## What is poBAS?

Bilateral ambient soundscapes designed for relaxation, focus, sleep, meditation, and quiet reflection.

Whether you're settling in for the night, studying, working, or simply taking a moment to slow down, poBAS provides seamlessly looping ambient soundscapes that can play for as long as you need them. Use the built-in session timer or let the audio continue uninterrupted while you focus on the moment.

Bilateral ambient soundscapes designed for relaxation, focus, sleep, meditation, and quiet reflection.

poBAS provides seamlessly looping ambient soundscapes that you can make your own. Every soundscape begins with a simple, generic name so you can rename it however you like, creating a personal library that feels familiar and meaningful to you.

Organize your library using customizable Filters. Use the included Calm, Focus, Recovery, and Rest Filters, assign any combination of them to each soundscape, create entirely new Filters, or edit the existing ones to match the way you think and listen.

Choose from a variety of app themes to create an environment that feels right for you.

When you're ready to listen, there are two ways to begin:

**Choose Destination** lets you select a single soundscape and loop it continuously for a session of your chosen length.

**Plan Journey** creates a guided listening session by randomly selecting soundscapes tagged with the Filter you choose. Select a Filter, choose your session length, and decide how long each soundscape should play before poBAS transitions to another randomly selected matching soundscape.
