Find Your Inner Calm: 5 Free Apps to Ease Stress and Anxiety

3.  Relax Melodies by Ipnos Software

There are plenty of relaxing sounds apps out there, but this one is a little different. Choose from a variety of calming sounds, including rain and thunder, traffic, birdsong, crackling camp fires, and a range of gentle pieces of music. Layer these sounds as you wish to create a personalized soundscape, perfect for sleep, meditation, or even just to listen to while working or studying. You can add binaural beats into the mix, for an even deeper level of relaxation.

The design of this app compliments the sounds perfectly, with gently swinging wooden squares representing each sound. These can be very calming to watch, with an almost hypnotic effect. The background is a deep blue, scattered with fluffy clouds. The colors are muted enough that they won’t fill the room with light if you’re trying to sleep. If you’d prefer to listen to your chosen sounds with the screen locked, you can upgrade to a paid version of the app. This also gives you access to a whole range of new sounds and binaural beats.
