About

Duskvale

Read full description

Duskvale turns a handful of quiet sounds into one long dusk. Pick a layer β€” rain on a window, wind moving through a valley, water, fire, a night forest, a low resonant hum β€” and set how loud it sits in the mix. Add another. Each family plays one sound at a time, so the result stays clean instead of turning to mud, and every change crossfades rather than cutting. SOUND β€’ 6 families: Rain, Wind, Water, Fire, Night Nature, Resonance β€’ 28 recordings in total, 8 of them rain alone β€’ An independent volume slider for every layer β€’ Smooth crossfades when you switch between variations β€’ Keeps playing in the background and on the lock screen β€’ Everything is bundled with the app: no streaming, no buffering, no account FAVORITES Found a mix you like? Save it with one tap β€” every layer along with its volume. Your favorites sit at the top of the sound panel, ready to bring the whole mix back in a single tap. COLOR Duskvale is not only something to listen to. Switch to the color panel, pick shades from the wheel, and build a palette of your own. Tap Visualize and those colors become a slow drifting field of light β€” bleeding into each other, pulling apart, never repeating the same pattern twice. It is drawn live on your device, not a looping video. MADE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY β€’ Dark by design, easy on the eyes at night β€’ Available in English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic β€’ Works fully offline, in airplane mode, anywhere β€’ No account, no sign-up, nothing to subscribe to β€’ Respects the system Reduce Motion setting β€’ Free, supported by ads
