I built a green noise player to help you relax, focus, and stay calm
Sometimes, I struggle to block distractions and create a calming environment while working. Most tools I’ve tried were either cluttered, didn’t provide the right kind of sound, or required payment. So, I decided to build my own simple green noise player. For context, green noise features balanced, mid-range frequencies that mimic soothing natural sounds—ideal for relaxation, focus, or creating a peaceful backdrop while working. It’s also great for taking a mindful break during a busy day. Right now, it’s a free, lightweight, browser-based solution. Playback pauses on mobile when the screen…

In the maker’s words, at launch
Sometimes, I struggle to block distractions and create a calming environment while working. Most tools I’ve tried were either cluttered, didn’t provide the right kind of sound, or required payment. So, I decided to build my own simple green noise player.

- IBI built a simple ambient sound app with no ads or subscriptionsOct 2025 · ambisounds.app · ▲314
I’ve always liked having background noise while working or falling asleep, but I got frustrated that most “white noise” or ambient sound apps are either paywalled, stuffed with ads, or try to upsell subscriptions for basic features. So I made Ambi, a small iOS app with a clean interface and a set of freely available ambient sounds — rain, waves, wind, birds, that sort of thing. You can mix them, adjust volume levels, and just let it play all night or while you work. Everything works offline and there are no hidden catches. It’s something I built for myself first, but I figured others might…

- TITetris in a PDF▲1,289
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…
