfall, a babbling creek, deep-sea rumble—with a range of original ambient music. New soundscapes are added monthly, and subscriptions directly support the composers in the app.

Dragging a sound around the circle alters not only its volume but also its position in the mix. Feel free to move that rushing waterfall a bit farther behind you.

Quick tip: You can customize the sonic elements of any composition by swiping up from the bottom of the screen when a soundscape is playing. Once you’ve created the perfect mix, you’ll find it autosaved on the Sessions tab on the app’s main screen.

Meet the creator: According to Odio cofounder and designer Roger Kemp, Odio is geared toward two audiences. “We have people who say, ‘I just want to zone out, get into the flow, or sleep better.’ But we also have creators who want to make Odio their own,” he says. “The bare essence is a blank canvas where the artist and listener can do whatever they want with a soundscape.”
