Requires Tuist, Xcode 26+, and a real iOS 26+ device for full sensor and audio functionality, WeatherKit needs a paid developer account.
This iOS app, called Somnia in its README, is a reactive audio engine that plays generative soundscapes which respond to what is happening around you. It reads sensors like your phone's motion, the surrounding sound level, GPS speed and location, time of day, moon phase, and weather, and with an Apple Watch it can also use heart rate. Based on all of that, it picks a scene to play, and as your situation changes, for example you start moving after being still, the engine smoothly crosses over into a different scene without any noticeable reload. With headphones in, some scenes can even take your own voice through the microphone and feed it back into the mix with effects applied. A notable design choice is that the app ships with absolutely no audio or artwork of its own. Instead of including any copyrighted content, it works like an emulator: the first time you open it, you are asked to import a copy of an original app package that you already legally own, and the engine extracts the scenes and interface assets from that file into private storage on your device. Nothing gets uploaded anywhere, and if you do not own the original content, the app still opens but simply has no scenes to play until you supply your own scene files in the expected format, which is a zipped bundle containing audio samples and Pure Data patches. The app only plays the audio samples from these bundles, it does not run the Pure Data patch logic itself. The project explicitly states it is an independent, unofficial effort with no connection to any original rights holders, and importing content is entirely the user's own responsibility and legal risk. Building the app requires Tuist to generate the Xcode project, along with Xcode 26 or later and an iOS 26 or later device, since sensors and background audio do not fully work in the simulator. An optional WeatherKit integration lets one specific scene react to sunny weather, but it needs a paid Apple Developer account with that capability enabled, and the rest of the app works fine without it. The app's own source code is released under the MIT license, though that license does not cover any imported third party content.
An iOS app that plays generative soundscapes reacting to your motion, sound, and location, using scene files you import yourself.
Mainly Swift. The stack also includes Swift, Tuist, WeatherKit.
The app's own source code can be used freely for any purpose, including commercial use, as long as you keep the copyright notice, this does not cover any content you import yourself.
Setup difficulty is rated hard, with roughly 1h+ to a first successful run.
Mainly general.
