HOSONO Radio is a special sound player that captures the essence of vintage radio. Turn the dial to tune into different frequencies, and each frequency plays a unique sound of nature, just like a real radio. Eight natural frequencies prepared for those tired of urban noise. At 88.1MHz, rain sounds from Shibuya's alleys await you, while at 91.2MHz, waves from Kamakura Beach welcome you. From cricket chirps in Nara's bamboo forests to crackling campfires in Hokkaido's snowfields, each sound plays in perfect loops, continuing naturally without interruption. For moments requiring focus or nights needing peaceful sleep, HOSONO Radio is with you. Set the sleep timer and it automatically stops after your desired time, helping you drift into comfortable slumber. The warm orange glow of the vintage radio display and the tactile experience of the analog dial bring analog leisure to the digital age. We believe every sound has its own unique frequency. Starting with Earth's nature sounds, we'll soon bring you whispers from the stars. Create a small sanctuary in your daily life with HOSONO Radio. Each turn of the dial opens a new world.

계획을 못 세워도 괜찮아요. 기록을 하나씩 쌓아가면 돼요. Tiny Log는 거창한 시간관리 앱이 아닙니다. 매일 내가 한 일을 간단히 기록하고, 그 기록이 쌓이는 걸 보면서 성취감을 느끼는 앱이에요. ■ 카테고리별 활동 기록 공부, 운동, 독서 등 나만의 카테고리를 만들고, 오늘 얼마나 했는지 타이머로 기록하세요. 카테고리마다 이모지를 지정할 수 있어요. ■ 매일 체크하는 할 일 반복되는 작은 습관들을 체크박스로 관리하세요. 매일 체크하는 것만으로도 꾸준함이 쌓여요. ■ 달력에서 한눈에 내가 기록한 날들이 달력에 표시돼요. 기록이 쌓이는 걸 보면서 "나 잘하고 있구나"를 느낄 수 있어요. ■ 쉬는 날 체크 쉬는 날도 당당하게 표시하세요. 기록이 비어도 흐름이 끊기지 않아요. 쉬는 것도 잘 사는 거니까요. ■ 통계 카테고리별 활동 시간을 차트로 확인하세요. 이번 주, 이번 달 얼마나 했는지 한눈에 볼 수 있어요. ■ 홈 화면 위젯 앱을 열지 않아도 홈 화면에서 바로 타이머를 시작하고 오늘의 기록을 확인할 수 있어요. ■ 완전한 오프라인, 완전한 프라이버시 모든 데이터는 기기에만 저장돼요. 서버에 전송되지 않고, 계정도 필요 없어요. 거창한 목표가 없어도 괜찮아요. 작은 기록을 매일 쌓아가다 보면, 어느새 나를 가꿔온 시간이 보일 거예요.
