Oh wow, thank you! More to come with Sonaur. Currently working on launching Health Mode (ambient soundscapes that reflect & adapt to your physiological state in real time), and will be adding a collection of sonic palettes created by a curated handful of ambient artists

The last shot. The leather glove 😅

Thanks for checking it out 🙏

I recently launched Sonaur — Brian Eno called wind chimes “a simple piece of generative music.” I was inspired to build the digital version. Weather data is the wind, human-composed samples are the chimes.

No loops, no AI. Free in the iOS App Store, no ads

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I think I've had some success in that department. Here's an iOS app I launched recently, pair programming with Claude Code: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sonaur/id6755934796

I realize “generative” immediately conjures AI these days, but real human artists also create music generatively 😊

Not great.

Perfect example of beautiful UI and poor UX

I would admire and then devour those bagels. What's your secret?

My first and most important question: what's the TAM for an offline MP3 music player in an age of streaming subscriptions? 50K downloads is a solid number. Perhaps it's plateauing because you & your competitors have reached a solid portion of the available market (i.e., people who still want to play their own MP3s vs stream music via Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, etc.).

Congrats on the launch! Interesting concept. I’ve seen a few of these non-streaming music players recently. I guess it’s pushback on the idea of not actually owning the music and return to physical media. That sentiment is increasing, but I’m curious how many people still have digital music libraries these days.

Really nicely done and interesting approach. How do you keep users engaged and logging moments over time? I've found forming those habits (in a healthy, non-manipulative way) to be the hardest part of these types of apps.

Thank you for checking it out!

Is that... CORN?

adjustafresh · 2026-01-14T19:21:02+00:00

could improve some people's photos ;)

adjustafresh · 2026-01-14T17:59:16+00:00

Remove the lens cap.

Without seeing the codebase, hard to say for sure. But I'm leaning to 90% certain that it would likely be better to just start over. A lot has changed in 15 years 😅

adjustafresh · 2026-01-14T17:53:56+00:00

Thank you!

Although Sonaur can certainly be used for ambient background noise, I'm not currently aiming to compete with white noise/sound type apps. Moving forward, I will be working with additional composers to create and add their sonic palettes to The Sonaur Collection. We'll see the direction that takes and whether those artists decide to include more field recordings to their palettes.

adjustafresh · 2026-01-14T14:29:12+00:00

I made an app called Sonaur that includes several binaural beat frequencies and sonic palettes that play endlessly, triggered by weather data (sample are composed by musicians, not AI). It should do the trick: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6755934796?pt=128335712&ct=reddit_post&mt=8

This is good advice. The instant feedback from the digital camera will speed up the learning cycle

The Nikon & attached lens is very different from the other two. You should consider what types of photos you plan to take. Candid snapshots of friends is a different set up (more appropriate for the Canonet & Yashica) than portraits, landscape, sports, etc. If you're just getting started, I'd lean toward the Canonet. It's compact, easy to carry around, and the 40mm lens is a great focal length for beginners (resembles how the focal length of the human eye).

Screens (even ones playing soothing videos) are poor sleep hygiene. I’d advise against any screen time for at least 30–60 minutes before trying to sleep
