Description

An online tone generator that produces pure audio tones from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz in real time. It operates entirely within the web browser using the Web Audio API, meaning it requires no downloads, installations, or user accounts, and can even work offline after loading. Users can generate sine, square, triangle, and sawtooth waveforms, perform frequency sweeps, execute left/right speaker balance tests, and use a community-inspired 165Hz water eject sound to help clear phone speaker grilles.

Playground is an AI-powered design platform that allows anyone to create custom logos, graphics, t-shirts, stickers, and wallpapers. It integrates multiple top-tier AI models including GPT Image 2, Nano Banana Pro, and Seedream, providing a template catalog of thousands of designs across 24 categories. Playground supports real typography for posters and packaging, offers non-destructive magic editing tools, and even allows users to turn their creations into physical products like caps, hoodies, socks, and totes.
