Hey all! Just wanted to say that I’ve updated the app to version 1.2.0. I added support for turning off the sound after some time, fixed the bugs y’all reported and updated the sleep tab UI to be more intuitive. The app is also now available in all countries and there is now a week long free trial for the monthly subscription. I appreciate all of the great feedback and thank you to all of you who signed up and tried Timbre out!!

It currently only supports Apple Watch, but I'll release an update soon so it can support Apple Health compatible devices. The only requirement is that those devices can export sleep stage data and other metrics to Apple Health, thanks for the feedback!

I limited to US & Canada only because the text in the app is only in English. I have to setup localization in order to get it properly translated for countries where English is not a primary language. I do plan to add support this in the future, but can't give an exact estimate right now.

Not at the moment, will look into adding that alongside the "stop sound after xyz minutes" feature mentioned elsewhere.

To note, if you go to Clock on your iPhone you can set a timer to go off after a set amount of time with "Stop Playing" which should turn off any audio that's playing after that time is up.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll definitely fix that for the next version.

My uncle actually did the art for me. I believe he used some hand drawn digital tools, but I'd have to ask him again. I knew I really wanted to have a grayscale background with a single color to highlight an object in each image and I'd say he delivered on that really well.

I launched initially in US & Canada, was planning to rollout to other countries after.

Thanks! Yeah I tried to put together a quick screen recording, so apologies about the lack of VoiceOver or feature walkthrough. If you go to https://www.timbreapp.io/ there should be more details there :)

What country? Planning to launch in UK and Australia soon

Mainly because I'm an iOS developer, and so it was just easiest to start there.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll consider bumping it up to a week, there's also a 2 week option with the annual option if you'd rather do that!

Good to know, will definitely look to add this in the next update!

Currently all of the sounds are actually online, with the option to add downloads. I could change that to be entirely local, but would make it a bit harder to add new sounds without requiring an update of the app. I've debated adding in a "lifetime" option so that it's only a one-time payment for everything, and may do that, thanks for the feedback!

That's one of the features I still have to add. I assume you mean like "after 45 minutes stop playing" or something like that, correct?
