What Atmosphere does

Atmosphere is a relaxing sounds app with more than 70 nature, city and household sounds that you can layer into your own mix. It also has binaural beats, saved mixes and a sleep timer. It's on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android.

70+ nature, city and household sounds
Separate volume for each layer
Saved mixes and playlists
Binaural beats and isochronic tones
Sleep timer
Plays in the background

Atmosphere is a simple sound mixer. Pick a beach, a forest, rain or a busy cafe, add more layers, and set each volume until it sounds right.

Save mixes as playlists for one-tap playback, set a sleep timer, and keep it playing while you use other apps. There's also a section of binaural beats and isochronic tones.

It's free with ads, and a small one-time purchase removes them on iPhone. The Android app was updated in 2026; the iPhone app's last update was in August 2024.

A good way to start: build one mix for sleep and one for focus, then save both as playlists. If the ads bother you and you're on iPhone, the one-time ad removal is a small cost compared with a subscription.
