White noise while working
Nature is free; water, fire, animals, city, places and transport come with Pro.
Zen
A white noise app that plays over any page, blocking nothing
Forest, ocean, fire, city — forty-two sounds layered into a soundscape of your own. Nature sounds and white noise online, free and without a separate tab to keep alive; Zen shuts nothing down, it just makes the browser a calmer place to be.

Breathe with the circle until the screen lets go.
Forest over the page
Ambient sound, nothing blocked.
Look 20 feet away
Twenty seconds. Your eyes have been at this screen for two hours.
Three things today
Written this morning, still waiting.
Today you are the Learner
Every tab is a vote for who you are becoming.
Dark, without the mess
Images keep their colours. Already-dark sites are left alone.
25 on, 5 off
The rhythm runs itself; you stop watching the clock.
Warm after sunset
The page warms up in the evening instead of glowing at you.

click the toggle — this is the real interface, not a screenshot
Sometimes you do not need to be stopped. You need the room to be quieter.
How it works
Sound without a spare tab
The usual answer is a YouTube rain video you have to keep alive. This is not that.
01
Pick your sounds
Nature is free. Water, Fire, Animals, City, Places and Transport come with Pro.
02
Mix them
Several sounds at once, each at its own level, until it sounds like the place you want to be in.
03
Keep working
Zen blocks nothing. You carry on browsing with the sound underneath.
What you get

Nothing is blocked
A calmer browser, not a locked one.

No spare tab
The player is inside the extension, so nothing gets closed by accident.

Common cases
What people use ambient sound for
Ambient sound without a YouTube tab
The player lives in the extension, so nothing autoplays after it and nothing gets closed by accident.
Building your own soundscape
Layer several sounds, each at its own level, until the room sounds right.
Calm without blocking anything
Zen restricts nothing. It is the soft mode on purpose.
A minute of breathing between tasks
The same animated guide as bedtime mode, available any time.
What zen mode records
How long the mode ran, stored in your browser. Sound files are streamed, so they are fetched from our server — the request carries nothing about which page you are on.

About Zen
Is the white noise app free?
The Nature category is free: forest, birds, crickets, jungle, park. Water, fire, animals, city, places and transport come with Pro.
Can I play nature sounds free, without another tab?
That is the point of it living in the extension: free of a YouTube tab you have to keep alive, free of an ad in the middle, and free of losing the whole thing when you close the wrong window.
Does zen mode block anything?
No. It is deliberately the soft mode: sound and breathing, no restrictions. Use Block Sites when you need something firmer.
Which sounds are free?
Nature. The other six categories are part of Pro.
Can I play several sounds at once?
Yes, and each one has its own volume, so you can build a mix.
Does the sound stop if I switch tabs?
No. It runs from the extension, not from a page, so moving between tabs does not interrupt it.
The other eleven
They work together, not instead of each other
Zen is the soft one of twelve
When soft is not enough, the same extension blocks, times and tracks — free.
