Brown noise is generated locally on your Mac. No need to open Spotify and fall down a playlist rabbit hole. No waiting for Wi-Fi to connect. Open your laptop and start focusing immediately.
Deeper than white noise. Smoother than pink. Brown noise masks distractions and helps you sink into flow state.
Lives in your menu bar. No dock icon, no window clutter. Start a session in two clicks.
30, 60, 90, or 120 minute presets. Or set a custom duration in 5-minute increments up to 2 hours.
Life interrupts. Pause your timer and brown noise, then pick up right where you left off.
An audio alert lets you know when your session is complete. Brown noise stops automatically.
Set it and forget it. Deep Timer can start automatically when you boot your Mac.
Open Terminal, paste the command, and start your first deep work session in seconds.
