## What is Non ◦ Sound Meditation?

An alternative to structured meditation platforms, Non uses sound to develop the practice of active listening and invite deepened states of consciousness.

Non produces each sound note by note, making no two sessions ever alike. The soundscapes heard are not pre-recorded—they are uniquely yours in that moment.

A lack of familiarity with each passing note means you may approach each session unclouded by expectation—using sound as your guide for self-exploration.

GENERATIVE SOUND MEDITATIONS
Beneath Non’s surface is a nuanced algorithm that intelligently generates sounds based on your desired energy level, environment, time of day, and motion. Each session generates a unique audio composition based on these variables. Non’s generative algorithm is the key to the app’s diversity of sound.

CALMING OR FOCUSING
To begin each session, you select your desired energy level. Whether you seek calming tones to induce sleep, sonic stimulation to help focus at work, or an auditory vanishing point to guide an existing meditation practice or psychedelic journey, Non responds with a unique sound meditation tailored to your intent.

A DIVERSITY OF SOUND
Non offers a unique blend of organic and synthesized sounds—drawing from contemporary minimal music, traditional world instrumentation, ASMR, and electroacoustic production. This breadth of musical inspiration, combined with extensive sound research, affords a multi-layered yet cohesive experience.

ADAPTIVE VISUALS
Based on your current location and position relative to the sun, Non’s user interface adapts to reflect the tone of that particular time of day. This response to your surroundings inspires a direct connection to the ever-changing nature of your physical world.

MINIMAL BY DESIGN
Stripped of buttons and an overwhelming library of options, Non strives for simplicity and immediacy. An experience tonally suited for meditation, alleviating your paradox of choice. 

TACTILE AND CONNECTIVE
With haptic feedback, each gesture fully integrates with your experience. Any movement of your device directly impacts the sound you hear.

### 5/5 — 잉??

*2026-01-21*

이거 어케 해요?아니 생긴거랑 다 이쁘거덩여??근데 오늘 엄마 몰래 깔아서 어떻게 하는지 잘 모르겠네요
그리구요 튜토리얼?이 넘 길어요
오늘도 화이팅 하세요!!

### 4/5 — Unique app with couple of flaws

*2025-09-22, version 2.0.9*

This app is truly one of a kind, but there are 2 things that keep bothering me for a long time:
1. The meditation often just goes silent, which is annoying and sort of denotes the point of meditation because you have to pause/unpause it multiple times or restart it before it continues which makes me anti-relaxed at times. Couple years ago there was no such bug. Maybe that just happens to iPhone 13 pro, but still. Annoying 
2. I have an exploration level 4, but I wish I could go back to 1 because I liked it more. Now there are lots of sounds of pipes and waters on level 4, but at level 1 you would get coolest cinematic sound effects which I would like to go back to.

Still the app is great because it's so unique, I wish at least pt. 1 was fixed and I would give it 5 stars (or even 6 if I could - that's how great it is).

### 5/5 — Спасибо

*2025-04-19, version 2.0.6*

Это самое лучшее, самое прекрасное, спасибо вам за это

### 5/5 — An excellent tool for meditation

*2024-07-14, version 2.0.6*

I am so grateful to have found this app. It is the best tool for meditation out there that I've encountered. I love the diverse palette of sounds, the option to choose the peak intensity of each session, and the uniqueness of each session, not to mention the beautiful design and ease of use. Thank you so much, Non, for sharing access to this useful and beautiful tool!

### 4/5 — WINDOWS DESKTOP VERSION

*2024-06-03, version 2.0.6*

Love it this app so much, love the minimalism, love the simplicity just wish they had a desktop version🙏

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2024-04-18, version 2.0.6*

Almost cried. This is beautiful

### 1/5 — App abandoned?

*2024-03-19, version 2.0.6*

Looks like this app has been abandoned. I subscribed for two years and have contacted the developer and never received a response. The app doesn’t seem to gain features or anything else in active development. The price is high for something that doesn’t get updates or responses or anything.

### 1/5 — Do not purchase this app

*2023-11-12, version 2.0.6*

At one time I would’ve given this app 10 out of 10. I had such a variety of sounds like bells, water, etc. A huge array of unusual sounds. It was amazing and a delight! It was also expensive but worth it. Now it is just a dim shadow of the original app. (2 out of 10 but only because at least it has drones) All it does is drone and it’s missing all the other sounds it used to have! It’s obvious that the developer has stopped working on it quite a while ago. It’s a shame when a developer doesn’t update their apps, especially after you pay a hefty lifetime subscription fee. Shame on them! Do not buy this app until you see that it is recently updated!!! (Less than 6 months)

### 3/5 — Good But Still Needs Bug Fixes

*2023-10-22, version 2.0.6*

I am using this app in the paid membership. It is good and a nice company for my focus session. With the head tracking feature I am really enjoying it. However, the app crashes often, or sometimes I have to "force close and open" it to get it working without a problem. I once canceled my membership because of that but again I got back. Although the crashes and bugs are still annoying me.

### 5/5 — Meaningful, every second

*2023-10-20, version 2.0.6*

Still the best sound app for everyone who is looking for not yet another pre produced linear sound app.

NON delivers unbeatable, unrepeated deep state sounds in an always surprising manner to be weaved into an integral routine - which comes from within.

The ease of use is art, constant care and stability over iOS updates and development of new features like the sensational 3D traction are worth every Euro if you see and experience NON as a treatment. 

I am just grateful for having this piece in my life. 🫶🏻
