Hello ProductHunt community! So grateful to have been hunted and received so warmly 🥰 At Olo, we have spent 10 years studying and gathering incredible sounds in-person from some of the world’s most biodiverse regions. As a lifelong musician and composer myself, I have woven these sounds into spatial soundscapes that have been researched and proven to bring listeners to a different state of alertness and calm simultaneously. I invite those particularly interested in improving their decision-making and recovery to give Olo a try. In as little as 5 minutes, I am confident you will feel a difference. In light of waking up to this lovely PH surprise, we have decided to create a limited-time bundle offer of the Olo Invision eye mask ($35) + Olo 1-Year Subscription ($50-100 value) for only $49.99, for PH community members today: iOS: https://apple.co/3WnJPij Android: https://bit.ly/4fosj6c - Markus

I got a chance to join an Ola soundscape experience IRL. Very impressive. Similar to breathwork, it took me different places during the ~40 min session.
Markus Pesonen
@rrhoover truly appreciate the support! it was great having you at the Olo live experience in SF.

I've been a long time Olo user and I love the product. These are the highlights for me: - It's completely different than a meditation app, Olo has relaxing sound of nature and music blended in - It's a beautiful app, and removes all the clutter of modern apps - My favorite is either walking around town with Olo playing, or sitting down at a desk doing deep work Keep up the great work Olo team! I look forward to seeing the product help more people!

Pavel Bocharov
Congrats on the launch! As a sound engineer in the past, I really like your product because I like all these ambient sounds which help me concentrate and relax. And the design is awesome, so clean and intuitive. Trying it out now and it's awesome! Upvoted!
Catarina Brazão
@pavel_bocharov thanks for the feedback! Very appreciated. Anything that comes up with the use of Olo, please let us know. We're always happy to hear any feedback and thoughts. Have a great day!

Olo is a great product. I'm a founder myself, and stress is an inevitable part of the work. None of the meditation apps were helpful for me, and I stopped believing in them until I met Markus in NYC and found out about Olo! I 100% recommend trying it out! Best of luck with the launch, and kudos to the whole team!
Catarina Brazão
@dmytro_khlopkov Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear that Olo is helping you. I've had a similar experience with meditation apps, and I truly believe that without Olo, I wouldn't be able to accomplish as much as I am today.
Ilkka Mäkitalo
I have been following Olo for several years. Good luck for the launch. Great product with beautiful design and incrediblr sound jorneys!
Markus Pesonen
@ilkka_makitalo thank you for supporting our mission! Connecting with your words gives me perspective on how far we have come and at the same time its still day 1.

The sound journey experience is amazing. I tried it IRL. With just sounds, you're taken through a journey. For me, the journey was of sounds I grew up with in childhood: rain, forest, sea, birds, children playing in rural areas. It's lovely!
Markus Pesonen
@jimmyechan Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s wonderful to hear how the sound journey resonated with your childhood memories and brought such a nostalgic and immersive experience. Our aim is to create deeply personal and meaningful soundscapes, and it’s heartwarming to know it had such a positive impact on you. Your support and feedback mean a lot to us!

Markus and team have built something that is easy to use and highly effective. I've used the app and my 11-year-old daughter has too. I was lucky enough to attend one of the team's in-person events earlier this year and was blown away. Excited to see how the team continues to advance the app.
Yash Khandelwal
No doubt, the experience is mesmerising. Looking forward to more updates! Kudos @markuspesonen and team!
Catarina Brazão
@y_khandelwal Thank you so much! There are a few exciting things in the pipeline coming out soon. I hope you continue enjoying Olo and experiencing its many benefits.

