Necrometer - chris rogers

Necrometer
chris rogers
Genre: Utilities
Price: £9.99
Release Date: May 25, 2023

Necrometer

Designed for ghost hunters and paranormal enthusiasts. This multifunctional app can be used to detect and communicate with spirits. We have taken known spirit communication techniques and theories and have implemented them here in new and innovative ways.

-Meter that detects and measures magnetic energy
-Text and Speech modes
-2 Built in Text To Speech A.I. systems
-3 Voices
-Pitch control with randomization option
-Reverb and Echo audio effects

The Meter:
It is believed that spirits can affect magnetic energy fields. Using your phone’s Magnetometer sensor this app can detect levels of magnetic interference in the environment. These fluctuations of energy fields have a direct influence on the communication.
-Meter noise (optional) reacts to fluctuations in the meter

Text Mode:
Simply slide the power button over to "Text" and begin asking your questions. Walking around a location you can detect energy anomalies and various levels of magnetic interference. Words and phrases will begin coming through the app. The relevance of the communication is determined by multiple factors including spirit connection and strength. Those who have a stronger connection to the otherside may experience more direct and relevant communication.
Similar to the famous Ovilus ITC device, the Necrometer app is designed to facilitate spirit communication by measuring fluctuations of energy in the environment. The idea that spirits can manipulate electronic devices for purposes of communication is well documented. Based on the theory of random selection and known evidence of energy manipulation, the Necrometer app utilizes these known methods of spirit communication and paranormal phenomena.
-Access to over 60k words/phrases
-Custom word list, Add your own words and phrases

Speech Mode:
Sliding the power button over to "Speech" will turn on this unique mode of the app. Created to facilitate ghost box/ EVP like communication, the speech mode of the app provides audible spirit communication like no other. Generating speech sounds from within the app, there are no sound banks, word lists, radio, or any other pre-recorded audio. Spirits can use and manipulate these random speech sounds to form coherent messages, an idea rooted in ITC/EVP theory. Some of these messages may be heard in real time similar to a ghost box, other EVP-like communication can be heard on playback of the recorded audio. Again, the strength and level of communication being recieved depends on various factors. Coherent messages can only be obtained through communication with spirit, otherwise only unclear speech sounds will be heard.
-Rate slider to increase/decrease rate of audio coming through

The Necrometer app is an advanced all-in-one app that can be used to detect energy anomalies in the area, produce words and phrases that can provide relevant clues/information, and provide audible ITC/EVP communication from spirit.

Necrophonic - chris rogers

Necrophonic
chris rogers
Genre: Utilities
Price: £9.99
Release Date: July 24, 2018

Necrophonic is an ITC app used for spirit communication and EVP research.

8 Sounds Banks:

The audio has been mastered in a way to bring out various sound properties .
Using Pro Tools I was able to enhance high, mid, and low range frequencies. I also applied
other filters to create unique sound characteristics to help layer the audio and create an
environment suitable for spirit communication.

The audio itself is made up of phonemes,
partial words, reverse audio, foreign languages, and other parts of speech that can help
spirits communicate. Besides some basic phonetic sounds such as na, no, da, do, di, ma, may, etc.
there are no real words of phrases contained in the banks.

These sounds banks play in a similar
way to that of my other app "Spiritus Ghost Box" but instead of 4 sound banks Necrophonic has
8 active sound banks.

White Noise Sound Bank:

This app also has an optional 9th sound bank called "White noise".
This bank can be used alone or with the other 8 giving you a total of 9 sound banks. This
audio is taken for the internal sounds of the famous DR60 recorder that is known as the
"Holy Grail" of EVP recorders. This is not a White Noise Generator, this is a normal sound bank like the others but this one contains white noise from the DR60.

Audio Effects:

This app does contain Echo and Reverb audio effects. These have been proven
to be the best effects to apply to ITC sessions. The echo can create audio that can be
manipulated within the echo itself. Echo can also help in live, real time communication by
repeating the audio and allowing you to better hear whats coming through. Reverb can be
applied to the audio to create a spacious sound environment that will enhance audio manipulation.

Noir - Dark Mode for Safari - Jeffrey Kuiken

Noir - Dark Mode for Safari
Jeffrey Kuiken
Genre: Utilities
Price: £3.99
Release Date: September 20, 2021

Noir is a Safari extension that automatically adds a dark mode to every website you visit.

It makes browsing the web at night so much better. With Noir, you won’t be blinded by bright websites ever again.

And the results look great too. Noir generates a custom dark style for each website you visit, based on the colors that are used on a page. You won’t even notice this happening in the background – that’s how fast it is – but you’ll certainly appreciate the end result: a beautiful dark mode tailored for each website, where contrast is preserved and highlights still pop. And with over 20 built-in themes and the ability to create your own, you can customize the results exactly the way you want.

Noir works with any website you visit in Safari, automatically. By default, Noir is linked to your device’s Dark Mode, so websites will only go dark when you want them to. But you can easily customize this to your liking, even per website. Only want to use Noir on just a few specific websites? Sure thing! Disable Noir on some websites? No problem!

Built from the ground up for iOS and iPadOS, the app feels right at home on your device. It supports the brand new Safari web extension feature, which means there’s no need to manually activate it every time you load a new page. The app also tightly integrates with system features such as Shortcuts, Focus Filters, and Widgets to fully integrate Noir in all your workflows. And your settings are automatically synced to all your devices using iCloud.

And just as importantly, Noir takes your privacy seriously: it doesn’t collect any of your browsing data. Period.

Noir is made by an indie iOS developer. It does not include any subscriptions or ads. Buy Noir once, use it forever.

Notes:
• Found a website where Noir’s dark mode doesn’t look just right? Let me know by reporting it. The app will be frequently updated to address issues that are reported.

Privacy Policy:
• The Noir extension requires access to the websites you visit to analyze the existing style of the page and to override it with Noir's dark style.
• Noir never collects your browsing data. The only data Noir ‘collects’ are your settings, and those will never leave your device or iCloud account.
• You can read Noir’s full Privacy Policy at https://getnoir.app/privacypolicy
