## What is AcousticOwl?

Work out how many acoustic panels a room needs, and where to put them.

AcousticOwl models your room, predicts how it will sound, and designs a treatment plan you can actually buy and hang. It is built on published absorption data and standard acoustics formulas, not rules of thumb.

MEASURE THE ROOM
Scan it with LiDAR on a Pro iPhone and the floor plan builds itself, walls and corners included. No LiDAR, or an odd-shaped room? Draw the outline top-down in a few taps and set the ceiling height.

Photograph a wall and the app finds its windows and doors for you, then places them at the right size and height. The image analysis runs entirely on your device — the photo is never sent anywhere for processing.

SEE WHAT IS WRONG
- RT60 reverberation time per octave band, 125 Hz to 4 kHz, using Sabine or Eyring with ISO 9613-1 air absorption
- Your result charted against the recommended range for your room type, so "too live" is a number rather than an impression
- Room modes: axial, tangential and oblique standing waves for rectangular and near-rectangular rooms, so you know which bass notes will boom and which will disappear
- Every surface's contribution, so you can see whether the problem is the ceiling, the glass or the floor

GET A PLAN
Pick a room type — control room, home theater, podcast studio, live room, classroom, restaurant, gym and eleven more — and the planner designs a treatment layout for it. It works to that room type's target reverberation time, respects doors, windows and obstructions, and won't specify foam where fire codes forbid it.

You get panel positions on real walls, quantities, and a running cost. Build several plans over the same room and compare their predicted RT60 side by side before spending anything.

SEE IT IN THE ROOM
Sketch in 2D from above, then look at the finished room as a fully extruded 3D model with every panel where it will actually go.

REAL DATA
A catalog of surface materials and acoustic products carrying published octave-band absorption coefficients. Add your own materials and products when you're working with something the catalog doesn't cover, or when a manufacturer publishes their own figures.

SHARE IT
Designs sync to your account across devices. Send a read-only link and anyone can open your room and its plan in a browser, no account needed — useful for showing a client, a bandmate or a landlord what you're proposing.

WHO IT IS FOR
Home studio and project studio owners, podcasters, mixing and mastering engineers, home cinema builders, church and school AV teams, and anyone whose room sounds worse than their gear.

## Frequently asked questions about AcousticOwl

### How does AcousticOwl measure a room?

AcousticOwl can scan rooms using LiDAR on Pro iPhones to automatically build a floor plan. Alternatively, you can manually draw the room's outline and input the ceiling height.

### Does AcousticOwl have ads?

No, AcousticOwl is ad-free, allowing for an uninterrupted user experience while designing your acoustic treatments.

### What kind of acoustic data does AcousticOwl provide?

It calculates RT60 reverberation time per octave band, analyzes room modes (axial, tangential, oblique), and shows the contribution of each surface to the sound.

### Can I see what the acoustic treatment will look like?

Yes, AcousticOwl allows you to visualize the finished room as a 3D model with every panel placed exactly where it will go.

### How does AcousticOwl compare to rule-of-thumb methods?

AcousticOwl is built on published absorption data and standard acoustics formulas, offering more precise predictions than general rules of thumb.

### What room types can AcousticOwl design for?

It supports a wide range of room types including control rooms, home theaters, podcast studios, live rooms, classrooms, restaurants, gyms, and eleven more.

### Is AcousticOwl available on Android or desktop?

Currently, AcousticOwl is supported on iPhone devices, leveraging LiDAR capabilities for accurate room scanning.

### How often is AcousticOwl updated?

The latest version, 1.2.2, was released on October 13, 2026, indicating a commitment to ongoing development and improvements.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.2 — 2026-10-13

What's New

- Ceilings get their own step: sloped and vaulted ceilings, beams, soffits and sprinkler heads are all supported.
- New side views show speaker, ear and ceiling heights at a glance.
- New room types: Living room and Office, plus home theater seating.
- Smarter treatment plans that recommend fewer panels while still hitting your target.
- A simpler, cleaner editor with step icons, less text and easier dragging.
- Bug fixes and polish.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-10-03

Guitars
• Six instruments to place: acoustic, Les Paul, Fender, Flying V,
  semi-hollow, and a new bass — each drawn at its real length, so a
  bass stands taller than a guitar.
• Multi-guitar racks come out as a mix of finishes instead of five
  identical guitars.
• Rebuilt the single guitar stand, and a wall hanger now keeps the
  same hook when you swap one instrument for another.

Editing
• Duplicate a piece of furniture instead of placing it again.
• Each step only lets you select what that step is about, so
  furniture stays out of the way while you're adding windows or
  placing treatment.
• Trim controls collapse out of the way on the furniture step.

Fixes
• Open doorways are drawn as openings rather than doors.
• Clearer sign-in.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-28

The "share room" link was generating a link that did not work. New furniture options of guitar racks and wall mounted guitars.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-24

No release notes.
