SoundScape is an iOS app featuring 100+ nature sounds — forests, rivers, waterfalls, rain, birdsong, thunder, snow, desert winds, and more. Layer multiple sounds together, adjust each volume independently, and set a timer to stop automatically. Whether you need to focus, fall asleep, or simply decompress, SoundScape creates the audio environment you need.
Forests, rivers, waterfalls, rain, birds, insects, thunder, snow, desert, jungle, swamp, volcano — an expansive library covering natural environments from around the world.
Turn on as many sounds as you like at once. Combine a babbling stream with birdsong and a light rain for a scene that's entirely your own.
Set a timer from 1 to 180 minutes and the app stops automatically when time's up. Perfect for falling asleep, focused work sessions, or timed breaks.
Each active sound has its own volume slider so you can fine-tune the balance. Turn up the rain, dial back the thunder, and set the perfect mix.
Forests, rivers, waterfalls, rain on grass, birdsong, crickets, thunder, hurricanes, snow, deserts, jungles, swamps, volcanoes — and much more. Every sound is organized and named clearly so you can find what you're looking for in seconds.
Enable multiple sounds at once and layer them however you like. Try a large river with rainforest morning and light rain for deep focus, or small birds with leaves in the wind for a gentle wake-up atmosphere. The volume slider on each sound lets you shape the balance exactly right.
Choose from seven timer lengths — 1, 5, 10, 30, 60, 120, or 180 minutes. Set it before sleep and it turns off after you've drifted off, saving battery without any extra steps. Your timer setting is saved across sessions.
While playing, your lock screen and Control Center show the playback info and let you pause or resume without unlocking your phone. The app integrates with iOS media controls so it stays out of your way when you want it to.
Tap any sound in the list to start playing it. Tap more sounds to layer them on top. Each active sound gets its own volume slider so you can adjust the balance until it feels exactly right. There's no limit to how many you can combine.
Tap the timer button at the bottom of the screen and pick a stop time — anywhere from 1 minute to 3 hours. It's optional, but great for sleep or work sessions where you don't want to think about stopping manually.
Once you've hit play, you can close the app entirely. The sound keeps going in the background. Control playback from your lock screen or Control Center anytime — no need to reopen the app.
"I layer a large river with morning rainforest sounds while I work from home. It completely drowns out distractions and puts me in a focused headspace. A daily essential."

"The variety is what keeps me coming back. I change the mix depending on my mood and never get bored. The lock screen controls are a small but genuinely useful touch."
