What is it?
Ambie is a Windows desktop app built with C#, WinUI and UWP that plays white noise and nature sounds such as rain and beach waves. It is aimed at people who want background sound to concentrate while working or studying, or to sleep and unwind.
Users can mix several sounds together and save their own custom mixes. The app also includes focus timers and a simple notepad, so the sound player, timer and notes sit in one window.
The Microsoft Store version gives access to an online catalogue of additional sounds that can be downloaded to extend the built-in library. The source code is MIT-licensed and includes instructions for adding translations through the Multilingual App Toolkit.
