Particles and Waves is an independent brand dedicated to building simple, intuitive, and immersive tools across the fields of science, education, language, and creativity.
We believe in connecting perception and thought — transforming the invisible into the visible through design and technology.
Mission
Make the invisible, visible.
Our mission is to support self-directed learning and discovery through quiet, focused tools that amplify curiosity rather than interrupt it.
Vision
We believe real learning begins with play and wonder.
Particles and Waves breaks down complexity and reimagines it in a way that feels natural and engaging for every learner.
Values
- Immersion – Tools designed to reduce friction and noise
- Autonomy – Let users choose how they engage
- Essence – Strip away everything but the core experience
Our Product: notaps
notaps is a vocabulary learning app designed with a unique concept:
“Learn words without tapping.”
It displays English words and their translations in a smooth, fade-in/fade-out style — no need to touch the screen. The user simply watches and absorbs.
Key Features:
- Offline, no login, no ads – Your data stays on your device only
- One-time purchase – No subscriptions, no hidden costs
- Cognitive UI – Designed to simulate how we naturally move words into memory
- Gentle feedback – Visual progress cues like sparkles or bars, not points or pop-ups
notaps is made for busy people who want to keep learning without breaking their flow.
