Z Snap vs Mandaza

To celebrate the release of Infinite Looper and Aleph Looper, we're making this app free! If you're a musician (or know one), Infinite Looper is worth checking out. There's more info here: http://www.secretbasedesign.com/apps/infinite-looper.html for more info! And if you're not a musician, and just want an amusing app (that fell out of a running joke with the app development team), have fun with Z Snap! ---- Too fabulous and on fleek to hassle with snapping your fingers? Let Z Snap do it for you. Just move your phone in the shape of the Z, and it will make a crisp snapping sound for you! Or maybe you need to get everyone moving with the crack of a whip? Z Snap will do that too. Z Snap uses the acceleration sensors of your phone to find the perfect time to emphasize what you're saying, and get your point across. No iPhone is complete without it!

Mandaza creates procedural ambient mandalas on your device in real time. Tap the canvas for a new pattern, tune the look, and save high-resolution images for wallpapers. Keep favorites and let your widgets rotate through them automatically. Features: - Real-time generative canvas with smooth animated loop drawing - 12 curated color palettes - Two canvas moods: luminous Void and ink-on-parchment Paper - Zen Mode from the center footer button — optional clock overlay with digital, stacked, and editorial forms, plus opacity, type, size, and eight positions - Music responsivity in Zen: the mandala pumps on the beat and quickens with nearby sound (Reactivity slider). Audio is never recorded or stored - Adjustable tilt parallax on iPhone and Apple Watch, with layered depth, axis control, and a faint ambient sway while Zen rests - Favorites with quick recall and Previous history - Home Screen and StandBy widgets - Export presets for iPhone, iPad, and Square 4K - Deterministic seeds for reproducible visuals - Apple Watch companion: a full watch face with tap to regenerate, Digital Crown to cycle palettes, and long-press for settings — your iPhone's look mirrors to the watch automatically, and Send to Watch pushes the current or any favorited design to your wrist instantly Privacy first: Mandaza runs on-device, with no account and no analytics. Photos access is requested only when you choose Save. Microphone access is requested only if you turn on Music responsivity, to read ambient sound levels for the live visual pulse — audio is processed in memory and is never recorded, stored, or sent anywhere.
