Increase your productivity and focus with the help of this refreshingly simple and gorgeous ambient sound app. #Sound App #Ambient Noise #Improve Focus #Sound #Ambient #Focus
Hearing is one of the most fundamental senses. It helps us accumulate knowledge and understand our surroundings and the world, among other things. We can say that sounds are vital for everyday life. Blanket is an open-source app that only emphasizes the above statement, even though that's not its primary purpose.
It's a refreshingly simple and stylish, little ambient sound app. In short, it's an app that plays background noises, and it can be used in various ways.
You can use it to improve focus while working, to eliminate other distracting ambient sounds in order to relax, to reminiscent a fond memory, to sleep better, and the list goes on and on.
Blanket is not the first app of this sort. There are tons of valid alternatives out there: hours-long YouTube playlists with ambient sounds, and even dedicated web apps.
However, there's something so appealing when it comes to little apps that can have a big impact on our daily lives, and Blanket is definitely one of them.
For starters, it can be used on a plethora of Linux distributions, it's open-source, it's remarkably lightweight, and it allows you to play multiple background sounds at the same time.
What this means is that you can create your own custom atmosphere while you work or relax at the office and home respectively. Thanks to its precise volume control for each individual sound stream, you can create a heart-warming wall of sounds.
Besides being very flexible when it comes to OSes it works on and being free (most top-notch ambient sound apps are usually paid), Blanket goes one step beyond and even allows you to add custom sounds.
Last but not least, Blanket has a beautiful, refreshingly minimalist GUI that even boasts a dark mode. The only two downsides are as follows: it doesn't feature status bar integration, making it a lot less unobtrusive that it should be, and the relatively small collection of default sounds.
Listening to pleasant background noises is a simple life hack that can be used in a plethora of circumstances. With Blanket at "your side," you can benefit a lot while working or relaxing.
