Caliu vs Hush

Caliu is a quiet place to write. Open it and start typing: no account, no setup, no clutter. Markdown takes shape as you type, everything works offline, and your notes stay on your device. When you want them everywhere, create a free account and they follow you across iPhone, iPad, Mac and the web. Sync is free, and it stays free. Writing comes first Headings, lists, tasks, quotes, code and links format as you write. There is no preview pane and no mode to switch: what you see is your note. The interface steps aside and leaves you with the page. Organised the way you think Tags instead of folders, because one idea can belong in many places. Nest them, colour them, and find any note in seconds. Link notes to each other and follow a thought from one to the next. Pin what matters now, and archive what you are done with without losing a word. There when you need it Native on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with a web app for everything else. Save things to Caliu straight from the share sheet, or add a thought from your Apple Watch. Yours, and only yours No ads. No tracking. Nothing you write is used to train AI. Your notes live on your device first and sync encrypted, and Caliu is built in the EU under GDPR. Export any note as Markdown or plain text whenever you like, share one as a public link when someone needs to read it, and delete your account at any time. Deleted means deleted.

Hush is a focus sounds app that lets you build layered soundscapes from real-time noise generators, brainwave entrainment, and 80+ ambient sound samples. MIX UP TO 6 SOUNDS AT ONCE Combine noise generators, binaural beats, and ambient recordings into a single layered mix. Each source has its own volume control so you can dial in exactly the right balance. NOISE GENERATORS White, pink, brown, and gray noise synthesized in real time — not loops, so every second sounds natural. BRAINWAVE ENTRAINMENT Binaural beats (Alpha, SMR, Beta, Gamma), isochronic tones, and monaural beats to support focus, relaxation, and deep work. Adjustable carrier frequency. 80+ AMBIENT SOUNDS Rain on a tent, cat purring, coffee shop chatter, vinyl crackle, crackling fire, underwater, train rides, and dozens more — organized across 12 categories. BUILT-IN & CUSTOM PRESETS Start with curated presets like Deep Work, Coffee Shop, Storm, or Cozy — or save your own. A Random Mix button generates fresh combinations when you want something new. FOCUS TIMER Set a countdown from 1 to 180 minutes. Sounds fade out gently in the final seconds, with an optional chime when time is up. WORKS IN THE BACKGROUND Control playback from your Lock Screen and Control Center. Your last session is automatically restored when you reopen the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. No ads. No tracking. No data collection.
