About

Margis

Features
Read full description

Keep tinnitus at the edge. Margis is a personal audio system built around four integrated tools: focused frequency sessions, adjustable noise, curated sound libraries, and a journal with PDF export. It does not force you into a fixed experience. Instead, it helps you create the sound environment that works best for you, whether you are concentrating, relaxing, reading, or preparing for sleep. The Natural, Ambient, and Music libraries combine freely with noise controls, allowing each listening experience to become more personal. The Music section is designed to be pleasant, not only useful. Many people with tinnitus use sound as part of their evening routine. Margis makes it easy to build gentle background soundscapes that can accompany quiet moments, rest, or bedtime listening. The journal helps you observe patterns over time and gather your entries into a clear PDF report that you can review yourself or share with your doctor. Available in 7 languages, Margis is yours to keep, with updates included.
