Imajourn

Read full description

Imajourn turns sound into shape. Touch the water and every ripple sings. Hum a note and the pattern blooms. Draw any shape, type your name or choose a photo, and hear where it rings. Every sound has a shape, and you can keep it. PLAY • Water: touch for ripples and notes, drag to strum the scale, two fingers for interference. • Hum: your voice drives the water; hold a note steady and the figure locks in. • Tones: sweep a pitch strip through the notes; the ones where your shape resonates glow. • Listen: music and claps in the room become drops. • Plate: sand leaps from the moving parts of a ringing plate and settles on the still lines, the figures Ernst Chladni drew in 1787. • Room: sound in three dimensions. Light gathers on the still surfaces of a ringing sphere, cube or cylinder, or watch live waves travel from a clap, reflect off the walls and build standing waves, even inside a 3D model you import, shaded so you can see in (Pro). MAKE • Your shape: draw one in a single stroke, type a word, pick a photo or import an SVG (Pro: words, photos and files). • Set any shape inside a circle or polygon: its outline becomes a wall, with water inside and around it. • Draw walls, lenses and sponges into the water: double slits, lenses that focus, soft edges. • Tone sources, symmetry, wave speed and linger, 13 palettes, four voices, eleven scales and a reverb from dry to cathedral. KEEP AND SHARE • Capture stills, or hold the shutter for a clip with sound, in Water, Plate and Room: vertical for Stories and Reels, or the shape of your screen. Save to Photos or share. • Keep the moment: turn it on and Imajourn always holds the last 30 seconds, so you can save something beautiful after it happened. Only Imajourn's own sound is kept, never your microphone. • Keep scenes in your Library and share them as links anyone can open. CALM AND CURIOUS • Discoveries: find reflection, reverberation, interference, beats, resonance, the double slit and more, each with a one-line explanation. • Today's Resonance: a daily puzzle. Match the figure by choosing the plate and the note. • Drift: the scene plays itself, fades out and goes dark when the timer ends (15 minutes free). • On your TV: AirPlay to an Apple TV or AirPlay TV and the water fills the big screen, while your iPhone stays the instrument. • Sensory mode: softer light and calmer palettes. FOR EVERYONE • Feel the waves: on iPhone, haptics follow the water under your finger, so patterns can be explored by touch. • Full VoiceOver support, with a Describe action that speaks the scene and plays its notes. • Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion and Reduce Transparency respected. • In ten languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Hindi. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Imajourn listens only while the microphone is on. Audio is analysed on your device and is never recorded or sent anywhere. No account, no ads, no tracking. IMAJOURN PRO, ONE PURCHASE, YOURS TO KEEP • Every shape and plate, plus your words, photos and SVG files as shapes • All voices and scales • Energy and Caustics views and every palette • Room: 3D Chladni figures, and live waves in a sphere, cube, cylinder or your own 3D model • Clips up to 3 minutes at full resolution without the mark, 2× stills, unlimited Library and Drift Pro is a single in-app purchase with no subscription. If you bought it before, it's already yours.
