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.

I understand that this has very little relevance for a pomodoro app where the intent is to create a fictional atmosphere to help you focus, but with the mention of Middle Eastern music I was reminded of this (admittedly long) video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=LR511iAedYU

I mean he's not wrong, but why would I watch this nearly 2 hours narcissist orgy? Too much talking, too little music. This video is primarily about this dude making himself look good, which also seriously questions his credibility.

tl;dw

Is the music in the app "real" middle eastern music or not? What's an example of something real if not?
