SomaEcho vs Ding

SomaEcho is a sound-based emotional wellness tool. When you feel tense, uneasy, or unable to sleep, choose how your body feels right now. SomaEcho will play the most suitable binaural beat frequency to help bring your mind and body back to calm. You don't need to know the name of your condition — just describe what your body is feeling. 【Frequencies】 ◆ Alpha (8–13 Hz): Helps ease tension and unease ◆ Beta (13–30 Hz): Boosts energy and positive drive ◆ Theta (4–8 Hz): Deep relaxation, reduces pre-sleep anxiety ◆ Delta (0.5–4 Hz): Deepens sleep, supports brain recovery ◆ SMR (12–15 Hz): Relieves mental overload, lets body and mind unwind ◆ Gamma (30–100 Hz): Supports alertness and focused clarity Gradual transition mode lets different frequencies blend naturally for a smoother listening experience. 【How to Use】 Use stereo headphones (in-ear or over-ear). Binaural audio requires each ear to receive a different frequency — mono or speaker playback will not produce the same effect. Use in a quiet, safe environment. 【Important】 If you have epilepsy, photosensitive seizures, auditory hypersensitivity, or related neurological conditions, consult your doctor before use. Stop immediately and remove your headphones if you feel discomfort. SomaEcho is an emotional wellness tool. It has no medical efficacy and cannot replace professional psychiatric or neurological care. Available in: 繁中・簡中・English・Français・Italiano・Español・日本語・한국어・Русский

A timer that stays a timer. Free, no paywalls. Two taps to the sit — open a preset and start the timer. The timer needs no account and no internet, and nothing pops up before or after the sit. Less app, more practice. You sit on the cushion by yourself — but you're not alone. If you want company, connect Discord, and the “Together” feed will show which of the people you know sat today. New to Discord? Come to our open Ding community. Visibility is up to you, and you can turn it off at any time. What's inside: — Accurate timing: the timer holds even if you background the app or lock the screen. If the system closes the app, the app will notify you instead. — Apple Watch: the timer on your wrist, works even without the phone. Same presets, vibration instead of bells, sessions count toward your practice and streak. — Presets: each practice keeps its own name, duration, start and end bell, interval bells, and a short note to yourself. — Background sound: breathing (5.5-second inhale and exhale), noise, or shruti — chosen per preset, it ducks under the bells, with an optional fade-out. — A pause before you begin: time to settle on the cushion. — Preset sharing: send a link — they open it and add it to their presets. — Coming from Insight Timer? Your practice imports along with your streak. — Your practice is saved locally on your phone, to Health (mindful minutes) and to Calendar. — Widgets: the streak on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen, a tap opens the app. — Presets and practice history sync through iCloud. — Four color themes: the background is always black, the color is up to you. — Protection from accidental touches: a cat or a sleeve won't end your sit. — Screen dimming: the screen dims a little during a session to save battery. — Interrupted sessions are restored.
