How to use Andorius

• Browse every page and read about every soundscape.
• Play the 3 free soundscapes (no signup) for 20 minutes a day. The rest unlock with the 7-day free trial.
• Try moonMind: 60 seconds at a time, 5 times a day.

Other soundscapes show “Sign in to preview this track”. A free account adds favourites, comments, listening history and settings that follow you to every device.

At the top of every page:

• Home — the start page, with a few free soundscapes to try.
• Soundscapes — the whole library.
• Pricing — plans, prices and the moonMind add-on.
• Blog — articles about sound, focus and calm.
• WebApps — opens a window with moonMind and what your plan unlocks.
• The round button (your photo or initials) — sign in, or open your account menu.
• Dark / Light — switches the colour theme. Your choice is remembered.

At the bottom: Privacy, Terms, Help, this Guide, the Blog and a WebApps menu.

On the Home and Pricing pages, Help me choose asks two quick questions and suggests a plan and whether moonMind suits you. It only suggests — nothing is bought until you go through checkout.

1. Tap the round button at the top right.
2. Choose Sign up.
3. Either press Continue with Google (or Apple), or type your name, email and a password of at least 8 characters, then Create Account.
4. With email sign-up we send you a link to confirm your address. It works for 24 hours.

A short welcome window shows the first steps. You can close it any time.

• Sign in: round button → Sign in → Google, Apple, or email and password.
• Remember me for 30 days: tick it on your own device. Without it you are signed out after an hour without activity. Google and Apple sign-ins are remembered automatically.
• For safety, everyone signs in again at least every 90 days.
• Sign out: round button → Sign out, or the Sign Out button on the Account page.

1. Open the sign-in window and tap Forgot password?
2. Enter your email and press Send Reset Link.
3. Open the email and follow the link. It works once, for one hour.
4. Choose a new password. Every device is signed out; sign in with the new one.

If you turned on 2FA (see Security), after your password the window asks for the 6-digit code from your authenticator app. You have 5 minutes.

Lost your phone? Tap Use a recovery code instead and type one of the codes you saved. Each works once.

Each card in Soundscapes has a player strip under the picture:

Tap the picture or the title to open the soundscape's own page with a bigger player, its description, likes, comments and related soundscapes.

As soon as something plays, a bar appears at the bottom of every page:

The sound keeps going when you open another page, so you can read the blog or change settings while listening.

1. Press ≡+ on each card you want, in the order you want them.
2. Press ▶ on the player bar (or ⏭︎) to start the queue. Tracks play one after another.
3. Open the list with ≡: tap a title to jump to it, or ✕ next to it to remove it.

If you play a single card while a queue is waiting, the bar says so — press ⏭︎ to go back to the queue.

When signed in, the site remembers your last track. On the Soundscapes page the bar may show “Play again?” with that track, even if you last listened on another device. Your Account page also has a Resume button.

• “Sign in to preview this track” — you're not signed in, and only free soundscapes play without an account.
• Free plan — free soundscapes only. Pro or Creator unlocks all of them.
• “Daily playback limit reached” — you've used today's minutes (see Daily listening time).

Everything you've picked appears under Active Filters; Clear all resets them. Tapping outside the panel (or pressing Esc) closes it.

• Only seconds when sound is actually playing count. Paused time doesn't.
• Free soundscapes count too.
• moonMind's tones and textures don't count; soundscapes you load into moonMind do.
• When you're signed in, the count is kept on our server, so it's the same on all your devices.

See today's minutes and the last 7 days on your Account page.

The sound pauses and a message says “Daily playback limit reached” with a View Plans button. You can listen again tomorrow, or upgrade for more time.

Tap the ♥ on a card, or the heart on a soundscape's page (both do the same). Tap again to remove it. You need to be signed in.

Your favourites appear on your Account page and in the Favorites only filter.

1. Open the soundscape's page (tap its picture or title).
2. Type in Add a comment… (up to 500 characters).
3. Press Post or Enter.

• moonMind is an add-on: €4 a month or €38 a year, on any plan (Free, Pro or Creator).
• Without it you get a trial: 60 seconds of sound at a time, 5 times a day. When a trial ends, the sound fades and a window offers to unlock moonMind.
• Unlock it from that window, the Pricing page, or WebApps → Add to plan on your Account page.

Each channel is a column with a volume slider, a ▶ button and a name:

Press ▶ on a channel to start or stop it; drag its slider to set its volume. Channels fade in and out smoothly.

1. In moonMind, tap the word Library on one of the two library channels. The Soundscapes page opens.
2. On the soundscape you want, press Use in WebApps → moonMind.
3. You're back in moonMind with that soundscape loaded in the channel you chose. Press its ▶.

You can also start from any card: Use in WebApps → moonMind loads it into the first library channel.

The column of numbered buttons 1–5 holds your presets.

• Save: set up a mix, then tap an empty number. Give it a name (up to 20 letters) and press OK.
• Load: tap a saved preset. The mix changes over about a second.
• Overwrite: tap the preset you loaded last a second time, then OK — it saves what you hear now.
• Rename / save over any slot: press and hold a number for half a second (or Ctrl/Alt/⌘-click).

