About this app

Relaxing Music is a quiet place to listen in the evening: calm music, guided meditations, sleep stories and nature sounds, gathered into 45 collections.
There is no mix to build. Open a collection or let the app pick for you, shape the atmosphere around it, and decide how the session ends.

A library organized by how you feel
Six sections hold more than 1,200 audio pieces: Meditation & mindfulness, Sleep & deep rest, Focus & brighter days, Nature & soundscapes, Music for your day, and World & contemplative traditions. Piano, guitar, harp, flute, violin and saxophone each have a collection of their own, beside Guided Meditation, Sleep Stories, Lullabies, Rivers & Ocean, Tibetan Music and Chakra Meditation. Search across titles, collections and keywords, filter by mood, or tap Surprise me when you would rather not choose.

Something for the hour you are in
Yoga Music and Spa Music for stretching or a slow evening, Focus and Morning Music for quiet hours of work or study, Sleep and Sleep Stories for the last hour before bed. The nature collections gather rain and thunder, rivers and ocean waves, forest mornings and birdsong.

Layer your own atmosphere
The sound mixer places three generated ambient textures over the track you are playing - soft rain, evening wind and warm embers - each with its own volume. They are synthesized textures rather than field recordings, and they pause and fade together with your music.

Decide how the evening ends
Set a sleep timer from 1 to 720 minutes with a closing fade of 30, 45 or 60 seconds, so nothing stops abruptly. Repeat the track you are on, or choose Listen to the complete track when you would rather hear a meditation to the end; that cancels the timer and turns repeat off without restarting playback. When the source provides it, the player shows elapsed time and track length.

Create a moment
Pick Meditation, Sleep, Focus or Nature, choose 5 to 60 minutes, and the app offers three tracks from the matching collections. The time you pick sets the timer for the session; it is not the length of a recording.

Come back to what works
Save up to twelve rituals - the track, the ambient levels, the volume, the timer and the fade - and start one again with a single tap. Favorite anything you want to find later. Favorites and the last 24 tracks you played stay on your device.

A calmer screen
Breathe follows a simple visual rhythm, four seconds in and six seconds out, at whatever pace feels comfortable. Sleep Screen dims the app to a black background with only the controls you still need. The night landscape can be held still with Still sky, and reduced motion settings are respected.

Good to know
The collection is streamed, so an internet connection is needed to play it; there are no offline downloads. The interface is in English.

Put your headphones on and stay for one track, or let the evening fade out on its own.

Ratings and reviews

I love this app. I use it all the time. There is soooo much to choose from, including some guided meditations. There are short and long pieces, different instruments like guitar., violin, saxaphone, etc. Or you can pick from different cultures , like Japanese, Ventian, Chinese, etc. And each of those has multiple short and long pieces. Highly recommended.

I like the Music and the large selection of types of the Music. I would have given it 5 stars, but there does not seem to be a Timer feature to shut off the music and exit the app after the number of specified minutes. Also, a Playlist feature that would allow stoting specified tracks together under a Name, and later recall & only play all of those tracks, would be nice.

Wonderful app with one glaring flaw. Fantastic variety of music, meditations, and best of all sleep stories. I paid for the premium version and it was well worth it, but for some reason I can no longer get the app to play one track and then stop. When playing sleep stories, this is unfortunately a critical flaw, because I'll be dozing off peacefully at the end of one, only to be jolted awake by the beginning of the next story in line. Please, please fix this!
