FLAMELET Flamelet is a very creative app for generating fractal art in a playful way. It does this by implementing the fractal-flame-algorithm, originally invented by Scott Draves, in a very versatile and efficient way. There is literally an endless number of possibilities, and you never will have seen all. Flamelet was designed from ground up for mobile devices, is easy to learn, but hard to master. This makes it an app, which has the potential to never become boring. DISCOVER YOUR CREATIVITY Flamelet gives you the freedom, either to create your own art from scratch, or to generate random flames and modify them. There are numerous flame-generators included, all of them with the potential to generate endless beauty. Speaking about art, the app can render your creations in a very decent quality, directly on the device, without any additional costs. ACTUALLY, CREATE FRACTAL ART Unlike to those fractal-zooming/scrolling-apps, Flamelet allows you to actually create fractal art. Either from scratch or by just modifying already created art with your fingertips. Both, a playful and an exact approach are supported: you may just drag around controls or enter exact numerical values. Of course, many combinations of formulas are already well-known, but you can try out your own ideas or just play around to find out new combinations. EXPLORE INIFINITE POSSIBILITIES Flamelet offers a lot of features to play around with: • create limitless combinations of functions, final transforms, transform groups, point transforms and color transforms • make use of about 90 included transforms • influence the tone mapping (balancing, contrast, …) • edit the background (use single color, gradients or images) • apply symmetry (point or axis symmetry with several options) • adjust colors (either by adjusting or creating gradients or by using images) PLAY AND RELAX While creating something from scratch can be very rewarding, just playing around with beautiful shapes can be much fun, and even be relaxing or healing. For this kind of use, Flamelet offers a large library of flame-generators, which create an endless number of random beauty. Additionally, there is the mutagen-module, which allows you to generate random variants ("mutations ") of a selected base flame in a very playful way. SHARE AND EXPORT You can easily share your flame parameters and rendered images with others from within the app. NO HIDDEN COSTS, NO ADS, WORK OFFLINE OR HOWEVER YOU WISH Everything is included when you purchase and install Flamelet. There are about 50 example flames, 12 images and 9 tutorials to get you started. The only other thing you need is your creativity (and your device to render your images). There are no ads, no artificial limits, no subscriptions, no loot-boxes, you have not to be online, …, and we do not collect any of your data! It’s just you – and your art. Have fun ! :-)

TetraOm is a personal navigation system for clarity and timing — built from your innate structure + dynamic period data (day / month / year). No ads. No noise. TetraOm integrates time cycles, structural transformation models, and individual mechanics into one coherent navigation system. It translates complex structures into usable daily clarity — without mysticism and without overload. TetraOm doesn’t tell you what to do. It shows where you are, what is more accessible, and what moves slower in the current period — personalized to you. After registration, you have enough free access to explore the system, understand how it works, and feel whether it resonates with you. From day one you can use: • Moment Axis — a stable inner frame for the day (not a live feed) Mental Clarity • Action & Tempo • Structure & Support • Daily Pulse — your daily flow: Strengths (where movement is natural) and Pauses (where energy softens — not “don’ts”) + 4 life themes: Health • Money • Love • Family Percentages are not “good/bad” — they show where the day is more active as a life stage. • Your Essence — your innate foundation: 10 themes × 9 levels, designed for revisiting and deeper recognition over time. Go deeper when you want a wider map: • Lunar Return — personalized monthly context • Solar Return — personalized yearly framework • Dream section — reflect on recurring patterns • Compatibility — relationship dynamics • Growth & reflection tools — deeper exploration How most people use TetraOm: Open → orient → act → close. 30–90 seconds a day is enough. No ads. Ever. The system is paid because we don’t sell people’s attention through advertising. PRO and ULTRA PRO unlock deeper layers (features depend on plan). In-app languages: English, Bulgarian, Italian, Spanish, French. TetraOm supports reflection and clarity and does not replace medical, psychological, financial, or legal advice.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Tetraom at Free against Flamelet's $3.99. Tetraom also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). Flamelet's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 11). On device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flamelet holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flamelet has 27 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Flamelet's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tetraom's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Flamelet ships an update every 5 months, Tetraom every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
