       | It's probably not a good idea for a long run, but my daughter for
       | a few years now is put into sleep with noise generated from the
       | app. It was a life saver for us, to help her get to sleep.
       | Otherwise we are too loud for her, or neighbors. I put the preset
       | to a triangle starting high on red and low on violet. Also
       | options to a delicate amplitude pulsing.
       | 
       | It is also very helpful to go to sleep if it is too loud also for
       | adults.
       | 
       | It is a perfect app for me.

       | I can also recommend Binaural Beats -

       | I'm sure the somewhat mythical claims about the healing power of
       | noise are over-stated, but it does provide a more interesting set
       | of noises than Chroma Doze. Excellent for long-haul flights and
       | crappy commutes.

         | performing people when listening to both noise and binaural
         | beats, some publications reporting effect sizes comparable to
         | stimulant medication.
         |

         | I think I prefer Binaureal Beats. For me, Chroma Doze is too
         | free form to be useful. I like a bit of guidance as provided by
         | binaureal beats more.

       | Don't miss the recent discussion documenting "NeoStore [1], which
       | is an alternative frontend for F-droid" that auto-updates (and a
       | couple other options):

       | Great, simple app. When my tinnitus hinders me from going to
       | sleep, I turn on Chroma Doze and that will mask the ring.
       | Luckily, I don't need it often. And yeah, it can also mask other
       | noise.
