Meet Hush - a tiny, elegant sound studio for focus, relaxation, and sleep. No recurring subscription or in-app purchases. Tap Play for a great default mix, or open Studio to fine-tune every detail: beat rate, base tone, and the exact β€œcolor” of noise from Brown to Violet. Headphones recommended for binaural beats. Why you’ll like it β€’ Press play, done. A balanced Focus/Unwind/Sleep preset starts instantly. β€’ Smooth by design. Every change ramps inβ€”no clicks, pops, or jumps. β€’ Dial it in. Set beat rate (0.5–35 Hz), base tone, and tone/noise mix with fine control. β€’ Headphone-smart. Detects headphones and offers a friendly mono preview when they’re not. β€’ Set and forget. 5/15/30-minute or ∞ timers with a gentle fade-out at the end. β€’ Comfort first. Optional safe-volume cap keeps listening easy on the ears. β€’ Made to feel right. Big Play button, haptic detents at meaningful values, clear labels. β€’ Always ready. Works offlineβ€”no account, no sign-in, no distractions. Hush can play two things at once: 1. Binaural beat - two nearby tones (one per ear) that create a perceived beat at their difference. 2. Colored noise - white/pink/brown/blue/violet shaped to sound darker or brighter. Mix them to taste, save your vibe, and let the timer handle the rest. Notes β€’ Binaural beats require stereo headphones to function as intended. β€’ Hush is for relaxation and focus only. It is not a medical device and makes no health claims.

TaskBuzz is the social task manager for people who actually have to live, plan, and finish things together β€” partners, roommates, families, small teams, side-project collaborators. Build a list. Share it. Assign tasks. Talk about them in line. And when something really can't wait, hit Buzz β€” your friend's phone vibrates and lights up wherever they are. β€” WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT β€” - Comments on every task. No more dropping into iMessage for "did you actually buy oat milk?" β€” the conversation lives with the task.

Rate-limited (2 buzzes per task per day) so it stays respectful. - Shared lists with smart sharing. Trusted friends are added instantly; everyone else gets an invite they can accept or decline. Co-members who aren't your friends can be added on the spot - Three views for three brains. "My Lists" for what you own, "Assigned to Others" for what you delegated, "Assigned to Me" for what's on your plate. Red dot indicators show unread comments at every level. β€” EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS β€” - Phone-number sign-in. One account per number, no passwords. - Due dates + time pickers with smart "yellow when due soon, red when overdue" coloring. - Recurring tasks: weekly, monthly, yearly β€” every 1 week, every 3 months, whatever cadence you need. - Pin a task or a whole list to the top. - Copy & paste lists in and out: every line becomes a task, every task can be copied back to chat or notes. - Progress dashboard on your Profile tab β€” total vs done, overdue, due-soon, a 7-day completion sparkline, streak counter, and a breakdown of created/delegated/on-your-plate. - GOD Mode: see your tasks, lists, and friends as one living, force-directed graph. Tap any node to drill in. - Voice intent shortcuts. "Hey Siri, add task to TaskBuzz" and you're typing into a new task. - Offline-friendly. Browse your lists when the network drops; changes sync when you're back. β€” PRIVACY FIRST β€” β€’ Phone number, task titles, descriptions, and comment content are encrypted at rest. β€’ No ads.
