Sound Widgets vs Whorl

Sound Widgets puts your favourite songs or your own audio snippets right on your Home Screen. Create personal widgets with songs from Apple Music, shared Spotify tracks or short recordings of your own. Tap the widget to play: Apple Music songs start in the background exactly where you set them. Spotify widgets open the track in the Spotify app. Recordings launch a player inside Sound Widgets. FEATURES • Widgets in three sizes: small, medium and large • Apple Music integration with search by title or artist • Import Spotify tracks via the Share menu • Record audio in the app or import via Share (e.g. Voice Memos, Files) • Photo from your library or album cover as the widget image • Set the start time with a slider for Apple Music — playback begins right there • Share songs from Apple Music, Apple Music Classical or Spotify to Sound Widgets • No account, no cloud — all data stays locally on your device NOTES • Apple Music requires an Apple Music subscription. • Spotify widgets open the Spotify app (Spotify must be installed). PRIVACY The app collects no usage data, contains no advertising and shares no data with third parties. Photos and recordings are stored exclusively on your device. Free and ad-free. You can support development voluntarily via the Tip Jar — thank you!

Sounds that move. A mind that follows. Most "8D audio" is one stereo file with a panning effect baked in. Whorl works differently: every layer is a separate source, spatialized live on your iPhone as it orbits your head. That is why you can change the speed mid-session, why head tracking works, and why each layer can circle at its own pace. PICK A GOAL, PRESS PLAY - De-stress: slow, wide orbits to unwind - Focus: steady motion for deep work - Sleep: a low, dark drift with a fade-out timer - Overthinking: bilateral motion and gentle alternating taps MOTION AND COMFORT, ALWAYS FREE Choose Orbit, Sway, gentle Drift, or Still, at Gentle, Standard, or Deep intensity. If the motion ever feels like too much, dial it down or stop it entirely. These controls are never behind the paywall. MADE FOR HEADPHONES - True spatial audio on real 3D paths, rendered in real time - AirPods head tracking: turn your head and the sound stays put - Bilateral tapper: soft haptic taps alternating left and right - Pomodoro focus mode and 2 to 60 minute session timers - Sleep timer with a slow fade-out - Works fully offline. Nothing streams, nothing buffers - No account, no ads, no tracking. Everything stays on your device FREE AND PRO Start free: every goal, ten minutes at a time, with all comfort controls. Whorl Pro unlocks the full soundscape library, AirPods head tracking, the bilateral tapper, and unlimited session length.
