Description

Notify Sound is a browser-based notification sound maker and editor that synthesizes audio from scratch using oscillators and noise instead of samples. Users can stack sound layers, adjust pitch and decay sliders, apply audio effects, or connect an AI assistant via its MCP server to generate and edit custom alerts, game effects, and UI clicks.

Reclaim defends focus time, syncs tasks, and adapts your calendar to changing priorities.

• Enables granular sound shaping through independent sliders for pitch, slide, attack, decay, ring out, and wave shapes.
• Sounds are saved locally inside the user's browser, ensuring data privacy as creators' sounds are not uploaded to the servers.
• Shared links embed sound configurations in the URL hash, which browsers do not transmit to the host servers.
