The App is the exclusive, all-in-one control companion for your smart wake-up light. Engineered around your natural circadian rhythm, it combines customizable lighting and audio to help you wake up gently free of morning grogginess, and fall asleep faster with a calming, consistent bedtime routine. No harsh alarms, no sleepless nights — just personalized light and sound, perfectly tailored to your lifestyle. Core Features 1. Full Lighting Control Take full command of your wake-up light right from your phone. Easily toggle the light on/off, switch seamlessly between 12 professionally designed lighting effects, and adjust brightness with ultra-smooth stepless control. Whether you need soft ambient glow, bright reading illumination, or a custom light for your space, you’ll find the perfect setting in seconds. 2. Complete Audio Management Effortlessly control all audio functions with a single tap. Toggle audio on/off, access a rich library of built-in white noise tracks, tune in to FM radio stations, and switch seamlessly between device Bluetooth audio and the light’s built-in sound sources. You can also skip between tracks and fine-tune volume levels to your exact preference, whether you’re setting a calming sleep soundtrack or an energizing morning alarm tone. 3. Customizable Personalized Scenes Create, save, and recall your ideal lighting and audio combinations with fully custom scenes. Mix and match your favorite lighting effects, brightness levels, audio tracks, and volume settings to build presets for any moment — from a morning wake-up routine, focused work session, cozy reading night, to a calming pre-sleep ritual. Save unlimited custom scenes and access them with one single tap, no repeated adjustments needed. 4. Fully Customizable Sunrise Wake-Up Alarms Ditch jarring, stressful alarms for a gentle, natural wake-up experience. Our sunrise alarm feature lets you fully customize every detail: set the gradual sunrise duration, choose your preferred lighting effect and brightness gradient, pair it with your favorite audio (white noise, radio, or your own music), and save multiple alarm presets for workdays, weekends, naps, and more. Wake up slowly to natural simulated sunlight, feeling refreshed and energized, not shocked awake. 5. Professional Sunset Sleep Aid Mode Wind down naturally with our science-backed sunset mode, designed to align with your body’s natural melatonin production. This professional feature simulates a gradual sunset, slowly dimming your light and shifting to warm, calming tones, paired with your choice of soothing white noise, gentle radio, or custom audio. Customize the full duration of your sunset routine, and build a consistent bedtime ritual that eases pre-sleep tension, helps you relax faster, and supports deeper, more restful sleep. We’re constantly working to enhance your sleep and daily routine with regular updates, new lighting effects, audio tracks, and features. If you have any questions or feedback, our support team is always here to help.
EchoNote Lecture

EchoNote Lecture turns every class recording into a study document you can actually use: synced audio, a live English transcript, and sentence-by-sentence Chinese translation, all processed on your device. THE PROBLEM Following a lecture in your second language means tracking spoken English, an unfamiliar accent, technical terms, slides, and your own notes, all at once. Miss one definition or number, and the rest gets harder to follow. A recording alone is hard to search. A transcript alone can't be checked against what was actually said. A translation alone can quietly introduce its own mistakes. EchoNote Lecture keeps the audio, the English text, and the Chinese translation together on one timeline, so you can always go back to what was really said. HOW IT WORKS RECORD Start in one tap with Quick Record, or name a lecture by title and course. EchoNote Lecture estimates how much recording time your storage allows, and always shows whether a recording is active, paused, or interrupted, so nothing is silently lost. TRANSCRIBE IN REAL TIME Spoken English becomes a time-stamped transcript as the lecture happens, using Apple's on-device speech recognition. Lower-confidence words are marked so you know what to double-check against the recording. TRANSLATE, SENTENCE BY SENTENCE Finalized English sentences are translated into Simplified Chinese as the lecture continues, or afterward if you prefer. This is careful sentence-by-sentence translation, not simultaneous interpreting, and every translation stays linked to its exact source sentence. Where Apple Intelligence is available, you can optionally polish the literal translation for more natural phrasing, and still compare it with the literal version. REVIEW LIKE A STUDY DOCUMENT Play back any lecture and watch the transcript follow along, with the current sentence and word highlighted in sync with the audio. Tap any English or Chinese sentence to jump straight to that moment. Switch freely between English, Bilingual, and 中文 reading views, and pick up right where you left off. BOOKMARK, ANNOTATE, AND CAPTURE SLIDES Tap once to bookmark a moment, or hold to add a quick note, like "ask the professor" or "exam topic." Attach a photo of a slide or the whiteboard, timestamped to exactly when it was shown. CORRECT WITHOUT LOSING THE ORIGINAL If the transcript misheard something, correct it. Your correction becomes the study text, while the original recognized English stays available for reference, and you can re-translate just that sentence. STAY ORGANIZED Group lectures by course with color coding, search across titles or full transcript text, and see recording length, translation status, and file size at a glance. EXPORT YOUR WORK Share any lecture as Markdown study notes, an SRT subtitle file, or the original audio recording. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Speech recognition and translation run on your device using Apple's frameworks. There's no account to create, no cloud upload, and no collaboration server; your lectures stay in the app. An internet connection is only needed to download Apple's language resources the first time. WHAT ECHONOTE LECTURE ISN'T It's not a live interpreter, a multi-speaker meeting tool, or a substitute for your instructor's official materials. Speech recognition and translation can make mistakes, especially with accents, jargon, and background noise, which is exactly why your original audio and recognized English are always kept, never overwritten. Please record responsibly and follow your school's and instructor's policies on lecture recording. Built for iPhone and iPad, with support for Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, Reduced Motion, and light and dark appearance.
