This is a straightforward app to help you achieve a chosen mind-state by generating what are known as "binaural beat audio waves" through your headphones, either from your iOS device or your Apple Watch. Depending on the frequency that you pick, based on the chart included in the app, it can potentially help with sleep, meditation, relaxation, or even for getting a short burst of energy. I have used similar apps for a while and have found them useful in helping me relax, or helping me float into a creative mood - Except most are overloaded with features that I never use and also cost money, have in-app purchases for "special programmes" and so on. So I decided to build one that does the same, works offline, has no ads or spying, works well, and is free. There's also an Apple Watch app included which you can use if you're mediating or relaxing away from your phone. As such, this app just generates the binaural frequency audio hum, and some optional white or brown noise to help mask outside sounds. You can then put it in the background and combine its audio with any other sound generator you like, or play music, radio, and so forth. All it does is to create the useful brainwave frequency, and then it gets out of your way.

Nurtli is a calm, science-led skincare journal. Instead of telling you what to buy, it helps you notice what your own skin tends to respond to — over time, from your own logs. A microbiologist in your pocket: no hype, no brand deals, no good-or-bad verdicts. HOW IT WORKS Check in each day in a few taps — how your skin feels (Great, Fine, Off or Rough), anything you'd flag, the products you used, and a little life context. Over time, Nurtli quietly surfaces patterns: things that tend to appear near calmer days, and things worth watching. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Daily check-in — a 15-second read of your skin, with optional flags, lifestyle context, photos and notes. • Routine & products — build your AM/PM routine and a reusable product library, with full ingredient lists. • Ingredient library — hundreds of ingredients and microbes, explained through the lens of your skin barrier and microbiome, written by a microbiologist with citations. • Scan & learn — scan a product's barcode to read its ingredients, formula notes and allergen flags (Nurtli Plus). • Your patterns — the Nurtli Signal Engine finds gentle, observational patterns in your own logs, with trends, charts and honest confidence levels (Nurtli Plus). • Microbiome Minutes & Nurtli Notes — short reads and long-form, single-author science. No AI-generated content, ever. WHAT NURTLI WON'T DO • No scores, no traffic lights, no "good" or "bad" ingredients. • No product recommendations, no "buy this instead," no shopping links. • No AI run on your photos — they're a private memory aid, nothing more. • No diagnosing, no medical claims. Nurtli helps you observe; it doesn't treat. PRIVACY IS A FEATURE Your check-ins and photos stay on your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ooooo at none against Nurtli's 2. Ooooo also leads on device support (4 vs 1). Nurtli's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (18.4 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
