About

Tone Threshold

Features
Read full description

Tone Threshold is a contemplative app for standing at the edge of a question. It is not a meditation timer, journal, quote app, therapy tool, or productivity system. It is a quiet doorway: a place to meet one question at a time and let the answer fall silent. Free gives you a beautiful threshold question. Tone Plus opens the Living Threshold: returning questions, deeper crossings, personal chambers, and soundfields that remember where you have stood. With Tone Plus, saved questions can return later through Return Field. They do not come back as tasks, streaks, or archive items. They return as unfinished thresholds: something in them has not finished with you. Tone Threshold includes single-question crossings, saved marks, Return Field, Return Ritual, premium doors, Personal Chamber, and low grounded ritual soundfields. Tone Threshold is for contemplative inquiry. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, therapy, crisis support, or emergency services.
