Hey all! Just wanted to say that I’ve updated the app to version 1.2.0. I added support for turning off the sound after some time, fixed the bugs y’all reported and updated the sleep tab UI to be more intuitive. The app is also now availabl

It currently only supports Apple Watch, but I'll release an update soon so it can support Apple Health compatible devices. The only requirement is that those devices can export sleep stage data and other metrics to Apple Health, thanks

Yeah, I'm using the Swift Charts framework

Yeah, my mistake, posted up above that it's now available in all countries!

Should be available in all countries now, thank you for the feedback!

Updated, should be available now :)

Just updated the app to be available in all countries. Thanks to everyone for the feedback on this!

Fair enough, will make it available in all countries, thanks for the feedback!

I limited to US & Canada only because the text in the app is only in English. I have to setup localization in order to get it properly translated for countries where English is not a primary language. I do plan to add support this in th

Not at the moment, will look into adding that alongside the "stop sound after xyz minutes" feature mentioned elsewhere. To note, if you go to Clock on your iPhone you can set a timer to go off after a set amount of time with &quot

Thanks for the feedback, I'll definitely fix that for the next version. My uncle actually did the art for me. I believe he used some hand drawn digital tools, but I'd have to ask him again. I knew I really wanted to have a graysca

I launched initially in US & Canada, was planning to rollout to other countries after.

Thanks! Yeah I tried to put together a quick screen recording, so apologies about the lack of VoiceOver or feature walkthrough. If you go to https://www.timbreapp.io/ there should be more details there :)

What country? Planning to launch in UK and Australia soon

by bryan-vh 3y ago
Mainly because I'm an iOS developer, and so it was just easiest to start there.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll consider bumping it up to a week, there's also a 2 week option with the annual option if you'd rather do that!

Good to know, will definitely look to add this in the next update!

Currently all of the sounds are actually online, with the option to add downloads. I could change that to be entirely local, but would make it a bit harder to add new sounds without requiring an update of the app. I've debated adding i

by bryan-vh 3y ago
That's one of the features I still have to add. I assume you mean like "after 45 minutes stop playing" or something like that, correct?

Good idea! I did make it so that if you switch between the available sounds throughout a sleep session (if you woke up to do that) it would take that into account when determining the sound rankings.

by bryan-vh 3y ago
I personally sleep better with sounds, so that's why I created the app. If you sleep better without sounds that's great! I understand the app may not be for everyone, just wanted to share it with those who may find it interesting.

The iPhone requests permission to HealthKit, which comes through the Apple Health app. You will need an Apple Watch to record the sleep stage data during a sleep session, which the ML model then uses to calculate a sleep quality score from

Should have it out in Australia within a week or so!

by bryan-vh 3y ago
Yes, the Apple Watch is what provides the sleep stage data. If you only have an iPhone there's no in-depth sleep stage data which is what the model uses to predict a sleep quality score. The disclaimer didn't show in the video sin

Sorry, working to get it available in other regions, will probably release to the UK and Australia in the next week or so!

Hey all, I'm currently a solo iOS developer who just released my first app, Timbre, onto the App Store. Timbre originally came about because I wanted to build a sleep sounds / sleep tracker app. I had used Headspace, Calm, Pillow,
