Ambio: Focus Timer & Sounds
Blend up to 3 of 12 ambient sounds into a focus soundscape you build yourself
New in version 2.0.0
Ambio 2.0
THE MIXER
Blend up to three of twelve ambient sounds at once, each with its own level. The gradient and the particles behind the timer now follow your whole mix, not one sound.
TABLETS
A real two-pane layout: the mixer stays beside the timer instead of sliding over it.
HELLO, HOLA, BONJOUR, こんにちは
Ambio speaks your language now — the whole app, not just this page.
ALSO
- The play button no longer hides below the fold
- Sound tiles keep one size
- Audio focus and saved-mix fixes

- Audio focus and saved-mix fixes
Ambio turns focus time into an environment you build yourself. Pick up to three ambient sounds, set how loud each one sits in the mix, and the whole app answers — colour, light and motion follow what you made.
THE MIXER
Twelve sounds, three at a time, each with its own level. Rain over a distant café. Fireplace under wind. Ocean with crickets at dusk. Every blend is yours to balance, and Ambio remembers it for next time.
- Rain, Fireplace, Café, Forest
- Birds, Crickets, Ocean, Stream
- Cave, Wind, White Noise, Brown Noise
IT LOOKS LIKE IT SOUNDS
The background is a living gradient blended from every sound in your mix — cool blues for rain, warm amber for fireplace, deep green for forest. Particles drift behind the timer and answer the whole mix, not just one sound. Prefer stillness? Turn the effects off.
FOCUS TIMER
Pomodoro presets at 25 or 50 minutes, or set your own focus and break lengths. A gentle chime closes the session without pulling you out of it. Made for studying, writing, coding, or anything that needs sustained attention.
AMBIENT MODE
Not timing anything? Switch to ambient mode and let the mix run. For reading, meditation, winding down, or sleep.
SEE WHERE YOUR FOCUS WENT
A session history keeps track of the hours you actually put in.
BUILT FOR EVERY SCREEN
On tablets, the mixer sits permanently beside the timer — two panes, no switching back and forth.
