Return to focus. MONO is an interactive attention laboratory. Follow a moving dot, listen as a tone fades, or return to the rhythm of your breath. Choose a practice. Give it a minute or two. When your attention wanders, come back. PRACTICE YOUR ATTENTION • Follow the dot — stay with one moving point and its flowing ribbon. • Eye of the storm — keep one shape in view as others drift past. • Room to breathe — settle into a gentle breathing rhythm. • Afterimage — remember a sequence through a wash of color. • Sound thread — follow one tone among competing sounds. • Last sound — follow the global melody through its swells, fades, and quiet spaces. • Slow orbit — trace a dotted ring and gradually bring out singing harmonies. • Between the lines — stay with one signal in a shifting circle of color. • Color drift — return to one part of a living, responsive field. • Color cadence — follow a color through changing movement and musical cues. • Undertone — learn a tone, then find it among other sounds. • Bubble bath — return to the center as a field of colorful bubbles moves around it. MAKE IT YOURS Start with a three-minute Daily reset that begins with the featured Home artwork, or choose a 60-, 90-, or 120-second practice. Create your own playlists, choose their order and duration, and begin each practice when you are ready. Shape an original ambient soundscape with a finger: airy, warm, melodic, or gently percussive. Sound and timed practices pause when you lock your device or leave the app. Soft motion, responsive touch, and carefully placed haptics give each practice its own character. Adjust sound, volume, haptics, and motion to suit the moment. TAKE IT WITH YOU A short, interactive introduction welcomes you to MONO. Replay it from Settings whenever you like. Before you begin a practice, a short reminder offers a different perspective. After each practice, see what you practiced and one small way to carry it into your day. Save a reflection.
