What is Endel?
Science-Backed AI Soundscapes for Focus and Wellness
Endel is an AI-powered audio wellness app that generates personalized soundscapes for focus, relaxation, sleep, and movement. Unlike static music or playlists, Endel's soundscapes adapt in real time to your current activity, time of day, heart rate, weather, and location — creating an ever-changing audio environment scientifically designed to support cognitive performance and wellbeing.
Grounded in Neuroscience
Endel is backed by research into how sound affects the brain. Its sound engine uses pentatonic scales, circadian rhythms, and psychoacoustic principles to create audio that genuinely supports the mental state you're trying to achieve — not just background noise that claims to help but music engineered with specific cognitive effects in mind.

- Modes for focus, relaxation, sleep, and movement
