Surraura

This macOS app wraps whatever audio is playing through device convolution (e.g., old radio, hi-fi system), room convolution (e.g., bedroom, forest), ambience layers (rain, wind, waves), and Apple spatial processing so the sound feels like a real space. It is built to help with focus for late-diagnosed ADHD, since hearing sound in a space helps more than dry audio.

    “I’m working on an app to help my late diagnosed ADHD - through sound. The app wraps whatever is playing on mac through device convolution (old radio, hifi system) - Room convolution (a bedroom, a forest) and adds ambience (rain, wind, waves) and Apples spatial processing - so it sounds like a real space.”
