SonicAura

No. Pro is a one-time purchase of US$ 8.99. The license does not expire and there is never a renewal charge. In Brazil the price is R$ 39,95, also paid once.

Yes. SonicAura measures the system audio loopback, so every source that reaches your speakers works: music services, browsers, media players, games and DAWs.

One activation at a time. Deactivate the license on the current machine inside the app and activate it on the new one — the app has a documented deactivation and reset flow.

No. The app installs and runs per user, without elevated privileges, and it does not require a driver or a service.

From the Microsoft Store, when the Store is available on the machine: it installs without a download dialog of its own and keeps the app up to date, and a Pro purchase made there is tied to the Microsoft account used — there is no key to copy. The installer and the portable build on this page install the same app for the machines where the Store is not available, and Pro is bought on the web there, with a license key delivered by email — and that key works in either install. Both paths unlock the same thing.

An aura is a visual layer driven by the audio. The free plan carries 2 auras — Corner Waves and Ink in Water — and the app also ships Radial Wobble (classic), Fireflies, Music Rain, Constellation, Delay Echo, Glass Cracks, Pulse Bars and Topographic. Everything else lives in the aura directory: nineteen auras you install from the site, one file each, and every one of them is part of Pro.

It is a catalog of auras for the app. An aura is a single file in an open, documented format, so anyone can publish one — including you. Installing from the marketplace is a Pro feature.

It is the part of the app that writes an aura from a description you type, installed as an ordinary file you can read, edit and share. It uses your own key at the AI provider you choose — OpenAI, DeepSeek, Grok, Claude or anything OpenAI-compatible — and what you type goes from your machine straight to that provider, never through Edenware. Both the writer and installing it are part of Pro.

No. In Audio-reactive mode — the default — the auras keep to the music and step aside while a video plays, while a video player sits open with no music in it, or while an application is filling the screen. The list under the switch lets you label any application as music, video or “keep the auras over it”, and the app asks once the first time it meets something new.

No. Screen pixels and system audio are measured in memory and never written to a file or sent anywhere. The typing layer measures the instant and the position of the physical key and never receives the character. The privacy policy describes each layer in detail.

While an aura that reads the screen is active, the overlay excludes itself from the capture APIs of Windows, so your screenshots and screen recordings stay clean.
