I built this because most Pomodoro timers felt too sterile.

I wanted something that actually pulls you in with rain, brown noise, soft ASMR, and a few Middle Eastern tracks. Added animated backgrounds so it’s not just a blank screen.

Runs fully in your browser. No accounts, no tracking, just open it and focus.

If you give it a try or have ideas to make it better, I’d love to hear.

Looks nice, immediately wanted to multiselect audio (rain AND Middle East)

I suppose one could do it with... 2 browser tabs. Ah but you end up with 2 countdowns.

Makes me wonder about the difference between "ambient cafe: Starbucks" vs "ambient cafe: somewhere in the Middle East"...

Haha never thought about that. Maybe I can find a way to add something like that.

A cozy cafe in the middle of a desert with rain outside. Not sure if that makes sense, but I love the vibe

https://mynoise.net has a ton of sound generators, pomodoro mode, and lets you mix the generators any way you like (see https://mynoise.net/superGenMaker.php) or combine the stems from multiple generators into one (see the directions at the bottom of https://mynoise.net/Community/).

I had the same thought. I've been layering multiple ASMR/ambient youtube videos recently and I find it amazingly relaxing.

For example, currently listening to these three:

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trpcSJtvMxk

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCLrDKAv9Fw

There's a million different options out there and it's surprising what layers well.

After donating you can also have it make an hour long MP3 of any mix which is useful when offline.
