Somaphi: Sleep Calm Focus

iPhone / Forme et santé

Five generative soundscapes for sleep, calm, focus and flow.

Composed live on your iPhone. Never the same twice.

No account. No subscription. Five modes free, forever.

Somaphi doesn't play back loops or recordings. A native C++ audio engine on your device composes every note in real time — diatonic harmony, a sixteen-voice pad synthesiser, ambient textures and a precisely tuned frequency layer, generated in the moment, every time you press play.

— FIVE MODES —

• SLEEP. Delta range, D natural minor, cathedral reverb. A descending minor scale stretched into a long, slow release for deep sleep.

• DRIFT. Theta range, C Lydian, open-hall reverb. The raised fourth gives Lydian its floating, unresolved quality — the gap between waking and sleep.

• CALM. Alpha range, C# Major, warm hall. Major's clarity, slowed to alpha tempo. The resting frequency of a quiet, awake mind.

• FOCUS. Beta range, E Dorian, studio room. Minor but grounded — Dorian's raised sixth gives it a determined character that sustains attention without agitation.

• FLOW. Gamma range, F Mixolydian, bright chamber. Major with a flattened seventh — expansive, forward-moving, the harmony of momentum.

— THE METHOD —

Four layers, working together:

1. A native C++ audio engine. Every sound rendered locally, in real time. No streaming, no internet, no latency.

2. A sixteen-voice pad synthesiser with a natural bloom-to-decay lifecycle. The binaural oscillator runs at the precise frequency each mode is designed around. The ambient textures are DSP-generated, not recorded.

3. A diatonic harmonic sequencer voicing chords from each mode's scale. Three sequencer patterns — A, B and C — tuned per brainwave state, each with a distinct melodic character. Octave shifts and occasional chance notes keep them alive across long sessions. Symphony mode is fully generative: phrase and chord decisions made continuously by the engine, never repeating.

4. Twelve layered ambient textures — Rain, Ocean, Fire, Bowl, Chimes and more — blend with the harmonic layer to build the full sonic space.

A breath guide is built into every session: set your inhale length, and the orb pulses inhale to hold to exhale, synchronised to the sound.

— PLAY ALONG —

A chromatic keyboard tuned to the mode's active scale appears during every session. Improvise within the harmonic space. Add your own voice to the composition. Nothing else in this category lets you play over a generative engine in real time.

— STUDIO PRO ($12.99 ONE-TIME) —

Studio Pro turns Somaphi into a composition tool for practitioners:

• Twelve chromatic roots and ten scales — Major, Natural Minor, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Harmonic Minor, Pentatonic, Minor Pentatonic, Whole Tone

• Extended chord voicings to reshape the harmonic character of each mode

• 432 Hz master tuning

• Four named pranayama breath patterns — 4-7-8, Box, Calm, Energy

• Record your session and export to lossless WAV, AIFF or M4A

Audio exported from Studio Pro is yours — perpetual, royalty-free licence, for any use including commercial. Yoga class, meditation guide, podcast, film, livestream. No attribution required. No royalties owed.

Made for yoga teachers, meditation guides, breathwork facilitators, therapists, podcasters and filmmakers — and for anyone who just wants beautiful, unrepeating ambient sound on demand.

— A QUIET NOTE ON THE SCIENCE —

Frequency-based audio is an active research area; effects vary person to person. Somaphi is designed as a complementary tool — for rest, attention and creative practice — not a medical device or a substitute for professional care.

— PRIVACY —

No account. No login. No tracking. No analytics SDK. No network connection required. Audio is generated on your iPhone and never leaves your device unless you choose to export it.

Built for headphones. Designed in the United Kingdom.
