dpli creates real-time, evolving spatial soundscapes for ADHD focus and deep work — generated live on your device, never played from a loop. Unlike standard noise apps that replay prerecorded tracks, dpli synthesizes every layer in real time. Sound sources can move through space, shift in intensity, and modulate independently, creating an immersive background that stays dynamic throughout your session. BUILT FOR FOCUS Choose a preset based on what you need: • SHIELD — A steady spatial soundscape designed to mask conversations, office noise, and sudden distractions. • FLOW — Moving, asymmetric layers that create an engaging background for writing, coding, studying, and deep work. • CLARITY — Steady, precisely layered noise that masks distractions and creates a clear background for writing, coding, studying, and deep work. • IGNITION — Designed for ADHD brains or anyone needing a strong push into active focus. An energizing white-noise field with dual-rhythm pulses and airy blue-noise sparkle that drives alertness and mental speed. • RELAX — A heavy brown-noise blanket with two pink streams drifting slowly around your head — eases you into deep physical relaxation while staying awake. Good for winding down, tension release, or a mid-day relax. • RESET — A still, dark cocoon with a slow warm breath that gently sways around you — shifts the mind from stress into rest. Best for 10–20 minute breaks when you feel wound up or anxious. SESSIONS — YOUR RHYTHM OF WORK AND REST Build your own sound sequence on iPhone or Mac. Choose a sound and duration for each stage — FLOW for focused work, then RELAX for a break, for example. dpli blends smoothly between stages and gently fades out at the end. Start with one stage using a free sound. Premium unlocks additional stages and the full preset collection. MORE THAN COLORED NOISE Brown, pink and white noise generators are included for free. They are also the building blocks behind dpli’s layered presets, where position, movement, modulation, and frequency balance work together to create a richer listening environment. GENERATED, NOT STREAMED • No prerecorded audio files • No repeating MP3 loops • Real-time synthesis on your device • Spatial movement and independent modulation • Works offline with no account required PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your sessions stay on your device. dpli does not stream audio, require an account, or collect listening data. MADE FOR THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM Use dpli on iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch. Start a session wherever you work, study, travel, or need a more controlled acoustic environment. dpli is a focus and sound-masking tool. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure ADHD or any other medical condition. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Every plan runs into the same question: who does it, who answers for it, who is asked and who is told. RACI Master keeps all four answers on every task. Most task managers give a task one owner. Real work has four roles — Responsible, Accountable, Consulted and Informed. RACI Master shows them right on each task, so you see the shape of the work without opening it. THREE VIEWS OF THE SAME WORK • Tasks — grouped by when they are due, with each task's roles right in the row. Tiles at the top count what is overdue, due this week, blocked or without an accountable person; tap one to see exactly those tasks. • Matrix — tasks down, people across, a role in every cell. Tap a cell to assign. One Accountable per task and one role per person are kept for you as you go. • Timeline — bars on a calendar by weeks, months, quarters or years, opening on today. PROJECTS AND PEOPLE • Nest projects as deep as you need. Each shows its progress, what is overdue and who is on it, and opens as a list, a matrix or a timeline already narrowed to it. • People are a private directory of names. Each person's card shows their open work, role by role. YOURS, NOT A SERVICE • No account, no invitations, no permissions. People in your directory get no access to anything. • Tasks and people follow you across your own iPhone, iPad and Mac through your private iCloud database. • Export the list, the matrix or the timeline as PNG or PDF and share it with anyone. • Back up everything to a single readable JSON file and import it back. MADE TO BE USED EVERY DAY • A warm paper-and-ink look, in light and dark. • Built for iPhone, iPad and Mac, with keyboard shortcuts on Mac and iPad. • In English, German, French, Ukrainian, Spanish, Japanese and Portuguese.
