7 Best Noisli Alternatives in 2026 (Android & Mac Included)

Disclosure: Slo is developed by the team behind this guide. We include it alongside other apps because we believe in transparency. All app information is sourced from official app store listings.

Noisli discontinued its Android app in 2023 and has never released a native Mac app, so it now runs only on the web and iOS. If that leaves a gap in your setup, the seven best Noisli alternatives in 2026 are Slo, myNoise, White Noise by TMSOFT, Dark Noise, Noizio, BetterSleep, and Brain.fm. Between them they cover every platform — Android, Mac, and web — with a mix of free options, one-time purchases, and full sound mixers.

Prefer the browser? Try our free online brown noise player — it runs in any browser with no download or signup, so you can start listening while you decide which app to install.

Below is a quick summary, followed by a closer look at each app, a side-by-side comparison table, and answers to the questions people ask most about switching away from Noisli.

Slo — cross-platform mixer (iOS, Android, Mac) with a 70+ sound library
myNoise — the best free, cross-platform alternative with deep frequency control
White Noise by TMSOFT — budget one-time purchase with an Android app
Dark Noise — polished Apple-only app with widgets and Shortcuts
Noizio — minimalist, Apple-first mixer at a low one-time price
BetterSleep — all-in-one sleep app with 300+ sounds on iOS and Android
Brain.fm — functional focus music for people who used Noisli mainly to concentrate

What to Look for in a Noisli Alternative

Most people search for a Noisli alternative for one of three reasons: they moved to Android and lost access, they want a native Mac app, or they want a bigger sound library. When comparing options, weigh:

Platform coverage — Does it run where you actually work? Android, Mac, and web support vary widely.
Sound mixing — Noisli’s appeal is layering sounds at individual volumes. Not every alternative offers a true mixer.
Sound variety — From noise colors to nature recordings, more sounds means more room to find your combination.
Pricing model — One-time purchase, freemium, donation, or subscription. Noisli’s iOS app is a one-time $1.99, which sets a low bar.
Focus features — Noisli bundled a text editor and Pomodoro timer. If you used it for work, a focus-oriented alternative may fit better.

1. Slo

Platforms: iOS, Android, Mac Pricing: Free with premium subscription available Sounds: 70+

Slo is the most direct fix for Noisli’s biggest limitation: it runs natively on iOS, Android, and macOS, so you keep the same mixer whether you’re on a phone, tablet, or desktop. The library spans 70+ sounds including brown, white, and pink noise, nature recordings, and atmospheric audio, and the built-in mixer lets you layer several sounds with individual volume controls. A free tier covers a selection of sounds, with a premium subscription unlocking the full library.

Best for: Anyone who wants Noisli-style mixing but needs an Android or Mac app.

2. myNoise

Platforms: iOS, Android, Web Pricing: Free / donation-based Sounds: 300+ calibrated generators

myNoise is the best free Noisli alternative, and it works everywhere Noisli doesn’t — including Android and the web. Created by a signal-processing engineer, each generator uses per-frequency sliders instead of a traditional mixer, letting you tune sound to your exact hearing profile. It runs on a donation model rather than subscriptions, so the core experience is free.

Best for: People who want the deepest, most scientific sound customization at no cost.

3. White Noise by TMSOFT

Platforms: iOS, Android, Windows Pricing: $0.99 one-time (free ad-supported tier) Sounds: 50+

If you liked Noisli’s one-time pricing but need Android, White Noise by TMSOFT is the closest match. It offers 50+ sounds, a mixer for custom combinations, alarm integration, and a community marketplace of user-recorded sounds. There’s a free ad-supported tier, and the paid version is a one-time purchase with no subscription.

Best for: Budget-minded users who want an Android app and a one-time price.

4. Dark Noise

Platforms: iOS, Mac Pricing: $19.99/year (8 sounds free) Sounds: 50+

Dark Noise is an Apple-native app that gives you the Mac coverage Noisli lacks, along with deep system integration — Siri Shortcuts, widgets, and iCloud sync. It ships 8 free sounds, with the full 50+ library and customization unlocked by subscription. There’s no Android version, so this is an Apple-ecosystem pick.

Best for: Apple users who want a polished, tightly integrated mixer on iPhone and Mac. See our Slo vs Dark Noise comparison.

5. Noizio

Platforms: iOS, Mac Pricing: $2.99 one-time (5 sounds free) Sounds: 40+

Noizio is a minimalist, Apple-first mixer with a menu-bar app on macOS — handy for keeping ambient sound running in the background while you work. Its 40+ sounds mix with individual volume sliders, and 5 are free before a low one-time unlock. Like Noisli, it has no maintained Android app, so it suits Apple users who want simplicity and a one-time price.

Best for: Mac users who want a lightweight, always-available ambient sound tool. See our Slo vs Noizio comparison.

6. BetterSleep

Platforms: iOS, Android Pricing: Free tier / $59.99/year Sounds: 300+

BetterSleep (formerly Relax Melodies) is the option to reach for if you want far more than Noisli offered. Its 300+ sounds mix across up to 12 layers, and the app adds guided meditations, sleep stories, and breathing exercises. It runs on both iOS and Android with a free tier and an optional subscription.

Best for: People who want a full sleep toolkit alongside sound mixing.

7. Brain.fm

Platforms: iOS, Android, Web Pricing: Free trial / $69.99/year Sounds: Functional music (not a mixer)

Many people used Noisli purely to concentrate. If that’s you, Brain.fm takes a different approach: instead of ambient noise, it generates AI-composed functional music engineered for focus, with an ADHD focus mode. It’s not a sound mixer, but it directly serves the productivity use case Noisli was built around, and it works on iOS, Android, and the web.

Best for: Former Noisli users who cared about focus more than ambient noise itself. Compare it in our Slo vs Brain.fm guide.

How to Choose

Need an Android app? Slo, myNoise, White Noise, BetterSleep, and Brain.fm all run on Android — Slo and White Noise most closely match Noisli’s mixer style.

Want a native Mac app? Slo, Dark Noise, and Noizio all offer one; Slo is the only one of the three that also covers Android.

Want it free? myNoise is the strongest free, cross-platform option, and Slo’s free tier lets you try mixing before paying.

Prefer paying once? White Noise ($0.99) and Noizio ($2.99) keep Noisli’s one-time model.

Used Noisli mainly for focus? Brain.fm and our best focus sound apps guide are the better fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Noisli still free?

Partly. The Noisli web app has a limited free tier — you can use it in short sessions, but longer use and full features require a Noisli Pro subscription. The iOS app is a separate one-time purchase (around $1.99) rather than a subscription.

Does Noisli have an Android app?

No. Noisli discontinued its Android app in 2023, and it is no longer on the Google Play Store. It now runs only on the web and iOS, with no native Android or macOS version. Android users typically switch to alternatives like Slo, myNoise, or White Noise by TMSOFT.

What is the best free Noisli alternative?

myNoise is the best free, cross-platform alternative — it’s donation-based and runs on iOS, Android, and the web, with deep per-frequency control. Slo is a good second option if you want a traditional layered mixer, since its free tier lets you try mixing before subscribing.
