Day and night

Not just for bedtime.

Wind down

Create a steady background for your evening routine, so sudden sounds from the room, hotel, or street stand out less.

Focus

Set up a word-free background that makes nearby conversations and everyday distractions less prominent while you work or study.

Read

Soften the presence of a television, street noise, or a busy café with a quiet background that leaves room for the words.

Take a break

Spend a few quiet minutes with familiar rain, forest sounds, or waves, with no voice or instructions to follow.

With Premium, give your mix a name and save the level and position of every sound. Open it again on the same iPhone without rebuilding it from scratch. Saved soundscapes are stored locally and do not sync between devices.

  • Keep every level and position
  • Stored locally, with no cross-device sync

Sound placement

Put every sound in its place.

A basic sound player simply layers loops together. Oasis lets rain come from the left, a fire stay in the center, and a river sit behind you. Every sound has its own volume and position, including background noise.

  • Left, right, front, back, or center
  • Independent volume for every sound
  • Position background noise too

With headphones

Add a binaural beat.

Oasis plays a slightly different frequency in each ear. The difference between them is perceived as a beat, which you can layer underneath the rest of your soundscape.

Binaural beats are being studied for their possible effects on sleep, anxiety, attention, and memory. Findings vary depending on frequency, listening time, and study design. Oasis does not claim or guarantee any particular effect.

Explore the research
  • Delta · around 2–4 Hz — commonly associated with sleep and winding down
  • Theta · around 5–8 Hz — commonly associated with meditation
  • Alpha · around 8–12 Hz — commonly associated with relaxation
  • Beta · around 12–30 Hz — commonly associated with focus

Noise generator

Make the background more consistent.

White, brown, pink, or green noise, a fan, or an airplane cabin can provide a steady backdrop when the sounds around you keep changing. Each source has its own volume and position.

  • White, brown, pink, and green noise
  • Fan and airplane cabin
  • Independent volume and position for every source

Use what you have

From headphones to the room around you

Listen on headphones when you want to hear sound placement more clearly or use binaural beats. When you want to fill a room instead, play Oasis through a compatible speaker using the audio options already built into your iPhone.

  • Headphones make sound placement clearer and enable binaural beats.
  • Send Oasis from your iPhone to a compatible AirPlay device.
  • Works through AirPlay or Bluetooth on compatible Sonos models.
  • Listen through compatible wireless headphones, earbuds, or speakers.
