How Ambient Rain works
Ambient Rain is a calm breathing timer. Rain falls on a dark window while a ring grows and shrinks. Breathe in as the ring grows, hold if the pattern says so, and breathe out as it shrinks. A number inside the ring counts down each phase. The rain sound is made on the fly in your browser, so it needs no download.
Pick your session
Before you start you choose a breathing pattern (Calm 4-2-4 or Box 4-4-4-4), a length and a sky: plain rain, heavy rain or a storm with thunder. Your picks are saved in this browser.
Staying in sync
Tap the window, or press Space or Enter, right as each breath begins. A tap close enough to the start earns a gold ripple and counts as in sync. At the end you get a harmony grade based on how many breaths you matched, plus your streak of days. It is a relaxation tool, not medical advice.
