Description A little privacy, just a tap away. EcoLady plays running water and nature sounds to help cover unwanted bathroom noise. Instead of running water just for sound, tap the droplet and let EcoLady play—at home or on the go. ■ Control from your Apple Watch Start and stop playback, adjust the volume, and switch continuous playback on or off without taking out your iPhone. Requires EcoLady on a paired iPhone. ■ Find your favorite sound combination Choose from 10 main sounds, including running water, a stream, a forest, rain, white noise, and pink noise. Add one of 8 accompanying sounds, such as birdsong, wind, wind chimes, or water drops. Adjust each sound’s volume to find a balance you like. ■ Simple to use Tap the droplet to start playback. The sound stops after your selected duration. Need more time? Turn on continuous playback. When you stop manually, the sound fades out gently. ■ Make it your own Choose from cats, a bear, alpacas, and backgrounds featuring collaborating artists. Supported characters can also be combined with patterns and background colors. ■ Save your favorite settings Use presets to change your sound, volume, playback duration, and other playback preferences together. Save your own combinations for next time. ■ Keep track of your daily Eco habits View when you used EcoLady, your usage count, and estimated water savings. Set the amount of water used per flush to match your toilet. ■ Back up your settings and records Save and restore backups using files, or enable automatic backups to iCloud. Water savings are estimates based on avoiding one flush used solely to mask sound. EcoLady does not measure actual water savings.
