Leave a window open while you study. Seventeen window seats around the world. The Han River in Seoul, sunset over the Thames in London, drifting ice in Paradise Bay, Antarctica. Spin the globe, pick one, and let it run β time passes as if you were sitting there. β Mix the sound Waves, rain, a fireplace, a cafΓ© β ten tracks, each with its own level. Every window opens with sounds that suit it: put on a sea view and you hear surf. β Things happen, now and then A tram passes in Sapporo. The fountain rises at the Louvre. A penguin dives in Antarctica. The gaps are never the same length, so the screen is passing time rather than a loop. β It counts the hours you sat Set how long you'll study and how many breaks you want. Time accumulates per window seat. β Put a desk in front of it A desk and a lamp in the foreground, if you want one. Turn it off if you don't. β See who else is here How many people are watching the same window right now. Even at 3am, you're not the only one. β Β· Five window seats are open at no cost. The rest open with a subscription. KRW 5,900/month, KRW 29,900/year (7-day free trial), or KRW 49,000 once for lifetime. Β· No account, no sign-in. Β· Some window views are video generated by AI from a single photograph. Those screens are marked "Made with AI" in the app. Β· Works alongside Apple Music.