This product is something that i have been looking for. But i am an IOS user. Do you have the plans to release them in IOS in your roadmap?
James Corner
@disha_divya I use it on iOS and I’ve got my 5 year old son using it too as part of our bedtime routine!
Markus Pesonen
@james_corner1 so cool to hear that. i’ve heard from several parent using with kids with success!
Catarina Brazão
@disha_divya I'm happy to hear that you've been looking for Olo :). Here's the iOS link: Android: https://bit.ly/4fosj6c

@james_corner1 This is interesting... Does it also calm a crying kid...? Coz i remember my nephew, calms down with a specific music.
James Corner
@disha_divya I honestly haven’t tried that but I sure will next time he gets upset! I definitely would play his favorite songs or sing to him when he was a baby and needed to calm down, or at least be distracted from whatever caused the meltdown. Don’t see why it wouldn’t work the same with Olo…but I’ve used it more actively with him to teach the concept of meditation and mindfullness and get him in a relaxed state to fall asleep.

Hello, ProductHunt community! How exciting it is to have Olo hunted here. This has been a great journey, and I know we’re just starting. I’m very happy and grateful for all the people here who upvoted us and shared your kind words. Your support means the world to us! As a co-founder and psychosomatic practitioner of over 20 years, I’m excited to share Olo because Markus and I have spent the last 10 years harnessing the power of sound to create truly profound neurosensory experiences. Our research has shown that Olo’s somatic sound journeys can simultaneously induce a state of alertness and calm, creating a unique balance in the nervous system. And this has powerful implications in decision-making, recovery, and overall well-being. I invite those interested in exploring the mind-body connection to try Olo. To celebrate our Product Hunt feature, we’re offering a special bundle offer: the Olo Invision eye mask ($35) + Olo 1-Year Subscription ($50-100 value) for only $49.99, for PH community members today: iOS: https://apple.co/3WnJPij Android: https://bit.ly/4fosj6c Looking forward to hearing about your experiences with Olo!

Martyn Strydom
Been using it for a while, and its such a good alternative to mediation! Use it about 2-3 times a day, where to fall asleep, when walking or sometimes even while working!
Catarina Brazão
@martyn_strydom I'm so happy to hear that! It’s great to know that Olo has become a part of your daily routine. Finding an alternative to meditation was one of the reasons we created Olo. Thank you for being part of the Olo community!
James Corner
@martyn_strydom @catarina_brazao Yes! That’s one of the best things about Olo! So many uses no matter where you are mentally, emotionally or physically. I started by using Olo primarily for sleep, but now it’s my go to for so many situations. If Im having high anxiety, it helps quiet the noise. If I’m tired or not feeling it, Olo recharges the battery. If I’m stuck on a challenging problem, Olo gets me in my flow state and my most productive zone.
Catarina Brazão
@james_corner1 it’s so true. Olo is a great neurosensory modulator and that’s why it works so well in many apparently different situations.
Edo Perry
I recently attended one of Olo's in-person sessions, and it was just so magical, peaceful and truly an experience everyone needs to try once at least. I LOVEEEEE their app, and brand is awesome!!!!
Markus Pesonen
@edoperry Thanks a ton, Edo! It was great meeting you at the session. Really happy to hear you had such a magical experience and love what we're doing. Hope to see you again soon!
Johan Steneros
This is different and looks really awesome. Downloading as we speak.
Markus Pesonen
@jsteneros, thank you! I'm looking forward to hearing about your first impressions!
Jessica English
Thrilled to see this come to life in this community! I have been using Olo for nearly a year now and the product keeps getting better and is now a staple in my toolset of personal development. I’ve had a dysregulated nervous system for as long as I can remember and this app is what I’ve been waiting for. I mostly use it during the day when I either want to snap into deep work quickly or completely shut my mind off. I mostly use Dissolve (the longest sound journey). Excited to see more people access this powerful app!
Catarina Brazão
@jessica_english I'm so happy to hear that Olo is part of your personal development toolset and about the ways you use it. I can't tell you the amount of things that I can do now because of having a more regulated nervous system that I couldn't before using Olo. Thank you for your continued support!
Krister Alasaarela
Super excited for the launch! I’ve been a user of Olo since the beta days. Olo has been an eye opener for me when it comes to meditation and mindfulness. I can highly recommend Olo!
Catarina Brazão
@krister_alasaarela thank you for your support all the way! Olo helps us reach meditative states in a very effortless way.
