ColorNoise 4+

Took a few tries to get it to boot in Ventura, but it finally did! Note to others, it goes in the menu bar. I've only had one or two distracting pops in the static, but otherwise, the brown noise is a great "Brain Hug".

Thank you for your positive review. I am glad that ColorNoise works for you. I like your "Brain Hug" description of noise. I want to kindly ask you to send me an email with more information about initial problem with app boot. Please contact me at hafner.developer@gmail.com

Thank you

Brown noise is the magic secret for focus or even getting good sleep. I usually see white noise offered in sound generators, so I was delighted to see that this app offers brown noise and it sounds great! I suppose my only complaints are that the noise stops when I open the app's Settings screen and I'm bummed to see that the colored menu bar icon was removed rather than an option provided in Settings to pick whether I want the colored, white, or maybe even an outline version of the icon. Could also be neat to have some equalizer settings to make the brown noise even browner. By that I mean a sound with even more rich bass tones. Anyways, thanks for the nice app!

Thank you very much for your positive and detailed feedback! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the brown noise; it truly can be a game-changer for focus and sleep. I’ve removed the colored menu bar icon because it wasn't working correctly in the new macOS. I’ll make sure the noise continues playing when you open the Settings screen.

Equalizer is very good idea! I was thinking about the equalizer too, and there have been other requests for it as well, so I’ll definitely be adding that feature to enhance the brown noise with richer bass tones. Stay tuned for the update, and thanks again for using the app!

I'm puzzled by the negative reviews and by how aggressive they are: if you don't know how to get a refund from Apple when you're not happy with a purchase you are a fool. Just Google it! It’s a simple app—and I’m perfectly happy because of that. White, pink, brown noise on the menubar: I turned them on with a click and, yeah, it’s pleasant. I do have other similar applications, but this is the only one I use on my Mac: I’m tired of tinkering, of frogs and crickets, and waves, and thunderstorms and Tibetan chimes. Those sounds are just too distracting and/or stressful when you work. This is a case of less is more. Also: aesthetically speaking, the app is quite beautiful.

Thank you very much for your review! It’s really valuable to hear that ease of use is key for this kind of app. Therefore, I will try to keep the app as simple as possible. I’m really glad to hear your kind words about the app. These keep me motivated for future development. Thank you!
