How it works: 1. Choose a color and icon 2. The host creates a session and shares the 6-digit code 3. The guest joins with the code 4. Use HUD Beacon and Map to help find the paired user 5. Use Flash Beacon as a bright visual signal when you are close Key features: Session code pairing: connect two users without an account HUD Beacon: camera HUD guidance for finding your paired user Map support: view paired-user location guidance Flash Beacon: use your screen as a bright visual beacon Color and icon customization: make yourself easier to recognize Simple, fast UI: built for quick use when you are on the move In-app purchases: Flash Beacon includes optional one-time icon pack purchases and an optional Beacon Pro monthly subscription. Beacon Pro lets the host create sessions, use HUD Beacon, use Map support, and access all icon packs while active. Only the host needs Beacon Pro to create a session. The guest can join with the session code. Important: GPS and direction guidance are approximate, especially indoors, in dense crowds, or at very close range.

Smart night light app designed for quality sleep and a cozy nighttime environment. Whether it's gentle care for a nursery or a moment of relaxation for adults before bed, Wonder Light makes every night just right. --- **Core Features** **White Noise** A curated collection of natural and environmental white noises, including ocean waves, rain, forest breeze, campfire, stream, fan, and more — all with clear, natural sound quality. Supports looping, playlist switching, and scheduled shutdown. Whether you need to block out city traffic, neighbor noise, or help your baby fall asleep, Wonder Light creates a quiet and soothing auditory environment. **Deep Sleep AI Lights-Out** Powered by an intelligent sleep sensing algorithm, the app learns your sleep rhythm. When it detects that you have entered light or deep sleep, the light will automatically dim at an extremely slow pace and eventually turn off completely at the right moment. The entire process is gentle and undisturbed, preventing sudden darkness from startling you awake and eliminating overnight brightness that interferes with melatonin production — helping you sleep deeper, more steadily, and more peacefully. **Color Wheel Palette** Freely slide across a full-spectrum color wheel with fine brightness adjustment from 0 to 100. Choose from tens of thousands of colors — from warm cozy yellow to calm cool blue, from soft pink to deep starry purple. Whether it's late-night reading, nighttime nursing, a romantic dinner, meditation, or creating a safe and warm glow for a child's room, there's always a color to match your mood and needs. **Multi-Scene Themes** Switch between carefully preset scene themes with one tap. Each theme links light color, brightness, and a recommended white noise, for example: - Reading Mode: Bright warm light with gentle page-turning ambiance - Bedtime Mode: Gradually dimming warm yellow light with soft rain sounds - Starry Night: Deep quiet blue light with distant wind and insect chirps - Wake-Up Mode: Simulated sunrise warm light, gradually brightening to wake you gently - Campfire Night: Warm orange flickering effect with crackling firewood sounds You can also customize and save your own scenes for easy recall anytime. **Child Lock** When activated, Child Lock disables touchscreen operation and settings to prevent little hands from accidentally changing lights, switching sounds, or exiting the app. Basic on/off control remains accessible, giving parents peace of mind to place their phone or iPad next to their child's bed. Child Lock is also useful for adults who want to avoid accidental touches during sleep. One tap to turn it on, one tap to turn it off — simple and practical. --- **More Highlights** - Supports background playback — white noise continues even when the screen is locked or other apps are in use - Scheduled shutdown option to avoid playing all night - Clean and intuitive interface — all functions accessible with one hand - Optimized for iPhone and iPad, perfect display in both portrait and landscape orientations --- **Use Cases** - Unwind before bed and relieve the day's fatigue - Nighttime nursery care and soothing babies to sleep - Protect your eyes while reading or working late - Meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises --- **Subscription Service** When you subscribe to the "VIP Subscription" service, you will enjoy the following benefits: 1. Unrestricted access to all features. 2. AI content recommendations based on usage habits. Payment for subscriptions is straightforward—the user's iTunes account is credited immediately after confirmation of purchase and payment.
