Built in Cologne. Backed by research. Made by hand.
Sotuno is made by Kiwimo-Product GmbH, a software company in Cologne that has spent years building systems businesses rely on every day. We are building Sotuno the same way: carefully, with people who know their craft, and with claims we can stand behind.
From a tool we needed to a product we are proud of.
- Based in Cologne, Germany
- Research-informed, own studies in preparation for 2027
- GDPR-compliant, hosted in ISO 27001-certified data centres in Germany
For years we have built software for companies: systems that run quietly and reliably in the background of somebody else's working day. That shaped how we think about tools. The best ones disappear.
Music was the one tool that never did. We spent hours a day in music apps that kept interrupting: a song with lyrics in the middle of a paragraph, an ad in the middle of a session, a recommendation in the middle of falling asleep. So we started composing long, wordless sessions for the office and for the evening, and reading the research on why some sound helps and most does not. Sotuno grew out of that.
Today we work with established artists who bring science and music together, and who use music to concentrate themselves. Every session is composed, played and mixed by hand. Software helps us arrange, extend and mix. No AI-generated music. We are finalising the first collaborations now and will introduce the artists before launch.
We are opening the doors in small waves before the 2027 launch, and we are preparing medical studies for 2027 with clinical partners, so that what we say about Sotuno rests on data of our own. There is no plan for a feed, a social layer or a recommendation engine. Sotuno is a tool. It should feel like one.
Three things we will not compromise on.
Short enough to remember, specific enough to hold us to.
A tool, not a feed
You set a goal, set a timer and press play. No scrolling, no recommendations, no "up next". The whole interface fits on one screen and stays that way.
Privacy first
Your data stays on servers in Germany, in ISO 27001-certified data centres. No ads, no selling of data. We store what we need to invite you and to run your account, nothing more.
Evidence, stated honestly
Sotuno is a wellness product, not a medical device. We name the studies behind our production rules, we say where the evidence is thin, and we are preparing studies of our own for 2027 to close the gaps.
