SonicMood

I have to admit it. Admission is the first step to healing. I'm a MacZot and MacUpdate Promo junkie. Everyday I get my email tempting me with the next great app. I do pretty well fighting off the temptation to hit the PayPal purchase button and get my own personal copy that is until Feb. 13th.

That day MacZot was featuring one of the apps I've tried several times since it came out, but never purchased. SonicMood is like wind chimes for your computer. The app mixes a combination of chimes, musical instruments, and natural sounds to try to support the mood you are in or want to be in. In my case, the music seems to help me concentrate on the tasks at hand better and has made me more productive since I started using it. I would begin to do something, and eventually I would need to go to the net for something and my eyes would glaze over and hours would disappear like flower petals in the wind, leaving me more stressed and further behind. SonicMood seems to help me maintain my focus and allow me to get things done easier, faster, and better.

Everyone is different and I'm one of those people that needs sounds to block out the rest of my environment so I can concentrate. SonicMood does exactly that. There is not a predicative melody, so your brain can acknowledge that the sounds are there, but not concentrate on them. The app varies the delivery of the sounds associated with the theme and mood being played so it does not become stale and predictive. It is not like some I've heard that seem to have a specific starting and stopping point so the sounds just become a loop. You can leave the app playing all day at the volume level you wish, and it will always be new and stimulating. I wonder what I would have accomplished it I had jumped in earlier.

One of the things I like about the app is the author. He responds quickly to your emails, and his work seems to more of a labor of love as opposed to just a money making venture. One of the sounds I have liked in other apps like his was city sounds, so I made the suggestions and within a few hours I now have some urban and suburban sound samples to try. I'm so glad I finally jumped in and purchased his app.

I recommend this app highly and strongly suggest that you take a look. You can try SonicMood for thirty real days. That should give your plenty of time to get hooked and decide to buy your own copy. I'm glad I did and wish I hadn't waited so long.
