### 2.2.0 — 2026-06-16

Some sounds can only be heard deep in the night.
Some updates happen quietly, without a trace.

We fixed a few things you might not have noticed—
like wiping the dust off a windowpane.

No need for words, just clarity.

We don’t chase trends or noise.
We simply tune the world, slowly,
until it hums at the frequency you love.
