Lightning
iOS, iPadOS, tvOS · Audio engine, hardware
Lightning turns a room into a thunderstorm. It plays storm soundscapes and syncs the light to the thunder — the screen falls to black, then pulses with every rumble, and on the loudest strikes it fires the camera flash like real lightning.
Get it on the App StoreThe storm
- Storm soundscapes with the light driven from the thunder, strike by strike
- Set the storm's distance and the thunder trails the flash, the way it does outside
- The camera flash fires on the loudest strikes — best in a dark room, sound through speakers or headphones
- Immersion modes: screen only, a soft ambient glow, or warm-to-cool lightning colour
Made to fall asleep to
- A sleep timer that fades the audio and the light down to black rather than cutting out, so it never jolts you awake
- Gapless playlists with seamless crossfade between storms
- A StandBy and Lock Screen storm clock
On the big screen
- Apple TV runs the same storm in the living room — the screen falls dark, then patches of it flash and glow like lightning moving through a cloud, and the whole sky lights up on the loudest strikes
- No camera flash, haptics, or StandBy clock there: an Apple TV has no torch and no Taptic Engine, so the light is carried entirely on screen
