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…

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…
