About

OSCION

Features
Read full description

Oscion is an intuitive, interactive real-time generator for binaural beats and pure tones. Two ways to listen: Binaural beats (headphones recommended) Binaural beats are an auditory effect that can occur when each ear hears a steady tone that is slightly different in pitch. Your brain may perceive a subtle beat at the difference between those tones. Because each ear needs its own tone, headphones are recommended. Pure tones (headphones or speakers) Set the beat frequency to 0 Hz to produce a single steady tone. This does not rely on a left/right difference, so it works through speakers or headphones. Clean, precise control: Oscion is designed for direct experimentation. • Adjust beat frequency and base frequency in real time. • Set a session length with the built-in timer so you don’t need to watch the clock. • Use the Transition feature to glide smoothly from your current tone to a different tone over a chosen duration. • Listen to Oscion on its own or while other audio is playing. Presets: Oscion includes binaural beat and solfeggio frequency presets along with the ability to create and save your own custom presets. No internet connection required: Oscion does not require an account and does not stream audio from a server. Everything runs locally directly from your device.

Pactners is the accountability app for couples, friends, and everyone else who want to stick to their goals. Create a pact with one partner and keep each other accountable, helping each other reach shared goals. How It Works: 1. Create a pact with your chosen partner. 2. Set a shared weekly goal (study, work out, eat healthy, go on a walk). 3. Decide how many times you and your partner meet that goal for the week. 4. Set real consequences and rewards if you succeed but your partner has an off week (plan a date night, cook us dinner, buy me a coffee). 5. Log proof by taking a photo and reach your weekly goal together! What You Get: • Real-Time Updates: See your partner's progress the second they log. No delays, no waiting. • Photo Proof: Snap a photo when you complete your goal. Simple, visual proof with no complicated tracking. • Instant Notifications: Get a push notification the moment your partner logs, keeping the momentum going. • History Tracking: Look back at previous weeks to see if you both hit your goals together and track your journey over time. • Nudges: Send your partner a reminder when motivation dips with a simple tap that lets them know "We're in this together". • Streak Tracking: Watch your consecutive weeks of hitting goals together. The more weeks you both succeed, the stronger your streak.
