Hush vs Idea Tiles

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.

Turn one thought into a visual map of everything around it. Idea Tiles is a hexagonal brainstorming canvas for writers, designers, product thinkers, researchers, and anyone who works better with connected fragments than a blank page. Start with one tile, explore the ideas around it, and keep following the branches that matter. EXPLORE THE SPACE AROUND AN IDEA • Expand a tile into six related directions with Apple Intelligence on supported devices. • Merge two tiles into one thought that captures what they share. • Star important themes and filter a busy board down to what matters. • Undo, redo, pan, and zoom without breaking your flow. PRIVATE BY DESIGN On supported iPhone and iPad models, generation runs through Apple's on-device Foundation Models. Prompts, board context, and responses stay on your device. There is no silent cloud fallback, no account requirement, no advertising profile, and no analytics SDK in the native app. MAKE THE BOARD PORTABLE Export your work as PNG, JPG, SVG, or JSON through the standard share sheet. Send it with AirDrop or Messages, save it to Files, or keep the structured JSON for later editing. RETURN TO YOUR WORK Boards are saved locally across sessions. Template customization also uses the on-device model, and model readiness is checked again when the app returns to the foreground. ACCESSIBLE AND RESPONSIVE Idea Tiles includes VoiceOver labels, adjustable text, high-contrast options, reduced-motion support, keyboard shortcuts, and touch interactions designed for both iPhone and iPad. REQUIREMENTS • Generation requires iOS 26 or later, Apple Intelligence enabled, and eligible hardware. • Canvas editing, merge, star, filter, local sessions, and export remain available without generation. • When the system model is unavailable or still preparing, Idea Tiles explains why and checks again automatically. Idea Tiles is free, with no subscription and no in-app purchases.
