A Mac running macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, or an iPhone on iOS 17 or later. Foyer is a universal app — one purchase covers both. It's light on battery and memory and works completely offline. On the Mac it lives in the menu bar, so it works on every Mac; no notch required.

Foyer is free to use: keep any number of rooms, with up to three sounds playing at once in each.

"Unlock Foyer" is a one-time purchase that removes the three-sound limit and adds unlimited rooms, scheduling, Shortcuts and Focus filters, and iCloud sync. It is not a subscription, and it never expires.

Make sure you're signed into the App Store with the Apple Account you purchased with, then use Restore Purchases on Foyer's unlock screen. Purchases follow your Apple Account, so the unlock works on every Mac and iPhone you sign into.

Check that the room is playing, that it actually has a sound or two placed in it, and that your device volume and output are set as expected. On Mac the menu-bar orb is filled while playing (check System Settings → Sound); on iPhone, make sure the ringer/silent switch isn't muting playback and that volume is up.

Every sound is an orb you place on the canvas around you, and the audio engine positions it in space: orbs near the center play louder, orbs to the left and right pan accordingly. Move an orb and its sound moves with it.

Purchases are handled by Apple, so refunds are too: visit reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, and request a refund for the unlock. Apple decides per their policy, usually within a day or two.

All bundled sounds are ambient recordings, lightly edited for seamless looping.
