How To Use Noisli

Getting Started (2 minutes)

Go to noisli.com or download the Noisli app from the App Store or Google Play.
You'll land on a simple interface with a grid of sound icons: rain, thunder, wind, ocean, coffee shop, train, white noise, and more.
Click any icon to turn that sound on. Click again to turn it off. You can mix as many sounds as you want.
Use the sliders to adjust the volume of each sound independently. Want loud rain with quiet thunder in the background? Done.
Hit the timer icon to set a focus session (25 minutes for Pomodoro, or custom). The sounds play until the timer ends, then fade out.
Save your mix as a preset so you don't have to rebuild it every time. Name it something like "Deep Work" or "Sleep."

Try these combinations - adjust volumes to taste.

Deep focus: White noise (loud) + coffee shop (medium). Blocks out distractions without being too boring.
Cozy work vibe: Rain (loud) + fireplace (medium) + thunder (quiet). Feels like you're in a cabin during a storm.
Sleep mode: Ocean waves (medium) + wind (quiet). Gentle, rhythmic, no sudden noises to wake you up.
Calm down after stress: Stream (medium) + birds (quiet) + leaves (quiet). Nature sounds are scientifically proven to lower cortisol.

Use the timer for Pomodoro sessions. Set it for 25 minutes of work, then take a 5-minute break. Noisli keeps you on track without needing another app.
Create playlists for different tasks. One mix for writing, one for coding, one for reading. Switch between them based on what you're doing.
Leave it running during meetings. If you're on a call from a noisy coffee shop or home with kids, Noisli in the background can mask distractions for you (not the other person - use headphones).

Music lovers. Noisli is ambient sounds only - no melodies, no lyrics, no beats. If you need music to focus, try Brain.fm or a lo-fi playlist instead.
Offline use (free version). The web version requires internet. If you want offline access, get the paid app or download the desktop version.
