Endel is a service that offers personalized soundscapes to help users focus, relax, and sleep. The soundscapes are backed by neuroscience and are designed to create feelings of comfort and safety, boost productivity by aiding concentration, and soothe users into a deep sleep with soft, gentle sounds.
It was founded in 2018 and is a part of the Techstars Music Accelerator [1]. The service’s mission is to harness the power of sound to improve mental wellbeing. Ambient noise has long been used to facilitate tranquility, and research shows that relaxing music can help prevent stress and anxiety [2].
The app is designed to create personalized soundscapes that provide the mind and body with what it needs to achieve total immersion in any task.
Endel also offers a web-based service, which provides an adaptive spoken word soundscape that can help inspire users. By signing up for the service, users agree to Endel’s terms and conditions.
Some users have reported issues with the free trial, stating that they were charged a setup fee without any prior notice [3]. However, overall, Endel is a sound productivity application that aims to help users focus on tasks, relax better, and sleep more soundly through the use of personalized soundscapes.
