APPS WE LOVE

Endel

Discover soundscapes that are customised to your own rhythm.

Endel is more than just another white noise app. Creating each of its soundscapes in real time, specifically for you and the moment you’re in, it aims to complement your body’s circadian rhythm – helping you to relax when you’re agitated, focus when you’re hitting a slump or drift off to sleep when your mind is racing with thoughts.

What we love: How adaptive Endel is. With your permission, the app syncs with Apple Health to tailor its sounds to the state of your body and your immediate environment. It can factor in natural light, the weather, your wake-up time, activity level and, with an Apple Watch, your heart rate – all to create a continuous soundscape that will keep you immersed in your activity or task.

Endel’s soundscapes can be optimised for focus, relaxation and more.

Quick tip: Checking out the artist collaborations within the app is a must! Drift off to sleep with sounds from dream pop queen Grimes, or go for a mellow walk with R&B artist Miguel. The Endel team keeps adding more collaborations to the app, so there’s always new sounds to explore.

Meet the creator: A Berlin–based team of creatives and artists founded Endel in 2018 to democratise wellness by making AI-powered mindfulness accessible to all. In 2020, they won the Apple Watch App of the Year award.
