Personalized Relaxation Apps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Taomix Helps Users Build Soothing Sound Mixes for Sleep

— March 16, 2015 — Tech
Knowing that "soothing sounds" doesn't mean the same thing for everyone, the Taomix app is structured to have you create your own soundtrack for a restful night of sleep, meditation, working or relaxation.

From chirping birds to thunderous rumbles and the crashing waves of the ocean, Taomix app has over 45 nature-bases sounds that can be layered, isolated and amplified at a user's request. These changes are represented by colors, which makes it easy and intuitive to make custom mixes. Unlike similar apps that only use sliding scales for volume, Taomix has a dynamic sound feature: "You can then throw the grey cursor slower or faster to get your environment to evolve in time. For example, listen to the ocean’s waves get stronger as the storm begins while the sound of the seagulls slowly disappears."

Since falling into a deep sleep is so easy, the app also has a built-in timer that will cause the relaxing sounds to stop after the specified period.
Trend Themes
1. Personalized Soundscapes - Opportunity for creating apps that allow users to customize their own sound mixes for relaxation, sleep, and meditation.
2. Dynamic Sound Features - Opportunity for app developers to incorporate dynamic sound features that allow users to manipulate and evolve their sound environment over time.
3. Intuitive User Interface - Opportunity for designing user-friendly apps with intuitive interfaces that use visual cues, such as color, to represent sound changes and customization options.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile App Development - Opportunity for mobile app developers to create personalized relaxation apps with innovative features like dynamic sound manipulation.
2. Wellness and Meditation - Opportunity for the wellness and meditation industry to embrace personalized soundscapes as a form of relaxation and stress relief.
3. Sleep and Rest Industry - Opportunity for the sleep and rest industry to collaborate with app developers and offer personalized sound solutions for better sleep and relaxation.
