Infinite white noise. No loops. No ads. Pay once.

What it does

Every white noise app loops. After a minute or two, your brain catches the loop and wakes you up. Veil doesn't. Every sound is synthesized on your device in real time, never recorded, never repeated. Truly infinite. Plus things no recording-based app can do: precision volume, per-sound tone shaping, a fade-out sleep timer, full offline use. Dark mode only. $4.99 one-time unlock. No subscription. No account. No ads on premium.

    Ambiphone, no-nonsense ambient music and white noise2024 · ambiph.one · ▲357

    I built this free, no-nonsense white noise app. I know there are plenty of them out there already, but I wanted to make something beautiful and easy-to-use, without logins or ads or in-app purchases or any of the other stuff a lot of them have.

    I 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…

    I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
