Choose Background Sound for Focus and Rest
Compare local listening, new cloud sounds and the two listening modes.
The short answer
Focus + Chill may suit someone who wants two simple listening modes and less playlist management while working or resting. Local tracks can be used offline. Check the access details before paying: the current description gives fresh cloud sound a 30-minute daily allowance, while an official settings image shows a different timer and a monthly price not confirmed by a current purchase table.
Start with the mode that fits the session
Choose Focus for a working session or Chill for a calmer background. The app keeps sound playing while other apps are in use. Its library and playlist controls provide a way to return to sounds you prefer, while tempo and transition settings adjust the mix.
Separate local listening from new cloud sounds
The current store description says local tracks and the two modes remain free. It describes up to 30 minutes of fresh cloud sounds each day, with previously heard and local sounds still available afterward. Premium adds unlimited fresh mixes and cloud downloads.
The official settings screenshot carries $4.99/month and an allowance timer that differs from the description. Treat these as unresolved public-source differences, not a verified current purchase offer. Check the actual purchase screen for access, price and renewal before subscribing.
Limitations & considerations
- The current description says 30 minutes of fresh cloud sounds per day; an official settings screenshot shows 118 minutes remaining. Their relationship is not established.
- The settings image shows $4.99/month, but the current public US page has no IAP table. We have not verified the installed purchase offer.
Use the linked official pages for current platform, access and purchase conditions.
