Breathe in.
Settle down.
Destress.
Orin is an iOS app that combines real binaural sound and guided breathing. Backed by decades of research and ancient meditation techniques.

Most meditation apps ask more of you than they give back
You open the app to calm down and land on a library of hundreds of sessions, a streak you’re afraid to break, and a subscription screen before you’ve taken a single breath. Orin skips all of that. Pick how you want to feel, put on your headphones, and start.
Breath and sound, working together
Orin builds a live soundscape for every session: a warm noise bed, real binaural beats made from two different tones in each ear, and Tibetan bowls that ring in time with your breath. Nothing loops. Nothing plays the same way twice. Headphones bring it fully to life.
Three steps
that’s it
Choose how you want to feel: calm, less stress, sharper focus, or sleep.
Breathe with the guide while the sound builds around you.
Finish in as little as 3 minutes, or drift off completely with Drift.
The Science Behind the Orin App
A slow exhale activates your parasympathetic nervous system, the part of your body that lowers your heart rate and signals it’s safe to relax. That’s the mechanism behind coherent breathing and box breathing, both built into Orin’s four intentions.
Binaural beats add a second layer: two slightly different tones, one in each ear, that your brain fuses into a single pulsing tone linked to calm, focus, or deep rest. Researchers have studied the effect for decades. Even declassified CIA research from the 1980s looked at binaural audio’s effect on the mind. Orin treats it as a tool, not a promise: put on headphones and notice the shift yourself.
Orin supports relaxation and focus. It’s not medical care and doesn’t replace a doctor or therapist.
Drift, The Part That Actually Gets You To Sleep
Most sleep content either cuts off too soon or loops the same track all night. Drift lets you choose. Put it on, follow a long exhale, and the whole soundscape glides down with you: the visuals dim and the chimes go quiet. Let it fade to silence once you're asleep, or set it to play all night. It keeps going with the screen off.
Why We Built This
We built Orin because modern life is stressful. Most meditation apps left us feeling more behind than when we opened them. We wanted something that did its job in a few minutes, then got out of the way. No feed, no library to catch up on, no streak to protect. Just breath and sound, when you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need headphones?
Yes, for the binaural sound. Everything else works without them, but headphones are what make the beat effect work.
Do I need to make an account?
No. Your first session is free with no signup. A subscription or Orin Lifetime unlocks the rest.
Is this a medical treatment?
No. Orin supports relaxation and focus. It isn’t medical care and doesn’t replace a doctor or therapist.
How is this different from Calm or Headspace?
Those apps hand you a library and hope you keep up. Orin is one clear action: pick how you feel, breathe, and the app builds a matching soundscape live. Drift, the sleep mode, can fade to silence or play all night. And with Orin Lifetime, you can skip the subscription entirely.
Is there a way to pay once?
Yes. Orin Lifetime is a single $59.99 payment for unlimited access forever. No subscription, nothing to cancel.
Can Orin remind me to use it?
Yes. Pick the days and time, and Orin sends a gentle reminder so the habit sticks without a streak to protect.
Will Drift keep playing if my screen turns off?
Yes. Drift keeps playing with the screen off, and you can set it to fade out or run all night.
