Tibetan singing bowls in spatial audio.
A circle of Tibetan singing bowls seated around you. Every sound is a real bowl — the performance is decided in the moment, never a looped performance.
See the circlesEleven circles, and each one is somewhere different: rain over rubbed rims for Water, a campfire and quick bright taps for Fire, crickets for Night. Pick one, set how long you have, and sit in the middle of it.
A circle is a way of playing the bowls — how many are seated, how deep they ring, how they're touched. Each described here in the app's own words.
The traditional seven-bowl set, warm and balanced — everyday practice. A low chant sits under it.
Three deep bowls, slow and long-ringing — grounding, sub-heavy stillness. A forest, close by.
Bowls rubbed at the rim, never struck — one continuous flowing tone. Under it, rain.
Small high bowls, brighter and more active — light and shimmering. A campfire crackles.
Seven bowls across the full range, airy and gently moving — a wide journey. High, calm air.
Barely there — one bowl at a time, arriving slowly and ringing out for a long while. Soft tones drifting.
Three deep bowls, the very slowest — deepest stillness and rest. Prayer flags in the wind.
Nine bowls filling the whole circle — immersive and enveloping. Slow surf.
Bowls struck with a hard mallet — bright, clear, present taps. Birds, just after dawn.
Bowls tapped with a soft mallet and left to ring — round, gentle, unhurried. Crickets.
Every note in Bowls began as a real Tibetan singing bowl — struck or sung in a room, and recorded. Nothing you hear is AI-generated, and the bowls are never synthesized — the chanting under Temple is human voices, the surf is the sea. The app's part is the performance — deciding, while you sit, which bowl sounds and when.
Tap a bowl — these are the app's own recordings
The eleventh circle is yours to build. Nothing about it is fixed.
Played from the app's own recordings, at its real pacing, over its real ambience beds. The full engine runs deeper.
Captured from the app — each circle's session, looping.
Seven Tibetan singing bowls, each seated in its own place around you. You're in the middle of the circle, not sitting in front of it.
On AirPods or other head-tracking headphones, the ring holds its position in the room as you turn — the bowls don't swing around with you. On other headphones you still hear them placed around you. On a speaker it folds down to stereo.
Every sound is a real Tibetan bowl, recorded. The performance isn't — a conductor decides in the moment which bowl enters and when, so what you hear is never a looped performance.
Temple, Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Ether, Mountain, Ocean, Day, Night — each a different set of instructions for the same bowls, not a different recording: how many are seated (three to nine), how high or low they ring, how often they're touched, and whether they're struck or sung.
Rain under Water. Campfire crackle under Fire. Crickets under Night, dawn birds under Day, chanting under Temple. Every circle has one, playing quietly from the moment you start, at its own level — turn it down, or off, for bowls alone.
The eleventh is yours: five sliders for how many bowls, how deep, how fast, the room, and the ring — plus your own photo behind it and your own ambience level.
Eight lengths from five minutes to an hour, or Timeless — no timer, playing until you end it, screen locked or not.
Put any picture behind the circle. It goes through Apple's photo picker, so the app only ever sees the one image you choose, and it never leaves your phone.
No account, no analytics, no network connection of any kind. Bowls makes zero network calls — everything it plays is already on the device when you install it.
Every strike the engine actually plays lights that bowl in its own place in the circle, and a sung bowl stays lit exactly as long as it sounds.
Sit in the Temple circle as long as you like, for nothing, always. Every other circle previews free for 5 minutes.
Previews never expire, and never nag. One purchase, shared with your family. No subscription.
Bowls is part of a small family of single-purpose meditation apps by Wuji, alongside Incense, Crystals, and the Wuji flagship.
