Create Your Zen
Read full descriptionHide full description
Create your Zen is a sound and picture mixer. Layer calming sounds over beautiful places, and sit with it, work through it, or sleep to it. Pick a few sounds. Birdsong, rainfall, ocean waves, a stream, a quiet cafe, even a ticking wall of clocks. Drag up or down on each one to set its volume, and shape a mix that is exactly right for you. Then choose where you are. A beach, deep space, underwater, falling snow, a neon city at night. Pick more than one and your zen drifts between them. Press play, and everything else fades away. The controls dim, the photo fills the screen, and it is just you and your mix. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Mix multiple ambient sounds, each with its own volume - Set the scene with full screen photographic environments - Save your favourite mixes and name them. Work focus, study, winding down - Listen offline. Once your sounds are on your device, no connection needed - Read gentle quotes while you play, or turn them off - Keep listening with your screen locked, with controls on the lock screen - Add widgets to your home screen, including your saved mixes and a daily quote - Explore the info section for short reads on focus, rest and building calmer habits MADE FOR FOCUS, REST AND EVERYTHING BETWEEN Deep work with rainfall over a snowy forest. Revision with cafe murmur in a city at dusk. Falling asleep to waves on a beach you wish you were on. On a plane, on a train, or somewhere with no signal at all, your zen comes with you. No noise, no clutter, no pressure. Just sound, pictures and a play button. Create your Zen. Take a breath.

WN is a white noise machine that uses the right method for each sound. The noise colors are generated live on your phone by real filters. The rain, ocean and stream are real field recordings. Nothing streams, nothing downloads, and it all keeps running with the screen off. SEVEN NOISE COLORS, GENERATED LIVE A noise color is a spectral slope, not a recording — so WN generates each one with an actual filter rather than relabeling the same file seven times. - White: flat and even, the classic masker - Pink: balanced, the one most people find easiest to sleep to - Brown: deep and low, like distant surf - Green: mid-focused, the band most nature sound sits in - Gray: shaped so every part of the spectrum sounds equally loud - Blue: bright, cuts through low rumble - Violet: the brightest, for masking high hiss Because they are generated and not played back, they never repeat and never develop the loop point you start to notice at three in the morning. REAL RECORDINGS WHERE RECORDINGS WIN Rain, ocean and stream are made of thousands of separate random events — individual drops, breaking foam, water over stone. Synthesis only approximates that, so WN uses genuine public-domain field recordings instead. Each one is crossfaded end to end, so you never hear the seam, and all of them are level-matched so the mixer starts out balanced. Fan and wind are generated, because a fan really is filtered noise with a blade tone, and a recording would only add megabytes. A MIXER, NOT A LIST Stack layers and set each one's volume independently: brown noise under rain, a fan behind a stream, whatever your room needs. The whole screen takes on the color of whatever is loudest, so you can see what you are hearing at a glance. A SLEEP TIMER THAT FADES Set it and the sound fades out over your chosen time instead of stopping dead. Cutting the sound abruptly wakes the person it was masking noise for, which rather defeats the point. WHAT YOU GET FREE - White, pink and brown noise - Fan and rain layers - Mix two sounds at once - Sleep timer presets up to 90 minutes - Background playback and lock-screen controls WHAT PRO ADDS - Green, gray, blue and violet noise - Ocean, stream and wind layers - Unlimited layers in the mixer - Any timer length, and control over how long the fade takes - A tone control to warm or brighten any sound HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS WN masks sound. It does not cure anything. Many people find steady noise helps them sleep, concentrate, or take the edge off tinnitus, but if noise is affecting your health or your hearing, please talk to a doctor rather than an app. Protect your ears: use the lowest volume that does the job, especially overnight and especially near a baby. PRIVACY No account, no sign-up, no analytics and no tracking. Every sound is already on your device, so nothing is streamed, recorded or uploaded. The only connection the app ever makes is the subscription check with the App Store. SUBSCRIPTION WN Pro is available as a weekly subscription at $3.99 with a 3-day free trial, or a yearly subscription at $17.99. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
