Orin: the binaural breathing app for iPhone
Breathe in.
Settle down.
Orin is an iOS app that pairs guided breathing with real binaural sound, so your mind slows down in minutes. No account, no streaks, no guru talking at you.
- First session free
- No account
- Real binaural audio
These are the real breath patterns inside Orin. Pick one and follow the orb for a few rounds.
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. Nothing loops. Nothing plays the same way twice. Headphones bring it fully to life.
- Layer 1
A warm noise bed
Brown noise shaped like a slow ocean, drifting under everything so the room goes quiet.
- Layer 2
Real binaural beats
Two slightly different tones, one in each ear. Your brain fuses them into a single pulse linked to calm, focus, or deep rest.
- Layer 3
Tibetan bowls on the breath
Bright on the inhale, soft on the hold, low and warm on the exhale. You can follow the sound with your eyes closed.
Three steps, that's it.
- 1
Choose how you want to feel
Calm and ground, release stress, sharpen focus, or deep rest. Each one has its own breath pace (coherent, 4-7-8, box, or a long exhale) and its own tone.
- 2
Breathe with the guide
Follow the orb while the sound builds around you. Bowls ring in time with each breath.
- 3
Finish, or drift off
Sessions run from 3 to 20 minutes. Or switch to Drift and let it carry you to sleep.
Quiet on purpose.
The part that actually gets you to sleep.
Put it on and follow a long exhale: four seconds in, eight seconds out, no holds. As you settle, the whole soundscape glides down with you. The visuals dim, the chimes go quiet, and the sound fades to silence on its own. Or set it to run all night. It keeps playing with the screen off either way.
The science behind it.
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. 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 isn't medical care and doesn't replace a doctor or therapist.

Try Orin free"Most wellness apps left me feeling more behind than when I opened them. I 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."
