myLoop | Own Your Sound

myLoop turns a sound you recorded yourself into a seamless loop to fall asleep, relax or focus to. 61 ready-made loops come with the app and stay free. myLoop springs from a simple idea: to take something I can hear with me, loop it, and, if I want, share it. I love the sound of nature, and the hum of a city. Streams rushing, leaves in the wind, breaking waves, rain on a tent roof, distant storms and thunder ⦠but such moments are fleeting. myLoop captures them and makes them endless. There are plenty of apps with ready-made sounds. But none of them is yours, none you lived yourself. That's exactly what myLoop is for: to draw a seamless loop from your own recordings ⦠to fall asleep to, to relax, to read, or just to feel good. Record or import, whatever you like. myLoop isn't just a recorder, it's also a full audio player. And because a place rarely has just one sound, scenes let you layer several recordings: rain on the tent, a fire, the crickets behind it, each at its own level. Since the loops have different lengths, the whole thing practically never repeats. Good recordings need good microphones ⦠and from the iPhone 15 Pro onward, you have them, in stereo. But myLoop also supports professional external USB-C microphones. And if that's still not enough, just pull sounds from freesound.org and import them. Or enjoy the 61 loops and four ready-made scenes that come with the app. It's what turned me into a field recordist. Listening to a recording just once, beginning to end? I could never picture that. But as a loop, endless, with no audible beginning or end ⦠that's it. My own use case is listening to the distant storm in Jesolo: the thunder out at sea, the rain on the rooftop tent while I lie inside. That moment is gone, but as a loop it stays with me. I had to build this app for that alone. My wish is ⦠that myLoop keeps moments like these for you, too. · · · What myLoop does for you ⢠Record and loop automatically: one sound in, one seamless endless loop out ⢠Seamless transitions: myLoop measures the seam, closes it without a click, and prefers to loop recordings of up to five minutes as a whole ⢠True stereo, from the recording to the finished loop ⢠Scenes: up to ten recordings at once, each at its own level, and new ones previewed inside the playing scene first ⢠A postcard after every recording, with photo, place, time and weather ⢠Import anything: your own files, the sound of videos or sounds from freesound.org, also straight from Share ⢠A full player: albums with groove covers, lanes and scenes, sleep timer, AirPlay and the lock screen ⢠Search the way you remember: by place, weather, sound type or title, plus a map of where you recorded ⢠Sound Map: all your loops placed by how they sound, to explore and listen in ⢠Magic Loop: endless variation without the feeling of repetition For those who want to go deeper ⢠Recording at 48 kHz and 24 bit, with external USB-C and Bluetooth microphones, input filters (high-/low-pass), oscilloscope, spectrum and spectrogram ⢠Eight ways to loop, from Whole Recording to crossfade, mirror and singing bowl, chosen automatically or by hand, each one to listen to ⢠The editor in three steps, cut, seam and sound: markers on the waveform with a fine wheel, the seam zoomed down to the sample, rumble, noise or hiss removed, and everything audible before you save ⢠Share and export: as an audio file or as a .myloop package with photo, place, weather and notes ⢠Back up and restore your whole library, including albums, lanes and scenes Free and Premium ⢠The 61 built-in loops play and loop for free, forever. Everything is open for 30 days; after that, recording, importing, editing, scenes, organizing and sharing need myLoop Premium.