When signed in, presets are saved to your account and appear on all your devices. If you changed them on two devices at once, moonMind asks you to reload so nothing is lost.

1. Save at least two presets.
2. Tap the small dots between the numbers to set how many seconds each change takes (1–3600, default 20). The first dot is the fade-in, the last one the fade-out.
3. Press the big ▶ at the top: moonMind plays preset 1, glides to 2, then 3, and so on.
4. The ∞ loop button next to it decides whether it starts again from the first preset at the end.

Press the big ▶ again to stop; the sound fades out over the last dot's time.

• ☰ menu → Export downloads a file with all your presets, times and current mix — a backup you can keep.
• ☰ menu → Erase All stops everything and clears all presets and settings (it asks first).
• The small dot at the top switches to the calm view: a breathing orb, no menus. Tap the orb to start your last mix, tap again to let it fade. Tap the dot to return to the mixer.

moonMind keeps playing when you open other pages. The player bar shows it; tap it to come back, or ❚❚ to stop it.

1. Sign in (checkout needs an account).
2. Press Upgrade on Pricing, Upgrade Plan on your Account page, or Current Plan in the account menu. The checkout window opens.
3. Pick a plan, switch Annual on if you want to pay yearly, and tick moonMind if you want it.
4. Check the total and press Continue to payment. You go to Stripe, our secure payment provider.
5. After paying you come back to Andorius and your plan switches on within a few seconds.

Press Manage Billing on your Account page (or Pricing). Stripe's billing page opens, where you can:

• switch plan or between monthly and yearly,
• change your card,
• download invoices,
• cancel.

After cancelling you keep everything until the end of the period you paid for; your Account page shows “Cancelling at end of period”. Then you're back on Free — your favourites, history and presets stay.

• Subscriptions renew automatically each month or year until you cancel. The next date is on your Account page.
• If our prices change, you keep paying the price you signed up with.
• If a payment fails we email you. Update your card in Manage Billing and it's retried.

• Profile: your name and email, how you sign in and since when. Edit changes the name others see on your comments.
• Subscription: your plan, what you pay, its status and the next billing date. Active items lists your plan and add-ons. Upgrade / Change Plan opens checkout; Manage Billing opens Stripe.

• Today's Usage: minutes used today out of your daily amount, and a bar chart of the last 7 days.
• Listening: your day streak, minutes this month and number of sessions; Resume for your last track; your most played soundscapes; and your favourites.
• Full history → opens the Activity page (below).

Three tables: your account events (sign-ins, plan changes), every track you've played with sessions and total time, and minutes listened per day for the last 60 days. Refresh reloads them; Download JSON saves a copy.

Shows moonMind as Owned ✓, or its price with Add to plan →, which opens checkout with moonMind ticked.

Change password (email accounts): type your current password, then the new one twice (at least 8 characters). For safety you're then signed out everywhere, this device too — sign in with the new password.

Turn on 2FA — an extra code at sign-in, from an app like Google Authenticator, 1Password or Authy:

1. Press Set Up 2FA.
2. Scan the QR code with your app (on a phone, tap the link to add it directly), or type the key shown.
3. Save the recovery codes somewhere safe. They're shown only once.
4. Type the 6-digit code from the app and press Verify & Enable.

Turn it off: enter a current code (or a recovery code) and press Disable 2FA. The page shows how many recovery codes you have left.

We only use the cookies needed to keep you signed in and remember your settings — no advertising or tracking cookies. Visitor statistics come from Plausible, which uses no cookies and collects no personal data. The full details are in the Privacy Policy.

Account page → Data & Privacy → Export My Data. You get a file with your profile, subscription, listening history, likes, comments and moonMind presets.

1. Account page → Delete Account. The window lists any subscriptions that will be cancelled.
2. If you signed in a while ago, press Sign in again first (you then have 15 minutes).
3. Type DELETE, plus your password or 2FA code if asked, and confirm.

What happens:

• Your subscriptions stop right away — no more charges, and no refund for time already paid.
• You're signed out everywhere.
• Changed your mind? Sign in again within 30 days and everything comes back (cancelled subscriptions stay cancelled).
• After 30 days everything is erased for good. Invoices stay with Stripe, as tax law requires.

1. Check your device volume and that the tab isn't muted.
2. Press ▶ yourself — browsers don't allow sound to start on its own.
3. Is the track locked, or is today's time used up? See Why is a track locked?
4. Reload the page. Still silent? Try Chrome, Safari or Firefox, up to date.

It normally updates within seconds of coming back from Stripe. Reload your Account page. If it still shows the old plan after a few minutes, write to us with the email you pay with — we'll sort it out.

Sign in with one of your recovery codes (Use a recovery code instead), then set 2FA up again on the new phone. No codes left? Contact us from the email of your account.

Use the form on the Help page: your email and your message. We reply by email, usually within 24 hours.
