About this app

Pendoly turns the swing of a pendulum into music.

Set the gravity and drop the pendulums one by one. Unleash the Wild Star — a double-limbed pendulum that swings where physics takes it, never quite the same twice. Design your own harmonic patterns, or choose a ready-made flavour and let go. There are many ways to shape what you hear.

Five lovingly curated, hand-recorded instruments: a Steinway grand, a vintage Rhodes, a Celesta, a Marimba, a Vibraphone. Sounds beautiful in careful hands, and equally beautiful left to run on its own.

For focus, for relaxation, for sleep — or just listen, just watch.

What’s new

Discover the Wild Star: a chaotic double pendulum hiding in your settings. Also: dress your pendulum bob in a football costume.
