In simple English
This website plays background sounds to help you work or sleep. You can mix rain, wind, and café noises together at the same time. It also includes timers, to-do lists, and breathing exercises. You can run it on your own server or use the public version for free. It costs nothing to use.
What it is
Moodist is a web application that combines eighty-four ambient sounds with basic productivity tools. It lets you layer audio tracks, save your favourite mixes, and share them with a link.
What it is good for
Solo builders who need background noise to focus while writing code or writing copy. It removes the need to juggle multiple tabs for rain sounds, timers, and note-taking.
- Layers up to eighty-four different ambient sounds into custom mixes.
- Includes Pomodoro timers, breathing exercises, and simple to-do lists.
- Can be run locally with Docker (a way to run a program inside its own sealed box, so it cannot break anything else on your server) for private use.
- Requires an active internet connection to load initial audio files unless cached by the browser.
- Some third-party sound assets have separate licence rules from the main code.
- Offers no unique features if you already use another ambient sound generator.
