Some songs end too soon. Woon keeps them going. Play a song and let it run endlessly, folded back on itself so smoothly that the moment it starts again slips right past you. The drums keep moving. The atmosphere stays. After a while, you forget it was ever going to end. WHY IT FEELS DIFFERENT Repeat takes you from the ending back to the beginning. You hear the transition, and it pulls you out. Woon listens to the whole song first, finds places where it can come back around smoothly, and joins it there. Often, you simply cannot tell where the loop is. DON'T REPEAT IT. TRAVEL IT. Journey Mode goes beyond a single loop. Woon travels through the song, staying with a verse for a while, moving on, and coming back around with smooth transitions. A four-minute song becomes a place you can stay all afternoon. Try it on the built-in track the moment you open the app. Just tap TRAVEL THE SONG. MORE THAN ONE WAY TO LIVE INSIDE A SONG Woon finds different ways to loop your music. The whole song. The stretch around the chorus. The quiet part you always wished lasted longer. Each option comes with a clear quality rating. Pick the one you want to stay inside, or press play and let Woon choose the best one. TURN THE SONG YOU LOVE INTO THE SONG YOU FOCUS TO Ever wished your favourite song had an instrumental version? VOICE DOWN brings the singer into the background so you can focus on the music. Explore further with DRUMS DOWN, MELODY ONLY or BASS SOLO. All processing happens on your device. Some songs retain a faint trace of the voice, and Woon tells you when they do. MADE FOR STAYING * Endless play. When you release the loop, the song finishes naturally. * Hear the join. Jump straight to the loop point and judge it yourself. * Shape your sound with deep bass, wide space, mono fold, channel swap and a five-band equaliser. * Set a sleep timer that finishes the current pass and stops at the loop point, never mid-phrase. * Woon learns which parts of your chosen songs you prefer and starts you there. This learning stays on your device. * If a file won't open, Woon explains why, whether it is a streaming fragment, a copy-protected purchase or a surround mix. * Follow each loop with a quiet pass counter on your lock screen. * Say "Hey Siri, continue my loop in Woon" to resume your last song hands-free. * Play playlists from beginning to end, then come back around endlessly. * Keep listening with the screen off and control playback from your lock screen or headphones. * Your playlists follow your Apple ID across your devices. No separate account, password or sign-up required. WOON BRIDGE YOUR DEVICES TALK TO EACH OTHER Your devices running Woon discover each other on the same Wi-Fi network and transfer songs with the analysis already done. The receiving device can pick up without starting from zero. Transfers are encrypted, and only devices signed into your Apple ID can join. Songs move directly between your devices, with no server in the transfer path. FOR WORK, SLEEP, TRAINING, DRIVING, STUDYING One song, held for as long as you want it. No shuffle deciding for you. No ads breaking the spell. No algorithm changing the mood halfway through. Just the part you love, for as long as you love it. Woon includes a track to try immediately, so you can hear what it feels like from the moment you open the app.
