A singing bowl, always in your pocket. Pick a bowl, add a layer of nature underneath it, set the level of each, and let it play. No account, no ads, no internet. Built to get out of the way — for meditation, yoga, focus, sound baths, breathwork, or sleep. TWO BOWLS • Tibetan Bowls — warm, metallic, grounding • Crystal Bowls — bright, clear, long-sustaining FOUR AMBIENT LAYERS Blend one underneath the bowls, or listen to the bowls alone: • Storm — distant thunder and rain • River — moving water • Ocean — slow waves • Forest — wind and leaves MIX IT YOURSELF Separate volume sliders for the bowls and the ambience. Set the storm to a whisper under the bowls, or bring it forward and let the bowls ring underneath. Switching layers crossfades instead of cutting. Your levels are remembered. SLEEP TIMER 5 minutes, 15, 30, 1 hour, or 2 hours. The sound fades away gently at the end rather than stopping dead, so the silence doesn't wake you. Pause the audio and the timer pauses too. BUILT FOR LONG SESSIONS • Seamless loops — long recordings with the loop point hidden inside, not a short clip cycling every few seconds. • Completely offline. Nothing streams, so it works anywhere. • Plays in the background and from the lock screen, with the bowl and layer named in Now Playing. • Take a call or pull out your headphones and the session picks back up properly. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No sign-up, no ads, no analytics, no data collected. Everything it plays is already on your device.
