Description

Sleep deeper, focus longer and find calm in minutes. Shimmr brings together guided journeys, breathing exercises, binaural beats and rich soundscapes, crafted by audio professionals.

JOURNEYS

  • Guided sessions with a calm voice that takes you deeper, one step at a time through weight, breath and sound.
  • The tones, the soundscape and the voice move together as you go deeper, then bring you gently back.
  • Choose how present the voice is, from soft to clear, or turn it off.

SHIFTS

Read more
  • Sessions that move you from where you are to where you want to be, like Busy to Quiet or Awake to Asleep.
  • The sound changes slowly as you go, so the change feels natural.

BREATHE

  • Guided breathing exercises in the player, like box breathing, 4-7-8, coherent breathing and long exhale.
  • A voice teaches the first breaths, then a soft cue and a glowing orb lead the way.
  • Set the length from one minute, and add rain, ambient sound or music underneath.

MAKE IT YOURS

  • The mixer: adjust tones, music and ambient layers while they play, then save your own mix.
  • Add music to any soundscape.
  • Sound Canvas: drag and drop sounds to build immersive, layered spaces.
  • A visual EQ in the mixer: drag the curve for a warmer or softer sound, or pick a preset.

SOUNDS FOR EVERY GOAL

  • Solfeggio frequencies, including 432 Hz and 528 Hz.
