What it does
Record any sound, loop it seamlessly, and fall asleep to it. Somnideck is a tape-deck looper, original field recordings, and Nocturne, a 45-minute composition written to settle a newborn. Parents get calm in ten seconds. Creatives get a real audio sketchpad: pitch, reverse, studio reverb, denoise, and seamless WAV/AAC export straight into Logic or Ableton. The looper and synthetic noise are always free. No accounts, no tracking, everything stays on your device.
My wife and I had just had a baby, and we were deep in the zombie phase – the feeds in the very early hours where you desperately want to sleep, your little one is screaming, and they haven't quite figured out how to be alive yet. It's a beautiful time. It's also a brutal one. Anything you can do to make life a little easier for yourself and for the baby, you'll gladly do. So, it was 3am and I was trying to soothe our newborn. Just a gentle "shhhhh.....", over and over, the way you're supposed to. And somewhere in there, about 45 minutes in, I thought: wouldn't it be great if something could just do this? That got me thinking about the tape recorder I had growing up – and about my day job…from oscardog.co

Hey HN! A few years ago, I left my cushy big tech job to make hardware. And made the device I always wanted - an automatic piano recorder! I usually play piano improvisationally, and manually hitting record never meshed well with that. But there are always moments I wish I recorded, and now they are! Hopefully it scratches a similar itch for some of you as well! A few of the tech details: * built on an esp32-s3 * custom injection molded enclosure * BLE comms, sd card storage, DS1302 RTC * android & ios apps with Flutter * Shadertoy vfx support for video sharing - Chip
