Project overview

An iOS soundscape app that lets people blend rain, ocean, wind, campfire, and more into personalized mixes for focus, meditation, sleep, and relaxation. The experience features seamless, gapless loops, a sleep timer, offline playback, simultaneous audio (runs under podcasts/music), and a clean, distraction-free UI—all ad-free.

Deliver a polished, privacy-respecting soundscapes app that plays continuously without gaps, works reliably offline, supports layering under other audio, and aligns with evidence that steady sound can mask disruptive noise and natural soundscapes can support relaxation—without making medical overclaims.

Scope of work

Architected and delivered a Swift/SwiftUI iOS soundscape app that enables multi-track ambient mixing with fine-grained controls, gapless loops, sleep timer, offline caching, and simultaneous audio for gentle masking during work or rest. Implemented an ad-free subscription model (monthly/annual/lifetime), streamlined App Store release engineering, and a strict privacy stance (Data Not Collected) to keep the experience fast, reliable, and respectful.

  • Custom soundscapes & UI: Multi-track mixer (rain, ocean, wind, thunder, forest, etc.) with a minimalist, focus-friendly interface.
  • Seamless playback & sleep timer: Hand-crafted, gapless loops with fade-out timer for bedtime use.
  • Offline-ready engine: Frequently used sounds auto-cache for dependable playback without Wi-Fi.
  • Plays with other audio: Layer under podcasts, audiobooks, or music for non-intrusive masking.
  • Release & subscriptions: App Store assets, ongoing updates, and in-app purchases (monthly, annual, lifetime plans)

Key deliverables

  • iOS app with custom mixing, gapless loops, sleep timer
  • Offline playback via local caching
  • Ad-free experience with flexible subscriptions
  • Simultaneous audio support for layering under other content
  • Privacy-respecting design (Data Not Collected)

Technical challenges

Keeping loops perfectly seamless on mobile hardware, sustaining low-latency mixing while simultaneous audio plays from other apps, and ensuring dependable offline playback without inflating the app size.

Project outcome

Flowscapes consolidates personal audio into a single, privacy-centered hub for focus, rest, and relaxation. Early App Store signals show a 5.0/5 average rating with an active update cadence, and usage patterns reflect longer continuous sessions driven by gapless loops, offline reliability, and ad-free listening—positioning the app as a helpful, ownership-minded alternative to noisy, ad-supported experiences.
