I started in February and intended it to be just for myself. I also played around a lot with swift to understand what was possible.
It’s still early stages but it serves the purpose I was hoping for. If you give it a try and it’s lacking anything or you would like any features then please let me know !
If I built this in React Native I would have had you covered :(
I am not aware of any Android apps doing the exact same thing. There are ofcourse tons of meditation apps tho so there could be similar.
But I found music is mostly added to other apps hence the reason to build my own. Do you use a Mac? I am contemplating to build it for Mac as well
I built this free app to learn about creating Swift apps. As a software engineer, I wanted to deepen my knowledge in iOS development. Initially, I tried to build this app in React Native but couldn’t achieve the desired sound quality.
I have been meditating for 16 years and have utilized many different sounds. Some years ago, I came across Bob Monroe and the Hemi-sync tapes, which is ultimately the original inspiration to create this app. You can search the CIA archives and find some interesting investigations on Bob Monroe’s works and frequencies in general. I also used some Google patent research for inspiration.
Shimmr uses AudioKit to create sounds in real-time. This approach supports my long-term goal of adding more custom functionality for users. I have some ideas on creating dynamic tones that will in some way be more custom for each user. Using just MP3s or WAVs was never going to work.
This is the MVP I released recently. Please give it a try—it’s free! :)
Lots of new sounds and additions are already in the works.
Remind me of the old ask Jeeves search engine only smarter :)
I am not a fan of chat bots, of course they are smarter now and may save time but it takes away some of the joy of looking for what you need, perhaps its me enjoying some form of procrastinating but chat bots turn me off.
I am sure google will create special meta tags for sites to state their content is Ai generated and then perhaps utilising to improve ranking, ai generated content < "manual" content
It was randomly recommended by a friend while shopping. Pretty seridiptious
