Loving this App! You should really charge something for it. It obviously took a lot of work to put it together.
My Question: Is there a way to turn off the vibration?
I can’t find it in the options.
Thank you Alexander!!
on Android you can uncheck vibration for smart timer event.
on iPhone, you can open the config panel (bottom inner button on the singularity screen) and disconnect the vibration from a reminder – connector between vibration and the reminder turns red
How could we export the Graphs generated into a pdf or other format that could be exported to my PC to be printed on a nice sheet of paper instead of the tiny display ?
Or maybe an application to download on PC that can interpret the data Gzip files to build Graphs on office or whatever format.
Thanks!
I am really interested in lucid dreaming and astral travel (more recently). Only know of about one or two times Lucid in dreams. Looking forward to see how it works!
