About

SunDrift

Features
Read full description

SunDrift is a living soundscape for iPhone. It creates a slow, generative ambience of wind, foliage, birds, insects, and warm environmental textures that gently shift over time. SunDrift behaves like a small procedural sound installation: morning, daytime, and evening states unfold naturally from the real clock, creating the feeling of a digital window into a quiet outdoor place that never loops. Use it while reading, resting, working, or settling a room. Open the app and the soundscape begins. Let it continue in the background, switch into manual time mode when you want to drift through the day yourself, or use sleep mode to let the atmosphere fade away gently. Features: - Generative tropical ambience - Real-time day cycle based on system time - Background audio for locked-screen listening - Minimal abstract sky gradient - Manual time mode and sleep timer with the supporter unlock SunDrift is a Boom Clap Play sound art piece: calm, understated, and designed to make a personal space feel alive.
