I have crafted a Pomodoro timer called Stillscape, which offers an immersive experience to help you concentrate. It features a rainy cafe scene that changes dynamically as you focus. The timer is completely free, requiring no login, download, or subscription. Unlike traditional timers, Stillscape presents a user-friendly interface with a built-in task list and stats tracking.
The website hosts a variety of ambient sounds, such as rain, thunder, fireplace, forest, ocean, cafe chatter, wind, and white/brown/pink noise. Users can customize their focus sessions by selecting preset scenes like Deep Focus, Writing Mode, Rainy Day, Sleep Sound, and more. The application is built using a lightweight web app technology stack, including Vanilla JS, Web Audio API, CSS animations, and canvas.
Data is stored locally in the user's browser using LocalStorage, ensuring privacy and no server interaction. Stillscape is designed for remote workers, students, writers, and individuals with ADHD who benefit from ambient noise to concentrate. Try it out at still.sendafun.com and share your favorite ambient sound for focus in the comments.
