step into sound Odio is an Apple Design Award-winning spatial soundscape app that turns sound into a place you can enter. Settle into a soundscape as it was composed, or move its individual sounds to shape how it surrounds you. Place rain behind you, move a pulsing synth to your left, or let ocean waves settle across the room. With supported AirPods or Beats, Dynamic Head Tracking keeps the soundstage in place as you turn your head. The environment feels fixed around you rather than locked inside your headphones. artist-made audiovisual worlds Explore spatial albums built from tranquil nature recordings, ambient textures, rich synth compositions, and original visual work. Each album is created as a place to enter, with sound and image forming an atmosphere you can settle into. Odio is completely independent and works with sound and visual artists from around the world. We don’t use AI-generated catalog content: every visual and 3D audio soundscape is made by artists. listen your way Odio rewards attention without demanding it. Listen closely and explore every spatial detail, reshape the soundstage to make it personal, or let the composition settle into the background. Find soundscapes for deep work, meditation, winding down, quiet mornings, late nights, or simply experiencing sound in a different way. create with composer Composer gives you a spatial soundstage for your own audio. Import sounds from your favorite DAW or record directly in Odio, then trim, preview, and arrange them in space. Share your finished soundscapes with others.

Cratedex is where you say what you thought of an album, and find out what everyone else thinks. Rate one, write a few lines about it, pick your top songs, and score the tracks if you want to go deeper. Everything lands in your journal, newest first, so a year from now you can see what you were playing and what you thought of it. Pick four albums for your profile, the ones you want people to know you by, and keep a queue for what to hear next. Star an artist and their releases sit one tap from Home. Follow your friends to see what they've been rating. Their reviews sit under every album next to yours, so you can like the ones you agree with and say something in the comments. The chart shows what everyone's been playing this week. Cratedex is on the web too, at cratedex.com. It's free, with no ads and no tracking. Every review and comment can be reported, and anything that breaks the community rules comes down.
