### 5/5 — Exactly what I’ve been looking for

*2025-09-28*

There is something about the sound of chimes that is so relaxing… but just any chime sounds.   That is why this is the app I needed.  The customizable tones make it easy for me to find the sounds that exactly suit me.  Plus I get to set the duration.  When I’m in a hotel, I set it to shut off after I know I’ll be asleep.  On a plane, I leave it running to drown out all of the other sounds around me so I can sleep comfortably.

### 4/5 — Very pleasant vibes with this

*2025-07-28*

Wonderful choice of tones and “background environments” plus wind speed & volume. It takes a while to go thru the options to find your “perfect” vibe(s) - still working on mine. I do wish there were some higher octaves and (this is a nit) - widdershins or “no spin” 
doesn’t work most of the time, but it doesn’t affect the sound anyway. I highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Calming if you can focus

*2022-12-30*

I find it difficult to focus when meditating or sitting still, but the tones in these chimes I’m somehow able to genuinely focus my attention on and leave my surroundings to the oblivion of reality.
It’s a bonus to be able to adjust wind speed and other features that other apps rarely offer or they do if you pay.

A Halloween update for you!
This update sports the following goodies:
- A brand new, season-appropriate ambience, "Spooky"!

- Updated IAP Package.

### 1.1.6 — 2023-04-11

Hotfix: 
- Fixed a major bug where the wind would stop blowing after one gust. 
- I also fixed a bug where the wind would abruptly stop when the time ran out, now it gently stops. 
- Finally, I also adjusted the number of wind particles visible for aesthetic purposes.

I'm very sorry for letting a bug this major go unnoticed for so long, I hope this won't sour your opinion of the app and that you can continue to enjoy it!

### 1.1.5 — 2023-03-09

1.1 update!!! There's a lot of improvements in this version and new features too! It's taken much longer than expected, but I think everyone will be happy with everything I've done.

Changelog
- new ambience
- reworked underwater ambience
- new palettes
- palettes now shift between each other when changing them
- switched to using an external package for snapping between items in a scrollable list
- new logo, icon, loading screen, main menu screen
- chimes spin now, instead of camera, gives more accurate sound profile
- improved visuals: shadows and anti aliasing
- fixed issue with sleep screen not covering entire screen
- moved all managers to use singletons, allowing for easier iteration of new features
- reduced file size
- improved load times via removal of unnecessary items in the scene.
- various minor bug fixes that really bothered me.

There are still some issues that need to be addressed, like the beeping noise the chimes make if you enable "environment affects chimes" option and use the underwater ambience, but I've taken enough time with this update so that will have to be fixed in a future update.
