Remanso is your quiet harbor — a beautiful, calm space to relax, focus and understand how you feel. Most relaxation apps are just a wall of sounds. Remanso is different: it gets to know you. Check in with how you feel, and Remanso guides you to a session made for that moment — a mix of sound, breathing and time. THE EMOTIONAL LOOP • Check in with a tap: pick how you feel and how strongly. • Get a session tailored to that mood. • Check in again afterwards — and watch what actually helps you. • Personal insights reveal your patterns over time. • A gentle daily reminder, if you want one — never pushy. MIX YOUR OWN CALM • 25 soundscapes — rain, ocean, waterfall, thunder, morning birds, a crackling fire, a coffee shop, a night train, wind chimes, a Tibetan singing bowl and more. • Layer as many as you like and set each one's volume to build your perfect ambience. • Seamless, gapless loops designed to fade into the background. • Keeps playing with the screen locked, like a podcast. FOUR WAYS TO GUIDE YOURSELF • Breathing: 4-7-8 and box breathing, with a calming animation. • Focus: a Pomodoro-style timer over background sound. • Grounding: the 5-4-3-2-1 sensory exercise for when anxiety spikes. • Stillness: silent meditation, bookended by a single bell. BEAUTIFUL & PRIVATE • A warm, sunset-inspired design made for winding down. • Works offline; your check-ins stay on your device unless you choose to sync. REMANSO PLUS Unlock the full 25-sound library, unlimited mixing layers, saved mixes, unlimited check-ins, your full history and insights, and every guided session.

Is your shampoo hiding sulfates? Does "fragrance-free" really mean fragrance-free? SimplyScan reads the ingredient list for you and shows you, in seconds, what you're really putting on your skin and hair. HOW IT WORKS • Snap a photo of the ingredient list on any shampoo, soap, lotion or cosmetic with SimplyScan • The app analyses every ingredient and checks against published safety research. • Get a 0–100 safety score and a clear letter grade, A to F. WHAT THE APP CHECKS Parabens, sulfates, phthalates, formaldehyde releasers, undisclosed fragrance, chemical UV filters, PFAS and more. ONLY GOT THE FRONT OF THE PACK? If your photo shows the front instead of the ingredient list, SimplyScan can look the product up and show you its full ingredient list. KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS Search any ingredient to see what it is and whether it's a concern, and learn how to read a label. HONEST BY DESIGN A product with no readable ingredient list gets "not enough information" — never a good score. Blurry photo? SimplyScan asks you to rescan instead of guessing. Health concerns, irritants and preference notes are labelled differently, so a silicone preference never masquerades as a health risk. YOUR SCAN HISTORY Every product you check is saved with its photo, score and grade. SIMPLYSCAN PRO *Scanning features requires a paid subscription. Subscription information and terms can be found within the app.* Payment is charged to your Apple ID account.
