About

Audio Aura

Read full description

The artist pauses. The crowd goes quiet. Then the call comes. Raise your lights. Everyone reaches for their phone. Yours is different. The moment sound hits the microphone, your torch comes alive. It pulses with the drop, softens in the silence, breathes with everything in between. Your screen fills with visuals that move with the room. Not looping, not preset. Alive. Take it somewhere else. A campfire where the flame on your screen flickers with every crackle of wood. A house party where the disco ball scatters light to the bass. A speech where the waveform maps every word. AudioAura finds its place wherever sound fills the air. No account to create. No music library to access. Nothing stored, nothing sent. Just you, your microphone, and the room. PulseLord is for those who want more. More visuals, a unique icon, and the feeling of having the complete version.

About

LumiWave

Features
Read full description

LumiWave is a music player that lets you see your music, no matter where it comes from. β–  One playlist across every source Files on iCloud Drive, Google Drive and other cloud services, local audio on your iPhone, and Apple Music (including tracks in your library imported from CDs) β€” LumiWave brings them together into a single playlist built around your mood, not around where each track came from. β–  Visualizers that react to sound The playback screen is more than artwork and a play button. Five visualizers move in real time with your music: - CG: reactive particles and waveforms - Bottle: liquid fills as playback progresses - Creature: little creatures gather when you tap - Slide: your chosen photos or playlist artwork slowly pan and zoom - Aquarium: a school of fish swims to the music and gathers when you tap to drop food Pinch out for full-screen mode: nothing but the visualizer and minimal controls, so you can sink into the music. For late-night listening, focus sessions, or just changing the mood of a room. β–  Honest about audio The more striking the visuals, the more the sound has to be trustworthy. LumiWave treats the audio path with care. - Supports WAV, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC, AAC and MP3 (up to 192kHz / 24-bit) - Plays imported files at their original quality - Lossless and Hi-Res tracks are clearly badged, with format, sample rate and bit depth shown - Playback comes first: under load, rendering quality drops automatically to protect the sound β–  Privacy No account, no servers. Imported audio, playlists, photos and settings stay on your device, and audio analysis runs locally. Nothing is collected. β–  Visualizer Pro (one-time purchase) All playback features, the CG and Slide visualizers, playlists and quality display are free. A one-time Pro purchase β€” not a subscription β€” unlocks the Bottle, Creature and Aquarium visualizers and any Pro features added later. You can preview the Pro visualizers for free before buying. Music, set free.
