Ambio: Focus Timer & Sounds

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.

SESSION PLANS
Need more than one round? The Plan preset lets you line up focus and break steps in any order, loop them or end there. A success chime marks the end of the plan.

A MIX FOR BREAKS
Rest to a different sound. Turn on sound during breaks and pick a second mix that plays only while you rest — the focus mix returns when the break ends.

AMBIENT MODE
Not timing anything? Switch to ambient mode and let the mix run. For reading, meditation, winding down, or sleep — a sleep timer stops the mix for you once you have drifted off.

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.
