Show HN: A rain Pomodoro with brown noise, ASMR, and Middle Eastern music

https://forgetoolz.com/rain-pomodoro
30•ShadowUnknown•5h ago
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)
netsharc•1h ago
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"...

ShadowUnknown•1h ago
A cozy cafe in the middle of a desert with rain outside. Not sure if that makes sense, but I love the vibe
ShadowUnknown•1h ago
Haha never thought about that. Maybe I can find a way to add something like that.
egypturnash•59m ago
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/).
johnsmith4739•2h ago
nicely done
ShadowUnknown•1h ago
Really appreciate it
zem•2h ago
I couldn't find any way to switch from rain to one of the other soundscapes - is the idea that the tool itself just varies them randomly?
netsharc•1h ago
Gear icon on the top right, in the desktop version.
zem•1h ago
ah, thanks, managed to miss that altogether!
ShadowUnknown•1h ago
Glad you found it lol. It’s on the mobile version too if you ever try it there.

Gonna try this out during work tmrw. Thank you for an awesome project!

Made my day. Hope it keeps you locked in at work.

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
ShadowUnknown•37m ago
Really appreciate all the responses and ideas here. If you think someone else might enjoy it, feel free to share it around. Thanks for checking it out!

Friendly reminder that you might want to drop “pomodoro” from your app.

To officially use the Pomodoro® name and logo in your application or platform, you must acquire a license.

Can we collectively retcon an unencumbered replacement name for such things? Odoromop?
ShadowUnknown•12m ago
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll look into it.
