How to use

  1. Cafe Work is the default — coffee-shop buzz with a light rain underlayer.
  2. Switch to Deep Focus Rain for heads-down coding or design work.
  3. Use the timer as a work block (60 or 90 min). Audio fades when the block ends.
  4. Save one mix per work mode (meetings buffer, coding, writing) so you can swap scenes in a tap.

FAQ

Why coffee-shop noise instead of silence?

Moderate ambient noise (around 70 dB conceptually) has been linked to improved creative performance in some studies. More importantly, it masks sudden distractions in open offices and home work setups.

Will this drown out my video calls?

This page plays into your system output, not your microphone. Video calls usually use a separate output, so you can mute the work mix during calls and resume after.

How many layers is too many?

For work, two or three is usually optimal. The point is a stable bed, not a scene. Add a fourth layer only if it adds real masking — for example, a fan if your room has a noticeable HVAC cycle.

Work ambience vs focus music

Both work for short tasks. For multi-hour work blocks, ambience tends to
win because it demands no attention — you never notice the chorus, the
tempo change, or the lyrics.
