The app offers three primary features to help users relieve stress and relax. The meditation section provides breathing exercises that encourage instant calm and help users find balance. The relaxing scenes and sounds section offers aesthetically pleasing videos and soothing sounds that provide an escape to nature. Lastly, the mini games section allows users to create melodies with a variety of instruments and sounds known for their calming properties.
Developed using Sketch, Principle, and Adobe After Effects, the app's user experience and user interface were carefully designed to create an intuitive and unobtrusive user flow. The musical effects and compositions were recorded in a professional studio and integrated into the app using Swift. Music Zen is available for all iOS devices.
Based on extensive research into how people recharge, Music Zen invites users to choose an activity according to their current emotional state. Whether it's creating calming music with specific instruments, immersing oneself in aesthetically pleasing nature videos, or engaging in breathing exercises and guided meditations, the app provides a range of options to promote relaxation and mindfulness.
Released in May 2018, Music Zen is available worldwide on the App Store. The app has received recognition for its innovative design and contribution to improving quality of life. In 2019, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Mobile Technologies, Applications, and Software Design category.
With its focus on simplicity, intuitive design, and evidence-based relaxation techniques, Music Zen is a valuable tool for anyone seeking to reduce stress, find balance, and embrace mindfulness in their daily lives.
