Endel
Adaptive AI soundscapes for focus and sleep
About
Endel generates real-time adaptive soundscapes that respond to time of day, weather, location and optional heart-rate data, with modes for focus, relax, sleep and on-the-go. It has partnered with artists like Grimes and James Blake and cites peer-reviewed research behind its approach. Premium runs around $9.99/month or $99/year with a limited free tier, though prices have shifted over time. The experience is subjective, full access requires a subscription, and it is a wellness tool rather than a music creation product.
