About

Himalayan Singing Bowls

Features
Read full description

Two ancient tuning traditions, one app. All audio is generated in real time by a physics-based modal synthesis engine modeling the inharmonic partials of struck metal bowls. Tap a bowl to strike it. Tap silence to fade everything out. CHAKRA ALTAR — Seven bowls tuned to the classical chakra column, root to crown (A, B-flat, C, D, E, F, G). TREE OF LIFE — Ten Sephirot tuned to Hans Cousto's planetary frequencies from The Cosmic Octave (Kether through Malkuth), connected by the 22 Paths of Wisdom. SESSIONS — Three pre-rendered meditation tracks built from the same synth: Grounding (5 min), Heart Pentatonic (6 min), Seven Chakra Ascent (6 min). Each track has its own seek and volume controls. Designed for deep listening. Best with headphones or through a stereo system. Audio plays even when the phone is in silent mode.

The second you heat up is the second you send the message you will regret. One Second View is not a long course and not a chatbot. It does one job: put a brake on the peak of an impulse. You can: • Breathe on the home screen—tap to inhale, hold, and exhale • SOS Fire—full-screen calm with a photo that steadies you • Home Screen widget, Siri, and deep links—open SOS from the system, without waiting for the app to finish loading • 90-second cooldown—ride out the spike before you reply • Pre-send check—paste a draft, see risky tone, get gentler rewrites • Anchor kit—photos, memories, and a voice note from a calmer you • On-device lines—short prompts even offline • Recovery score and journal—see how you return to steady Guests can use SOS twice a day, then sign in. Sand Mandala and Journal still need an account. Pro removes the daily cap on SOS and most tools. This app is a pause-and-notice practice. It does not replace counseling, medical care, or emergency help. If you are in danger, contact local emergency services. Subscription details are in the in-app Support screen. Charges go through your Apple ID; manage or cancel in Settings.
