Editors’ Choice celebrates the very best apps and games—handpicked by App Store Editors around the world.

Endel is the soundtrack to our day—transforming the way we sleep, focus, and carve out moments of calm thanks to the way the app personalizes soundscapes based on our heart rates, the local weather, and how much we move each day.

We knew we loved it when: We heard the soundscapes change hour by hour—and season by season. As the days got shorter (and we lamented the 6 pm nightfall), Endel met us with a personalized Uplift soundscape that brought buoyant melodies and gentle percussion to combat sluggish afternoons. The accompanying Seasonal Energy Score (based on our movement level and daylight hours) impacted our soundscape too.

Our favorite discovery: When we needed to center ourselves again, we turned to the interactive exercise Calming Taps. As expanding ripples appeared across the screen (accompanied by soothing sounds, of course), gently touching each one helped us get out of our heads—and into our bodies.

Our biggest surprise: How the app helped us eliminate distractions altogether. When it was time to hit play on the Dynamic Focus soundscape, a quick tap of the App Blocker button kept us off of social media apps while we locked in.
