Very cool project. I made something similar for Android last week: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playwithvo... If anyone uses this on a touchscreen device, I'm curious what you think about the slider that Noisli uses for volume control. Do you prefer the slider, or would you prefer to tap on the icon to toggle pre-defined volume states (off, 33%, 66%, 100%)?

I just tried this out. I love the simplicity of the homescreen and the simple volume toggle is great. 2 things: 1. The coffee shop has the Joe Walsh song The Joker in the background. It's a ridiculously catchy song and I found it very distracting. 2. I couldn't figure out how to turn this off. It went haywire and I ended up with lots of white noise. I had to turn off my bluetooth speaker, and going to applications to…

Thanks for the feedback.

The coffeeshop noise is my favorite and I've definitely noticed the song, as well. I plan on replacing it with a similar audio track this week.

I listen to this whilst surfing the web: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZLlumRLsbQ Also handy: https://coffitivity.com/ http://www.getworkdonemusic.com/ This is a personal favorite too - Star Trek TNG Ambient Engine Noise (Idling for 24 hrs): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPoqNeR3_UA Personally, whilst coding, I enjoy absolute terrifying silence.

Can't remember where I found it, but someone once shared this command to fake the Star Trek engine noise:

play -c2 -n synth whitenoise band -n 100 24 band -n 300 100 gain +20 flanger

I've noticed on the propeller and nighttime sounds that there's a gap in their playback as the loop starts again that's honestly quite jarring. Especially when the propeller is the primary background sound. Even the fire has a noticeable pause.

Thanks for the feedback!

This is great. Why do you need an 8 character password? Are you planning on adding some kind of a payment feature later? For things I don't care, I just use a simple password.

Thanks for the support ;)

Sign up with google permissions: >"Upload, download, update, and delete files in your Google Drive. Create, access, update, and delete native Google documents in your Google Drive. Manage files and documents in your Google Drive (e.g., search, organize, and modify permissions and other metadata, such as title)" Hell. Fucking. No.

I'd guess that these permissions actually only pertain to files that the app itself creates.

Is that how permissions work? I was under the impression if you gave the app permissions to read write and delete files in your storage, it could (in theory) read/write/delete anything it wanted?

This is great! Being able to save my favorite combos and set an "off" timer is nice, now would it be possible to set a timer to automatically switch to another (random or specific) combo? I'd light to define day/night cycles or sun/rain cycles :)

Also, once you saved a combo, how do you edit it? It seems there is no way to get back to the home page once a fav combo is started.
