Show HN: A rain Pomodoro with brown noise, ASMR, and Middle Eastern
music
I built this because most Pomodoro timers felt too sterile. I
wanted something that actually pulls you in with rain, brown noise,
soft ASMR, and a few Middle Eastern tracks. Added animated
backgrounds so it's not just a blank screen. Runs fully in your
browser. No accounts, no tracking, just open it and focus. If you
give it a try or have ideas to make it better, I'd love to hear.

| Gear icon on the top right, in the desktop version.
