I launched Foyer here last month. It's a small app that turns ambient sound into a place. You sit in the middle of a black canvas as a point of light, and each sound is a glowing orb you can drag around yourself: a hearth, rain, a stream, a city somewhere in the distance. Pull one closer and it gets louder. Slide it to the left and it moves to your left ear. It's real binaural audio, so with headphones on it feels like you're sitting inside the room instead of listening to a track.
Foyer turns ambient sound into a place. You're a point of light on a black canvas, and each sound (a hearth, rain, a stream, a distant city) is a glowing orb you drag around yourself with your thumb. Pull one closer and it swells; slide it and it pans. It's real binaural spatial audio, now on iPhone, with lock-screen controls and AirPods head tracking. One purchase unlocks Mac and iPhone.
Foyer turns ambient sound into a place. On a black canvas you're a point of light, and each sound — a crackling hearth, a fountain, rain, birdsong — is a glowing orb you place around yourself. Pull one closer and it swells; slide it left or right and it pans there. It's real spatial audio, and it folds into your MacBook notch while you work.
