Sumi vs Smart Noise Detector

The most beautiful thing an app can do is get out of your way. Sumi sits quietly on cream paper, holds your attention for an hour, and asks for nothing back. Set a length. Put your phone face down. Pick it up before the time is done and the session breaks — not as a punishment, but as a commitment kept. No ads. No notifications. No streaks-as-slot-machines. No weekly subscription trap. Just deep work, and the quiet record of the hours you've given it. — THE RITUAL — Set an intention and a length. Put the phone down. Sumi keeps watch: lift it, or leave the app, and the session ends. When the time is held, the line completes, your lifetime hours grow, and the session is logged. Silent while you work. Quietly rewarding when you finish. — A CALM LEDGER, NOT A GAME — The number that only goes up: your lifetime hours focused. A streak, if you want one. A week that fills, a line that climbs. No characters to feed, no points, no dark patterns. Progress you can feel, with nothing engineered to hook you. — MADE FOR DEEP-WORK PEOPLE — For writers, developers, designers, students of a craft — anyone who already romanticizes focus and resents apps built to fracture it. Graphite and cream. Monospace. Paper grain. A single calligraphic mark. — PAY ONCE — Your focus shouldn't be a recurring charge. Sumi is free to use, with an optional one-time Lifetime unlock (or a subscription, if you prefer) for custom lengths, full history and trends, themes, and session intentions. Put the phone down. Pick the work up. ——— Privacy Policy: https://dayonefoundry.com/sumi/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://dayonefoundry.com/sumi/terms

Smart Noise Detector helps you capture sounds that stand out from the background. Start monitoring, let the app measure the room for three seconds, and it will record automatically when the sound crosses your chosen threshold. AUTOMATIC RECORDING • Monitor relative sound levels in real time. • Choose a threshold of +12, +18, or +24 dB above the ambient baseline. • Save each sound event as a separate M4A file. • Stop each recording after two seconds below the threshold. • Recalibrate when your surroundings change. • Continue monitoring with background audio support. FIND AND SHARE YOUR RECORDINGS Review recordings by date, time, and duration. Play a recording or tap Share to send the audio file through the iOS share sheet, use AirDrop, or save a copy to Files. Tap Select to choose several recordings or select all, then review the count before deleting. Canceling keeps your selection, and any recordings that cannot be deleted stay in the list so you can try again. ENGLISH AND KOREAN The app supports English and Korean, with English as the default for other device languages. YOUR RECORDINGS STAY WITH YOU Recordings are stored on your device and remain available when you update the app. NoiseDetector does not collect your recordings or upload them to a server. Audio leaves the app only when you choose to share it. Sound levels are relative to your device microphone and are not calibrated sound pressure measurements. Use the app to review everyday sounds, noise events, or barking while monitoring is active.
