Description
A Stunning New Productivity App For Today’s Distraction-Filled World.
What is Portal?
Portal is a productivity app that uses immersive technologies to transform your surroundings into a haven for focus and creativity.
So, it’s just another productivity app, right?
Well, not exactly. It’s a totally new approach to productivity that’s shaped by the latest research in the field of environmental psychology which focuses on the impact our surroundings have on our state of mind, wellbeing and cognitive performance.
Why are our surroundings so important to our productivity?
It’s no secret that our surroundings have a huge impact on how we think and feel - it’s something architects and urban planners have understood for centuries. The surroundings in which we work are no different. Whether we’re working in an office, from home or in a coffee shop our surroundings can either support or hinder our productivity. When they work against us they make focus and productivity an uphill struggle, leading to longer hours, stress and low morale. However, when we are in surroundings that are attuned to helping us think and focus clearly the effect is profound.
How does Portal work?
Portal uses the latest immersive technologies, including dynamic (head tracked) spatial audio, smart lighting & retina-quality visuals, to transform your surroundings and provide instant escapes to some of the world’s most peaceful and awe-inspiring locations.
Imagine finding your focus in the midst of a thunderstorm deep in the Amazon Rainforest; making your next big breakthrough high in the Himalayas; or getting lost in flow in the remote Highlands of Scotland.
It’s a beautiful and effortless approach to productivity, but also one that’s incredibly effective and backed by a growing mountain of scientific evidence and research.
Who is Portal for?
Ideal for entrepreneurs, digital & creative professionals, students, but really anyone who finds being productive and creative a struggle in today’s distraction-filled world.
Join us on a journey to better surroundings, and experience a productivity app like no other.

Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
How can an app about sound look this gorgeous? Portal is part immersive audio experience and part travel companion, a way to lose yourself in lush audio environments from all corners of the globe, all through a cool minimalist UI and stunning HD visuals. Focus, study, or snooze to downpours in the Amazon, lapping waves from the lochs of Scotland, whale song from the deep blue waters of Tahiti, or thunder on the Great Plains. Tap a sound and the app transforms into an aesthetically pleasing clock; set a timer to drift off to sleep to winds on the Isle of Skye or wake to a springtime chorus in London. Bonus: Pair compatible AirPods to experience it all in spatial audio.
Excellent
First time Im posting a comment in the app store, bc this app deserves it. I really liked it. Free portal numbers is a bit low tho.

deneme için direkt para istiyor
arayüzü güzel, philips hue ile bağlantılı çalışabiliyormuş. para vermeye açık olanlar deneyebilir aylık 18₺, yıllık 210₺, lifetime 5K₺ ücretlendirmesi var. Denememiz için hiçbir sahneyi açmamışlar deneyemedim. Youtubedaki ortam videoları yeterli geliyor ama fikir olarak iyi.
Developer Response ,
👋 Merhaba santutururur,
Üzgünüz, ücretsiz bir teklifimiz yok, kesinlikle sunmak isteriz ancak maalesef bunu şu anda Mac uygulamamızda yapamıyoruz (iPhone ve iPad uygulamalarımızda ücretsiz bir katman sunuyoruz). Bunun yerine, 7 günlük ücretsiz deneme süremiz olduğunu ve ücretli Premium Üyeliğe devam etmek zorunda olmadığımızı lütfen unutmayın.
Deneme süresinin bitiminden en az 24 saat önce denemeyi iptal edin ve ücretli Üyeliğe dönüşmeyecektir. Hatta denemeyi başlattıktan hemen sonra iptal edebilir ve 7 günlük deneme süresinin tamamı boyunca tam erişimin keyfini çıkarmaya devam edebilirsiniz - Bunu yapmanızı şiddetle tavsiye ederim. Lütfen App Store'daki denemelerin tam olarak bu şekilde çalıştığını unutmayın.
Mac uygulamamızda neden ücretsiz bir katmanımız olmadığını merak ediyor olabilirsiniz ve bu konuda tamamen şeffaf olmak istiyoruz. Bunun nedeni kesinlikle insanları ücretsiz bir denemeye zorlamak değil - bu biz değiliz - bu nedenle iPhone/iPad uygulamamızda zaman sınırı veya kısıtlı işlevsellik olmayan ücretsiz bir katman sunuyoruz.
Mac uygulamamızın zorluğu, yalnızca çok kanallı uzamsal sesi değil, aynı zamanda daha büyük ve daha yüksek çözünürlüklü Mac ekranlarında daha sürükleyici, gerçeğe yakın çok duyusal bir deneyim sağlamak için 8K'ya kadar sinematik hareketli görseller sunabilmemizdir.
Sonuç olarak, görsel-işitsel dosyalar çok büyük olduğundan, iOS/ıpados uygulamalarımızda içerik teslimi için benimsediğimiz indirme yolu Mac'te mümkün değildi. Bu nedenle, akışı desteklemek için Mac uygulamamızda içerik sunma yaklaşımımızı tamamen yeniden tasarlamak zorunda kaldık; Bu, özellikle tamamen ücretsiz bir teklif sunmuşsak, sunucu maliyetlerimizin çok hızlı artabileceği anlamına gelir.
Bağlam yoluyla, iOS ve iPadOS uygulamalarımızda Portal'ı aktif olarak ücretsiz kullanan yüzbinlerce insan var. Bu nedenle, bir Mac'te ücretsiz katmanı kullanan bu sayıda insandan çok azına sahip olsak bile, tek başına sunucu maliyetleri bizi makul bir şekilde işsiz bırakabilir. Biz küçük, bağımsız bir şirketiz ve bu nedenle, maliyetlerin geliri hızlı bir şekilde aşması durumunda bize bir yastık sağlayacak harici yatırım parasına sahip değiliz ve YouTube gibi bu maliyetleri karşılayabilecek devler değiliz, bu nedenle dikkatli olmalıyız. Bunun için çok üzgünüm ve bunun neden olabileceği herhangi bir hayal kırıklığı.
Ancak bu, Mac'te ücretsiz bir katman sunmanın sonsuza kadar masadan kalktığı anlamına gelmez. Bunu sürdürülebilir bir olasılık haline getirecek seçeneklere bakmaya çok hevesliyiz, ancak şimdilik bunu yapacak durumda değiliz.
Bu arada, daha önce de belirtildiği gibi, denemenizi çok istediğimiz 7 günlük ücretsiz bir deneme sürümümüz var. Büyük ölçüde önyargılı olduğumu biliyorum, ancak günümüzün meşgul ve dikkat dağıtıcı şeylerle dolu dünyasında odaklanmak ve net bir şekilde düşünmek istiyorsanız bu gerçekten inanılmaz bir deneyim. Dürüst olmak gerekirse, Portal Mac kullanmadan iyi çalışamam.
Başka sorunuz varsa veya yardımcı olabileceğim başka bir şey varsa, lütfen bana hello@portal.app adresinden bir satır bırakmaktan çekinmeyin.
Çok teşekkürler, Stu.
Biraz zor anladıysak kusura bakılıyor, Türkçemiz iyi değil - bu yüzden Google Çeviri bize yardımcı oluyor.
