Latest Mac release is a catchup, not a well designed product
Endel is a “no brainer” when it comes to finding an ambient soundtrack to accompany your areas of focus in life, however the latest Mac release falls short in design and usability. This latest version feels merely like an attempt at catching up to the iOS versions feature set, while sacrificing usability and adding lots of annoyances.
The app used to seamlessly mix and flow between sound sets as you adjusted the mood to your liking. Now the sound just abruptly stops before advancing, making the app feel more like an audio player and not something well crafted.
It is not as fast and responsive as it used to be, and takes a while to load up the main features. It should really be more snappy, and the controls and main features should be within the first 1-2 clicks of opening the app.
I’m not sure if this is a poorly executed Electron app translation of what used to feel more Mac native. I hope the developers can make the app more of a first-class experience that we strive for on the Mac.
Also Shortcuts app integration on macOS is no longer working.

Deceiving
They tricked me with an ad that has a song called “Old Cassette” and it’s not even on the app. I just canceled my annual subscription.

False advertising
So I saw ads for this on Instagram and the music they were playing on their ads was phenomenal. And then I got the app and I paid for it and I’ve gone through every single function possible and the music absolutely sucks and it’s not the same. This is false advertising at its worst.

Helps focus with ADHD
I have ADHD. When I use Endel for getting work done I can work longer and more consistently; which is great for when I just can’t get myself to lock in on a piece of work. That being said, I think the $40 fee I paid was a bit pricey for a year, $40 lifetime would be a much better investment. And also the use of AI feels a bit uneasy. Overall great app for focusing with ADHD though.
