What you get
Give yourself a calmer workspace with sound, timed breaks, and fewer distractions.
Nami gives you a background of ambient sound while you work, plus a way to structure your session and reduce visual distractions. You can choose Relax, Deep Focus, or Get Shit Done to match the kind of session you want. Each mode uses frequencies selected with research on concentration and calm in mind.
If you prefer a setting rather than a focus mode, you can work against a rainy forest, an open-plan office, or a medieval tavern. Sounds move, fade, and recur at varying intervals, so you hear a changing environment rather than a fixed loop.
You can also set your total working time and let the Pomodoro timer alternate focus blocks with breaks, without restarting it after each interval. When other windows pull your attention away, Haze Mode dims them so your current work stands out. You can turn it off when you need the rest of your screen again.

From the developer
Nami is a native Mac app that turns ambient sound into a tool for focus. Drop into a Focus Mode tuned to research-backed frequencies, or let a Pomodoro timer walk you through a full work session. When you need to shut out visual noise too, Haze Mode dims every other window so only your work stays in view.Read the full description
