## What is Rain, From Below?

Lie five metres down in a freshwater lake and watch the rain arrive from underneath.

Every drop writes its own ring on the surface and drags a puff of air under with it. The sky fits into a bright disc above you - that is what water does to light - and around it the surface turns to mirror. A sandy bank rises toward shore with eelgrass swaying and lily pads floating overhead. A school of small fish drifts through; larger ones cruise past; now and then a turtle, an eel or a yabby wanders by.

The sound is what a hydrophone would hear: the ringing of air bubbles, shifted down to where you can hear it, thickening into a roar when the rain comes on heavy. Distant thunder in a storm, wind across the surface, a boat passing far off.

Nothing here is a recording. The scene is generated live, so ten hours run without a loop, and the fish never repeat.

WHAT YOU CAN CHANGE
• Three modes: Sleep (dim, calm, quiet), Focus, Showcase
• Time of day on a 24-hour slider, or let it follow the real clock - dawn, overcast, dusk, night with a moon that matches tonight's phase
• Rain, hail or snow; storms with lightning and thunder
• Waves from glass-calm to a rolling swell; four kinds of water
• How many fish, how much eelgrass, lily pads, creatures, birds, insects
• A timer up to ten hours or an end time, with a fade-out or a wake-into-dawn ending
• Lock-screen play/pause; keeps playing with the screen off

Made for sleeping, studying and sitting still.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-09-27

A new look. Softer, rounder controls, no more all-caps labels, and one plain line under the title that tells you where you are and how long it runs.

Simpler settings. The settings now open on a short list of the things most people change. Tap Everything for the full set.

Accessibility. Text size follows your iPhone's Larger Text, or pick up to twice the size in More > Accessibility. Reduce motion keeps the camera still and softens lightning. Higher contrast brightens the text. VoiceOver reads every control and describes the scene.

Fixes: if your subscription ends, the Pro settings go back to their defaults, and changing the length in the last minute and a half no longer ends the session anyway.

### 1.2.2 — 2026-09-23

Three ways in. Under Go under there are now three cards: Sleep tonight (8 hours, fades out), Study (3 hours in Focus) and Just watch (no timer). One tap sets it up and goes under. With Pro they also set the time of day, and Study turns the pomodoro on.

Fixed: with Notify on, closing the app during a session could leave a "Halfway" banner that turned up later. Banners now stop when the session does.

Redeem a code: More > Pro > Redeem a code (also on the unlock sheet) opens Apple's code sheet, and Pro switches on by itself once the code is accepted.

Quick set-ups now only change settings you can use, and Report a problem goes to frombelowstudios@gmail.com.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-09-21

Fixes and a few quiet additions.

- On newer iPhones the settings card and the Tune sheet now sit clear of the Dynamic Island, with a tidier tab strip.
- The Full button is gone from the app (iOS turned it into a system full-screen banner). It is still there on the web version.
- Picture in picture is now a Session setting. It is off by default on iPhone, where iOS cannot float the picture.
- New and optional: quiet notifications halfway through, at each pomodoro mark and when the session ends, plus a gentle nudge if you have not been under for a few days. Session > Notify and Nudge.
- The Session tab no longer runs off the edge on narrower phones.

Still early days. If something is off, More > Report a problem sends me the details. Otherwise a AppleStore review helps just as much!!

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-19
