@joelrunyon Hey Joel, yeh we do have plans to release a Mac version eventually, although we're having to focus on iOS first.
I’ve been happily using Portal since it first came out beautiful in her face and lovely ambience I’m a fan
Oh my god, this is STUNNING. as a Hue mega nerd that loves using them to relax, I'm over the moon.
@seymourgroup So glad you're enjoying it Graham, and do drop us a line if you have any further feedback or things you'd like to see!
I have 25 Hue lights in my house currently. Needless to say, I'm going to give this a try. Absolutely gorgeous.
@brettwill1025 Cheers Brett, hope you like it and any feedback just let me know.
@mariamyusufmy Thanks so much Mariam! Hope you enjoy it and do let us know what you think :)
Wow. I'm immediately impressed! Really nice soundscapes and visuals - I can't wait to be able to try them out properly later. Also very happy by the 'One time fee' nature of the Premium functions. Top Class!
@colin_smith_ezchile_ Thanks so much Colin! Definitely let us know how it goes later and of course if you have any other feedback once you've used it for a bit longer!
Hi Product Hunters 👋
I'm really excited to share our app, Portal, with you today as we release V2 featuring a shiny new interface, Philips Hue and Siri shortcuts.
The app itself was inspired by my honeymoon where my wife and I spent several weeks camping around New Zealand in a tent. It was an amazing experience falling asleep and waking up in the most beautiful and isolated places and we were incredibly inspired by the beauty of the constantly changing environments.
When I got home to London the app started as a personal project to try to bring some of this experience home in a way I could use in my daily life, but it soon became obvious that it was something that others would enjoy too and I joined forces with my brother Tim to help launch the app publicly back in February 2019.
It's been a pretty crazy year - it was a slow start, but Apple ended up picking the app up for feature in the App Store which has culminated in us being featured as a demo in Apple Retail Stores over the holidays! We've also recently had our first major press, being named as one of the best apps for mindfulness by The Independent.
We hope you enjoy the app and would love to hear any thoughts or feedback you have.
Cheers,
Nick & Tim
@levinunnink Thanks Levi, yeh it's been a fun project on the design side and I think there's still loads of scope for more to come.
The video gave me all the feels @nickdtech! I wish you launch on Android pretty soon. Can't wait to experience it :)
@abeykoshyitty Cheers Abey! We're having to focus on iOS only for now as we're a tiny team but we do hope we'll be able to release on Android eventually.
@nickdtech Yeah, understandable! We're a small team ourselves. I'll surely put the word out to my iOS folks in the meantime! :)
@abeykoshyitty Thanks so much for your support! Yeh it's hard being a small team isn't it - so many things you want to do but just so little time in the day!
Hey @nickdtech, I really like this idea. Do roll it out to Android and Windows soon
@rebecca_ferrao Thanks so much Rebecca, we're a very small team so it may take a bit of time for us to get there, but we'll certainly do our best!
Beautiful app. By far the best app I’ve used in this category. Absolutely love the Hue integration. Well done!
@tommysilver Cheers Tommy, really appreciate it and so glad to hear the Hue integration's going down well. Lots more still to come on that side of things!
As someone who finds ambient noise to be both productive and important to my mental health, I've tried a lot of apps out there and have been somewhat happy with them, but this has an extra touch and care that I've never seen in those. Absolutely love this and didn't think twice about paying for premium - Also I very much appreciate the one time payment.
@simongabriel Thanks so much Simon, really appreciate it and do drop us a line if you ever have any further feedback or suggestions.
