Foyer: A spatial audio ambient sound app that lives in your MacBook notch
By
Florent Berrez
Summary
Foyer is a Mac app that transforms ambient sound into a spatial audio experience. Instead of a flat list of sound toggles, users furnish a pixel-art office where each object (hearth, window, fountain) produces sound from a specific spatial location. The app uses real spatial audio so sounds come from distinct directions and get louder as you drag them closer. It's designed to sit unobtrusively in the MacBook notch while you work.

· 3 pulledEvery ambient-sound app I tried felt like a list of switches. You toggle 'rain,' you toggle 'fire,' and it all comes out of the same flat speaker in front of you. It never felt like anywhere.
So I made the sound into a place instead.
In Foyer you furnish a small pixel-art office, and the objects you put down are the sounds.
