Read full description

Use your iPhone/iPad as a microphone and output sound to headphones or speakers. You can also use it to record audio instead of playing sound. The app comes with four built-in effects. Stereo input is available on compatible devices only. The microphone on the iPhone is positioned vertically, so by using it in landscape orientation, you can experience a greater sense of stereo sound. Please note that this app was created just for my personal use, and I cannot guarantee its performance on devices I do not own.

Code Rain Clock

Features
Read full description

A Matrix-inspired digital rain clock for iPhone and iPad. Turn your device into a cyber desk clock with cascading code and a clean digital time display — perfect for focus sessions or winding down. Customize the clock’s color, size, position, and 12/24-hour format, or hide the clock entirely and enjoy the rain alone. Your chosen color applies across the digital rain so you can create your own cyber aesthetic. The screen stays awake while the app is open, so you can leave it running as a clock. For longer use, we recommend lowering screen brightness.
