About Whorl: 8D Audio
Sounds that move. A mind that follows. Most "8D audio" is one stereo file with a panning effect baked in. Whorl works differently: every layer is a separate source, spatialized live on your iPhone as it orbits your head. That is why you can change the speed mid-session, why head tracking works, and why each layer can circle at its own pace. PICK A GOAL, PRESS PLAY - De-stress: slow, wide orbits to unwind - Focus: steady motion for deep work - Sleep: a low, dark drift with a fade-out timer - Overthinking: bilateral motion and gentle alternating taps MOTION AND COMFORT, ALWAYS FREE Choose Orbit, Sway, gentle Drift, or Still, at Gentle, Standard, or Deep intensity. If the motion ever feels like too much, dial it down or stop it entirely. These controls are never behind the paywall. MADE FOR HEADPHONES - True spatial audio on real 3D paths, rendered in real time - AirPods head tracking: turn your head and the sound stays put - Bilateral tapper: soft haptic taps alternating left and right - Pomodoro focus mode and 2 to 60 minute session timers - Sleep timer with a slow fade-out - Works fully offline. Nothing streams, nothing buffers - No account, no ads, no tracking. Everything stays on your device FREE AND PRO Start free: every goal, ten minutes at a time, with all comfort controls. Whorl Pro unlocks the full soundscape library, AirPods head tracking, the bilateral tapper, and unlimited session length. Whorl Pro is $6.99/month or $39.99/year, each with a 3-day free trial, or $89.99 once for lifetime access. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions.

What’s new
Version 0.4.0 · Updated August 26, 2026
Whorl 0.4.0 — 402 soundscapes, and something to look at. • Tone centers: the nine solfeggio frequencies plus 432 Hz, each voiced three ways — pure, fifth, or a warm pad — and pairable with any texture bed. • 402 soundscapes in total, every one synthesised on your device. Nothing streams, nothing downloads, and it all works in airplane mode. • A blend plays its tone and its bed as two separate orbiting sources, so they circle you at different points. • New Metal visualiser: four calm scenes — Liquid, Bokeh, Waves and Ripples — moving with the orbit rather than reacting to it. • Record a 20-second clip of the live scene with your session's audio, and share it anywhere. Tuning references, not treatment. Best with headphones.
