VelaraBahasa IndonesiaHelp
How do I start?
Tap the scene title to choose a setting (City, Tropical Forest, Beach, Cabin or My Photo), then press Play. Each scene comes with a starting mix you can change.
How do I mix sounds?
Tap Add sound to pick from the library. You can play up to 5 sounds at once. Slide to set each volume and tap × to remove one. Velara remembers your last mix.
How does the sleep timer work?
Choose 15 min, 30 min or 1 hr. Near the end the sound fades out slowly and stops, so a sudden silence won't wake you. Choose Off to play without a limit.
Does it keep playing when my screen is locked?
Yes. Velara keeps playing when the screen is locked or you open other apps, and you can pause or play from the Lock Screen and Control Center. The sleep timer keeps running too.
What happens with phone calls or when I unplug headphones?
During a call the sound pauses and usually resumes by itself when the call ends. When headphones are unplugged, Velara pauses so sound never jumps to the speaker unexpectedly. Press Play in Velara or on the Lock Screen to continue.
How do I use my own photo as the background?
Open the scene list, choose My Photo and pick a photo. Velara dims it for night-time viewing, and raindrops still glide over it. Tap Change photo to replace it. The photo stays on your device.
How do I hide the controls?
Tap the arrow at the top right to see only the scene. Tap the screen to bring the controls back. After 90 seconds without a touch, the screen dims by itself.
Will Velara drain my battery or heat my phone?
Velara is built to stay light while charging: animation slows down when you aren't touching the screen, and with the screen locked only the audio runs. For the lowest power use, lock your screen while you sleep.
Do I need the internet?
No. Every sound and image is built into the app.
