Frequently Asked Questions

What is rain ambient and how does it help?

Rain ambient is an animated visual simulation of falling rain designed to create a calming, focused atmosphere. The gentle, repetitive motion of rain has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, improve concentration, and help people fall asleep faster. It works as a visual equivalent of rain sound machines.

Can I use the rain screen for sleeping?

Yes. The rain ambient screen is designed to be calming and non-stimulating. Set it to a low intensity with slow speed, go fullscreen, and dim your monitor brightness. The gentle animation creates a soothing visual environment that many people find helpful for winding down before sleep.

How do I adjust the rain intensity?

Use the Rain Intensity slider to control the number of raindrops on screen — from a light drizzle (50 drops) to a heavy storm (400 drops). The Fall Speed slider controls how fast the drops fall. You can pause and resume the animation at any time using the Pause button.

Does the rain animation work in fullscreen?

Yes. Click the preview or the Fullscreen button to enter a fully immersive fullscreen rain experience. The animation fills your entire screen. Click anywhere to exit fullscreen.

Is the rain ambient screen good for studying?

Many people find gentle visual motion helpful for maintaining focus during long study sessions. The rain animation provides a non-distracting visual stimulus that can help prevent mind-wandering without demanding attention. Pair it with the Focus Screen tool for a complete study environment.
