Cymatics Lab draws sound as moving patterns. Play a song, hum into the mic or make a beat, and the sound shapes sand on a vibrating plate or ripples of light in water. These are Chladni patterns, the figures a vibrating surface makes, drawn live from what you hear. SAND AND LIQUID Sand Lab has seven modes: Square, Circle, Sphere, Orbital, Cavity, Lissajous and Quasi. Liquid Lab has five: Round, Square, Bubble, Wave Tank and Drop. You can change the plate, the room, the lighting and the colors. MAKE MUSIC YOU CAN SEE The built-in Composer is for anyone, no experience needed, and the pattern moves with every note. • FEEL: tap a preset to start a groove, then turn Energy, Space, Tone and Drive. • BEATS: edit drums, bass, lead and pad on a step grid. • PERFORM: play drum pads or a keyboard and record what you play. • SOUNDS: shape each instrument. • SONG: chain sections into a full song. FIND YOUR FREQUENCY Dial in an exact tone, add a second frequency, or set a timed sweep, and watch the shape change with each hertz. WHAT YOU CAN LISTEN TO The microphone, your own music library, or the Cymatics Lab albums included in the app. Apple Music and Spotify work through the microphone while they play from your speaker. WAVES Release your patterns as Waves for others to find. Browse, save and remix theirs, follow creators, and like and comment. A shared wave link opens right in the app. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Open it like a book with the Composer on one half and the pattern on the other, or fold it halfway like a laptop. The outer screen can show your pattern to the people across from you. FULL SCREEN AND AIRPLAY Turn your phone for a full-screen pattern, or AirPlay the pattern and music to a compatible TV. SAVE AND EXPORT Capture photos and videos of a pattern. Export your music as audio, separate instrument tracks or MIDI. CYMATICS LAB PRO The app is free to download. Pro unlocks every mode and tool, as a monthly or yearly subscription. If you bought Pro before version 2.0, you keep it for life as a Founder.

Sacred Geometry Visualizer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Ten sacred geometry patterns, drawn live, moving with whatever you play. Flower of Life. Metatron's Cube. Sri Yantra. The Merkaba. The Torus. The Golden Spiral. The Thirteen-Petaled Lotus. The Triple Spiral. Celestial Mandala. Cosmic Bloom. These are forms people have been drawing for thousands of years, and they hold attention in a way an ordinary screensaver does not. Here they are rendered frame by frame in real time and tied to sound. The audio is split into six frequency bands with beat detection on top, so the structure responds to the shape of a track instead of just pulsing along with it. Nothing is pre-rendered or looped, so the same song never looks quite the same twice. Sit with one while you meditate, leave it running through a long record, or send it to the TV over AirPlay and let the room watch. Two Ways to Drive It: Play your own music. Bring in tracks from Files or iCloud Drive, or pull songs and whole playlists from your Apple Music library. Or open the microphone. Point it at a singing bowl, an instrument, a room full of people, and the geometry follows the sound around you. A Real Music Player Underneath: This started as a visualizer and became a player worth using on its own. Ten-band EQ with presets and a preamp Gapless playback, and crossfade up to twelve seconds Volume leveling, so a quiet track does not vanish between two loud ones Playback speed from half to double, pitch corrected Background playback with lock screen, Control Center, AirPods, and CarPlay controls Playlists, and browsing by artist, album, or genre Favorites, play counts, Most Played, and Recently Played Up Next queue, shuffle, repeat, search, and sorting Sleep timer with a soft fade, and an A-B loop Embedded lyrics and album art Picks up exactly where you left off Record It: Capture the visualizer as video and save it to Photos or send it wherever you like. In microphone mode the recording can include the audio in the room. Make It Yours: Swipe to change patterns, press and hold for the full carousel, tap to hide the controls. Each of the six frequency bands has its own sensitivity, so you can decide how much the bass moves things versus the high end. Every pattern remembers its own settings, and you can save presets and come back to them. Privacy: No ads. No accounts. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. Your library, your settings, and your recordings stay on your device. Microphone audio is analyzed on the phone and never uploaded. Free, with nothing locked behind a purchase.
