If you’re in the press and looking for apps to cover I made a little press release for the @DarkNoiseApp iOS 17 release next Monday !

It’s got some hero images and a little demo video of the interactive widgets on StandBy mode in action 😁

Dark Noise 3.2 - Interactive Widgets

The official site of the Dark Noise app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

I’m pretty happy with how all of the widgets turned out! StandBy mode in particular is pretty sweet. It feels tailor made for a lot of Dark Noise users who use it for sleeping 😴
@charliemchapman very cool! Going to try that out next week when I get my new iPhone with standby mode
@charliemchapman why the heck can’t we have a digital clock in this mode? I discovered that last night.
@MuseumShuffle Sounds like an opportunity
@MuseumShuffle @charliemchapman Custom watch faces are here. They're just not on the watch.
@thillsman @charliemchapman it’s such a kick in the teeth that the watch face I’ve been dying for is available now for the ultra and I’m buying a new series 9.
@MuseumShuffle @charliemchapman there’s still some hours until iOS 17 comes out. Go!
@rafa @charliemchapman I can't figure out how to make a widget update once a minute! 😭
@MuseumShuffle @rafa @charliemchapman I think even if you provide a timeline of entries a minute apart, you’ll still get throttled. Have you tried this API? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/text/datestyle/time
time | Apple Developer Documentation

A style displaying only the time component for a date.

@coughski @rafa @charliemchapman yep, that’s the default when you create a new widget. If it’s throttled, then that event time is going to be a few minutes ago.
@MuseumShuffle @rafa @charliemchapman ooh gotcha. Thought that was one of the dynamic styles, like timerInterval. There is one with seconds, however
@MuseumShuffle @rafa @charliemchapman same question: how to do this without being throttled?
@charliemchapman @gedeonm What stand is that? (I love Standy Mode, btw)
@Mountaineerdave @gedeonm it’s this foldable stand I found from a random company on Amazon. https://a.co/d/21bhA6f

@charliemchapman pretty cool, hope this is a feature Samsung will steal. Favorite is having easy access to background noise

@charliemchapman DarkNoise is so good in StandBy mode!

Q: which stand is this?

@y2mango it’s this foldable stand I found on Amazon. I wanted something where I could control the height and angle easily since it’ll mostly live on my desk actually https://a.co/d/21bhA6f

@charliemchapman I realize I need to take product photos to show StandBy mode. The landscape screenshots, even with the iPhone frames, don't do their justice 😅
