Great concept and aesthetics

Love the app. Would love the ability to mute the audio from this app so it doesn’t overlap with Spotify, etc.

Beautiful, simple… no customization

I love how beautiful and simple this app is - I just wish I could figure out how to turn the white noise feature off since I don’t want it playing over my music.

Excellent ! mais…

Respect de la vie privée = 👌
Mériterait de pouvoir fonctionner en arrière plein = sa serait utile lorsque l’on souhaite se concentrer pendant quelques minutes sur une autre app.

Just perfect!

It is just what I wanted. Simple, efficient and inobstructive. As a bonus it is aesthetically pleasing, which makes me want to use it even more 🫠

Can i pay for it somehow?

That’s so good
