App Configuration
Settings
Tune the look, the feel, and how the drone responds — all from one tab.
Overview
The Settings cards
Settings is a single scrolling list of cards. Each one takes effect immediately:
- Premium — your access status. Shows daily free time remaining, starts a 3-day free trial, or unlocks unlimited practice and restores past purchases.
- Appearance — switch between light and dark mode. The choice is remembered across launches.
- Background Play — keep audio playing when the app is minimised or your screen locks. Available with Premium.
- String Timing — open the controls for the gap between each plucked string (see below).
- Surpeti (Drone) — a continuous, harmonium-style drone at the tonic, separate from the tanpura's plucked cycle. Toggle it on and set its own volume; useful for vocal warmups and long sittings.
Timing
String Timing
Open the timing controls to set the gap after each string in the pluck cycle — the changes apply live to both tanpuras.
Each string gets its own slider in seconds. Tighter gaps give a busy, percussive feel; longer gaps give a slow, spacious drone. The tap-to-set row mirrors your 4-, 5-, or 6-string layout, and Reset to defaults brings everything back if you over-tweak.
