Portal - nature sounds for productivity and relaxation
Web Services Ios / / January 06, 2021
Portal, a white noise program with an unusual design, was released on iOS. Each sound is complemented by a beautiful animation - a "portal". Visually looks amazing. There are three modes: Focus (productivity), Sleep (sleep) and Escape (relaxation / distraction). They differ not in sounds, but in additional functions:
- Focus - adds a timer for tracking productivity (turn on and completely immerse yourself in the task for this time).
- Sleep - alarm mode. At a given time, it will wake you up with pleasant sounds of nature - either a random portal or your chosen one.
- Escape - meditative breathing technique (paid version only).
The program works when the phone is locked and on top of other applications (if you enable the corresponding function in the settings). In productivity mode, you can select a task and set a timer - ideal for machinery Pomodoro. He notifies of the end of time not with a loud electronic squeak, but with an unusual soft sound, reminiscent of the Aztecs and ancient rituals.
Other cool features include syncing with Philips Hue ambient light bulbs. The lighting in the room is adjusted to the plot of the portal (for example, tropical rain or fire in the fireplace). It can also be used as an alarm clock: the combination of Portal and smart light will gently wake you up to the pleasant sounds of nature.
Initially, 5 sounds are available. Another 14 portals can be unblocked for 299 rubles - this is a one-time payment, no subscriptions are required. The paid version also adds a breathing technique in Escape mode. If you are satisfied with the limited selection and you are not interested in meditation, you will not have to pay: there are no ads in the application at all.
