No recordings. No two moments the same. - - - - - - - - - - - VISUALS THAT BREATHE Soft light responds to sound in real time. Gradients shift and glow as audio plays — something to watch while your mind settles, or ignore completely. No other noise app does this. - - - - - - - - - - - EIGHT COLORS OF NOISE White — full spectrum, even and bright Pink — softer, like steady rainfall Brown — deep and rolling, the internet's favorite Green — mid-range, warm and natural Grey — psychoacoustically balanced Blue — airy, high-frequency texture Violet — bright and energizing Deep Brown — ultra-low, rumbling calm Each generated by algorithm — no samples, no loops, no repetition. - - - - - - - - - - - SIMPLE BY DESIGN Sleep Timer — drift off, it handles the rest Focus Timer — Pomodoro-style sessions to stay on track Background Play — lock your phone, keep listening Home Screen Widget — one tap to your favorite noise Swipe to change colors — no menus needed - - - - - - - - - - - PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No accounts. No tracking. No personal data. Audio is generated on your device. Anonymous analytics help us improve — nothing is tied to you. - - - - - - - - - - - Light Noise isn't a wellness app with streaks and gamification. It's a beautiful, calming toy.
