Make room for a quieter moment. SerenityScape lets you combine nature sounds and ambient melodies into a personal soundscape for bedtime, relaxation, or focus. YOUR SOUNDS, YOUR MIX Layer rain, ocean waves, forest sounds, a crackling campfire, and more. Adjust each sound's volume and save your favorite combinations. With Premium, import your own audio files to personalize your listening experience. A SOUND FOR YOUR ROUTINE Explore nature sounds, white noise, brown noise, pink noise, ambient melodies, and frequency-based audio. Choose the combination that feels comfortable to you for winding down, reading, studying, or taking a break. SETTLE IN FOR THE NIGHT Set a sleep timer with a gentle fade-out. Use the bedside clock, and keep listening in the background or with your screen locked. LISTEN OFFLINE Built-in sounds and downloaded audio are available without an internet connection. An internet connection is needed to download additional sounds and use online services. WAKE-UP OPTIONS Set an alarm and choose a sound. Gentle Wake-up gradually raises the alarm volume while the app is open. When the app is closed, alarms use iOS notification sounds and depend on your device's notification and sound settings. OPTIONAL PREMIUM A one-time Lifetime purchase removes ads and unlocks Premium features, including importing your own audio. No recurring subscription is required for Lifetime access. See the in-app purchase screen for current pricing and included benefits. Build a soundscape that fits your evening, and return to it whenever you want a calmer background.
