MAKE MUSICAL MACHINES! Link gears together to compose surprisingly complex rhythms and melodies. Runs as an AUv3 MIDI plugin in host apps like AUM and Logic Pro (for iPad), or as a standalone app so you can explore musical ideas on your iPhone or iPad whenever inspiration strikes! THE CONCEPT - Differently-sized gears define gear ratios, which produce polyrhythms. - The connection angle between gears determines note pitch. Use these simple principles to create generative compositions with a visually elegant user interface. Compose patterns that evolve over time, or perform live by changing and arranging gears on-the-fly. FEATURES - Set each gear's size, offset, velocity, duration, and MIDI channel. - Store multiple snapshots of your composition and smoothly transition between them. - Reposition groups of gears to transpose and re-harmonize multiple notes at the same time. - Almost any aspect of a composition can be randomized. - Control external software or hardware instruments when in standalone MIDI mode or as an AUv3 plugin. - Synchronizes with your DAW's timeline to play in time with other tracks. - Get started quickly with an onscreen tutorial and a bunch of factory presets. SOUNDS Select from internal sounds such as a sampled grand piano, a Wurlitzer, and a vintage synthesizer. Whether you want to create a live audio-visual performance, add a polyrhythmic layer to your project, or compose an ambient, meditative atmosphere, Phase Chimes will surprise you with something new every time you engage with it.

EverSpace is an algorithmic reverb designed for creating enormous spaces, evolving ambience and richly modulated echoes. Built upon the CloudSeed engine by Ghost Note Audio, its architecture draws inspiration from the algorithmic studio reverbs of the 1980s, where networks of delays and diffusion were used to create spaces that extended far beyond the limits of the physical world. Rather than attempting to recreate a particular room, hall or vintage hardware unit, EverSpace embraces the more creative possibilities of algorithmic reverb. Dense diffusion, multiple delay stages and extensive modulation allow sounds to bloom into vast, constantly moving environments — from spacious reflections and drifting echoes to seemingly endless atmospheric tails. At more extreme settings, EverSpace becomes much more than a conventional reverb. Simple sounds can be transformed into thick evolving pads, shimmering textures and expansive ambient soundscapes, with subtle variations within the reverb network ensuring that the resulting space remains alive and in motion. EverSpace can be used as a traditional send or insert effect, but it is at its best when treated as a creative sound-design tool where the reverb itself becomes part of the sound. Features ○ CloudSeed algorithmic reverb engine — a sophisticated multi-stage architecture inspired by classic algorithmic studio reverbs. ○ Early reflection and diffusion network — control density, delay, modulation and feedback to shape the initial character of the space. ○ Extensive late-reverb section — create everything from diffuse ambience to enormous, slowly evolving reverb tails. ○ Deep modulation — independently shape the movement of diffusion and delay stages for lush, animated spaces. ○ Multi-tap delay stage — adds rhythmic reflections, echoes and additional complexity before the main reverb network. ○ Integrated equalisation — low and high frequency shaping plus filtering to sculpt the colour and decay of the reverb. ○ Seed controls — regenerate the internal delay and diffusion structures to produce different variations from the same settings. ○ Interpolation modes — alter the behaviour and character of the internal delay network. ○ Real-time visualisation — waveform and frequency displays provide visual feedback as sounds enter and evolve through EverSpace.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Phase Chimes at 8 against EverSpace's 1. EverSpace's advantage is price ($7.99 vs $9.99) and iOS requirement (14 vs 16.6). On rating, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Phase Chimes costs $9.99 and EverSpace $7.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Phase Chimes against 5.0 for EverSpace. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Phase Chimes has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Phase Chimes ships an update every 2 weeks, EverSpace weekly. Both last shipped on October 8, 2026.
