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.

TIL, thank you lovegrenoble for bringing this adjective into my life. I always just said "Oh I don't mind the rain"...for years..

Either your suggestion or OPs caused my phone to begin to heat significantly within seconds.

For shame, these are great tools...

For anyone curious:

> A pluviophile is a person who loves rain and rainy days. It's someone who finds joy, peace, or comfort in the sight, sound, and atmosphere of rain. The term combines the Latin word "pluvia" (rain) with the suffix "-phile" (lover of).

In desktop Firefox it maxes out one core while OP's link is the active tab. When the tab is in the background, CPU usage looks negligible.
