Features:
- Real-time generative canvas with smooth animated loop drawing

- Two canvas moods: luminous Void and ink-on-parchment Paper
- Zen Mode from the center footer button — optional clock overlay with digital, stacked, and editorial forms, plus opacity, type, size, and eight positions
- Music responsivity in Zen: the mandala pumps on the beat and quickens with nearby sound (Reactivity slider). Audio is never recorded or stored
- Adjustable tilt parallax on iPhone and Apple Watch, with layered depth, axis control, and a faint ambient sway while Zen rests
- Favorites with quick recall and Previous history
- Home Screen and StandBy widgets
- Export presets for iPhone, iPad, and Square 4K
- Deterministic seeds for reproducible visuals
- Apple Watch companion: a full watch face with tap to regenerate, Digital Crown to cycle palettes, and long-press for settings — your iPhone's look mirrors to the watch automatically, and Send to Watch pushes the current or any favorited design to your wrist instantly
Privacy first:
Mandaza runs on-device, with no account and no analytics.
Photos access is requested only when you choose Save. Microphone access is requested only if you turn on Music responsivity, to read ambient sound levels for the live visual pulse — audio is processed in memory and is never recorded, stored, or sent anywhere.

Nouveautés (v1.4)
Zen mode grew up.
• Music that moves it — the mandala now pumps on the beat and quickens with the music. Dial in exactly how much with a Reactivity slider.
• A living clock — new stacked and editorial layouts, serif and condensed type, eight positions, and a size you choose.
• Tilt for depth — the art drifts with a gentle parallax as you tilt your iPhone or Apple Watch. Subtle or pronounced, your call.
• Paper or light — switch from luminous Void to a warm ink-on-parchment canvas, including matching exports.
Tap the center button to drop into Zen. Nothing is collected, ever.
