Sonaura was created with an emphasis on minimalist design and the Japanese concept of MA, which is among other things about eliminating clutter. Eighteen stereophonic sounds derived from nature, random noise and minimalist music can provide something for everyone. Press a button to hear a sound. Press it again to stop the sound. Or press a different button. With each sound is a graphic for creating space within for your thoughts or letting go of your thoughts.

Sonaura can help you create your own personal soundscape at times (intervals) when your ears are being assaulted by annoying environmental sounds (sonic clutter) that are beyond your control. Its also for times when you want to play Tai Chi or just feel like relaxing or enjoying some peaceful meditation and serenity. Sometimes the little ones are tired and fussy but just cant seem to fall asleep. Sonaura provides soothing, relaxing sounds such as heartbeat and lullabies to help them fall asleep fast and peacefully.

When the phone is paired with a Bluetooth stereo or connected to another device you may want to be somewhere else in the room that is not convenient for operating the phone. The watch app allows you to select, start and stop sounds and mute or adjust the volume level remotely.

The sounds can be configured to automatically stop playing after one hour or up to twelve hours.

There is also a free ad-supported version that does not have some features like the Apple Watch app, the convenient volume slider and more.
