Our soundscapes explained
Endel's soundscapes are based on the three pillars of productivity and wellbeing: Relax, Focus, and Sleep.
Relax
Relax soundscapes are designed for the 'life' part of work-life balance. Relax is also great for meditation, reading, and self-care. To keep in sync with your circadian rhythm, start the Relax soundscape whenever you see an energy ‘drop’ or ‘recharge’ cycle on the app's main screen.
You won't hear beats or complex sound textures in Relax — it’s designed to soothe, with simple sounds that are easy to process.
Focus
Focus is designed for problem solving, creative, meticulous, or physical tasks. This soundscape is your go-to option for all types of work and study.
To make the most of it, use Focus whenever you see an energy 'rise' or 'peak' cycle on the app's main screen.
The rhythmic patterns in Focus can sync with your heart rate. Just pair the app with your smart watch (Apple Watch for iOS, Wear OS or Galaxy Watch for Android).
Neuroscience shows that Focus works. According to a study, it provides faster, more consistent focus than playlists on top streaming platforms.
Sleep
Designed equally for light naps and night sleeps, the Sleep soundscape is curated by Dr. Roy Raymann of SleepScore Labs and incorporates the best of modern sleep science.
Featuring an enhanced intro for sleep onset, Sleep lets you peacefully drift off thanks to sound composition backed by neuroscience. A sleep trigger, nature sounds, and colored noise, and a restful soundscape all help you get deep, uninterrupted sleep.
Try to play the Sleep soundscape around the same time every night. After about one week, your body will start to slow down the moment you hear the opening sleep trigger.
Put your phone on charge and let Endel play through the night at a comfortable volume — colored noise, underlying the soundscape, needs to be audible to effectively mask the other sounds around you.
Recovery
Recovery is an alternative relaxation soundscape designed to soothe and revive. The lively yet calming sounds of Recovery are engineered to lower feelings of stress and anxiety. We created this soundscape to help you revive, recharge, and be transported somewhere magical.
Study
Study is more than just your average focus beats. It’s an endlessly adapting soundscape scientifically engineered to improve concentration and keep you calm while studying. Study helps you learn, absorb information, and solve problems. Whether it’s a quick revision or an all-night cram session.
Move
Move is our most responsive and dynamic soundscape yet. Made for walking, hiking, or running, it helps you feel grounded and connected with sounds that react to your step count. Move automatically detects your activity based on movement data and reacts with the optimal sound environment.
Hibernation
Hibernation is a tranquil sleep soundscape is designed to ground your emotions and help you recharge. Take solace, sleep and rest after a hectic year. Calming across cultures, Hibernation pulls from a wide variety of influences and instruments to soothe the soul and help you drift off.
