Foyer is a small Mac app. A sound is a point of light you place around yourself on a black canvas: pull it close and it swells, slide it left or right to pan. Lives in the notch.

Sound around you, not in front of you

Every sound gets a place around you.

Build your own room.

Dozens of ambient sounds, yours to mix into a room.

The library spans hearth, campfire and embers; rain, downpour and thunder; ocean, streams and waterfalls; city ambiences from Tokyo to Paris; birdsong, crickets, wind and chimes; ice and a quiet desk.

It looks after the room while you work

Small free comforts that mind the room.

  • ### A sleep and focus timer
  • Give the room fifteen minutes or an hour. It fades out gently when the time is up, instead of cutting off.
  • ### AirPods head tracking
  • Turn your head and the sounds hold their place around you. The hearth stays where you left it.
  • ### Menu bar and media keys
  • Play, pause and switch rooms from the menu bar, or with the keys you already use. No window required.
  • ### Shareable rooms
  • Send a room you love as a small file. A friend opens it and hears it placed exactly as you mixed it.

    Unlock lets the room keep your hours

    Unlock unlimited sounds and rooms.

  • ### Scheduling
  • Your room wakes with you in the morning and winds down on its own at night. The day has a sound to it.
  • ### Shortcuts and Focus filters
  • Let a Focus or a Shortcut choose the room. Lock in, and the right sounds are already playing.
  • ### iCloud sync
  • Your rooms follow you across your Macs, kept in your own iCloud. No account, no server in between.
  • ### Unlimited sounds and rooms
Layer as many sounds as a room can hold, and keep as many rooms as your days ask for.

It lives in your MacBook's notch
