FocusTribeBreak Room with Ambient Sounds
A shared break room with ambient sound — rain, forest, cafe, fireplace, ocean, thunderstorm, white noise. Built so the break is a real reset rather than a gap you fill with another tab.
Try FocusTribe freeMost Pomodoro apps treat the break as an afterthought. FocusTribe treats it as half the work. The break room is a deliberately low-stimulation space with predictable ambient sound, so attention actually recovers before the next block instead of being spent on a feed.
Seven soundscapes, mixable
Rain, forest, cafe, fireplace, ocean, thunderstorm and white noise, each with its own volume slider so you can layer them. Pick a combination and stay with it — the association with "time to reset" builds up over a couple of weeks.
Tasks deliberately hidden
Tasks live only in the focus room. The break room shows none of them, on purpose.
Your partner can see you are on a break
Break status is shared, so stepping away reads as a normal part of the rhythm rather than as having gone quiet.
A guided breathing exercise
A paced breathing guide for when a break needs to actively bring your heart rate down rather than just pass time.
Frequently asked
Why these specific sounds?+
They cover different jobs: rain and white noise mask surrounding speech and noise, forest and cafe give a sense of company without demanding attention, fireplace and ocean are low-arousal and calming.
Can I upload my own audio?+
Not today.
Can I play ambient sound during the focus block, not just the break?+
Yes. The same sound tray is available in the Pomodoro room, and there is a standalone mixer at /sound-mixer that needs no account.
