Offline ambient soundscapes (rain, cafe, vinyl, ocean waves, white noise) paired with a minimalist Pomodoro focus timer right in your status bar!
Slip into flow state instantly without leaving VS Code, switching tabs, or streaming bandwidth.
🎧 Why Ambient Dev Pro?
Switching browser tabs or opening Spotify to search for focus playlists breaks flow and invites distraction. Moreover, streaming audio consumes bandwidth and drains laptop battery.
Ambient Dev Pro builds an acoustic sanctuary directly into VS Code:
🌧️ 100% Offline Soundscapes: Synthesized in real-time via the Web Audio API—zero MP3 downloads, zero audio files to buffer, zero network bandwidth.
⏱️ Minimalist Pomodoro Timer: Discreet status bar timer (25:00 focus / 5:00 break) with gentle end-of-session meditation chimes.
🎛️ Visual Control Center: Full dashboard with animated soundscape cards, circular timer progress ring, and master volume controls.
⌨️ Global Shortcut (Alt + Shift + P): Instantly toggle your audio soundscape and focus timer with one keystroke.
🔒 Completely Private: Zero tracking, zero telemetry, zero accounts.
