"The Beauty Within" employs biofeedback to generate beautiful artwork. It uses your state of Meditation and/or Attention as determined by the MindWave headset as the input for stunning animated graphics. "The Beauty Within" comes with seven different themes. For each theme you can set your training goal: Meditation, Attention, or both at the same time. The Meditation and Attention values are used to move a spiral. By increasing your Meditation and/or Attention you can move the spiral into the target zone. “The Beauty Within” will then measure the time you manage to stay in the zone. Create magnificent Mandalas, calm the waves of an ocean and let the sun rise, or let your meditation and attention values create a spoor that transforms into various animations as soon as you reach the target zone. Optionally, use sounds that notify you about entering or leaving the target zone, so you can even close your eyes during a session. Tap the screenshot icon to capture the graphics or to document your achievements. “The Beauty Within” is an innovative and playful attempt to train your inner relaxation and ability to focus. Once you are in the target zone, you will be challenged not to get distracted by the beautiful animations. IMPORTANT: This application requires the NeuroSky MindWave Mobile or MindWave Mobile-Plus headset available from www.neurosky.com! Other system requirements: - iPhone 5 or higher - iPad mini with Retina or higher - iPad Air or higher "The Beauty Within" is an universal App for iPad, iPhone, iPod. No In-App-Purchases or ads!

About

Quittin' Time

Features
Read full description

Work too much? Quittin' Time is the work timer that nags you to STOP — not to clock in. It tracks your real active work time and tells you when the day is done at 8 hours, so you actually close the laptop and go home. Every other work timer pushes you to log MORE hours. Quittin' Time does the opposite. It is built for people who lose track of time and overwork: a gentle, escalating reminder ladder that says it is quittin' time and means it. Start the timer when you begin. Pause it for lunch and breaks — Quittin' Time counts only the time you are truly working, never the wall clock. As you approach 8 hours, the nudges begin. Snooze once if you must, log a break, or just stop and go home. • Stop, don't start — a reminder ladder that escalates as you go past 8 hours, with a snooze cap so it never nags forever. • Active time only — pauses and breaks are excluded, so the total reflects real work, not time at your desk. • See where you stand — Today and This Week views track the day and the week against your goal. • Always one glance away — Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets plus a Live Activity keep your progress visible at a glance. • On your wrist — an Apple Watch glance and complications tell you how the day is going, with Snooze and Stop right there when you need them. • Just ask — Siri and Shortcuts answer "Am I done?", time worked today, time left, and when quittin' time lands, or log a break hands-free. • Fix the record — edit a start or end time, add a shift you forgot to start, or mark a day off for holidays and PTO. • Backups, free for everyone — save a point-in-time snapshot of your history to your own iCloud Drive and restore it whenever you need it, manually or automatically. On by default, and yours to turn off. • Sync if you want it — optional iCloud Sync keeps your history current across your devices, using your own iCloud. Off until you switch it on. Private by design. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking, and no data collected by the developer. Your history lives on your iPhone, and the optional Backup and Sync features use your own iCloud and nobody else's. A calm app that respects your time should respect your data too. Stop working at quittin' time. Download Quittin' Time and take your evenings back. Free to use. An optional one-time unlock adds deeper history, charts, fully custom goals and contracts, iCloud Sync, and the Apple Watch glance and complications — a single purchase, never a subscription.
