No Rush
Ambient places you leave for without leaving your desk
No Rush is nature recordings arranged into places. Bamboo Grove is set in Kyoto, and it runs on Kyoto's hour and Kyoto's weather. Stalks knocking in the smallest breeze, birds only in daylight, rain only when it's raining there. So it never lands the same way twice. Pure field recordings, no synths. Spatial audio with AirPods head tracking. Offline, free, no account. Mac, iPhone, Windows, Linux, or the browser. On the Mac it lives in the menu bar.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I sit at a desk all day and I've tried a lot of ambient sound apps.
None of them ever quite satisfied me.
I'd get a sound, but I never ended up anywhere.
So I started building specific places instead. I research a real location, then put it together sound by sound until it stops sounding like a track and starts sounding like somewhere. Some of it is curated from open sound libraries, and I've started going out to record my own.
No Rush isn't a sound library. It's a place that keeps its own time.
One of the places is a bamboo grove in Kyoto. Tall stalks knocking and creaking in the smallest breeze. The birds only turn up during the day, and it only rains there when it's actually raining in Kyoto, because every place runs on its own local hour and current weather.
You open it, pick a place, and that's the whole thing.
⭐️ Lives in your menu bar on Mac. Click the icon, pick a place, close it, and it keeps playing while you work.
⭐️ Pure unprocessed nature recordings. No synths, nothing generated.
⭐️ Spatial audio, with optional head tracking through the AirPods motion sensor. No camera, off by default.
⭐️ No account, no ads. Anonymous usage stats, off with one toggle.
Dark Noise and Endel are both good at what they do, but either way you're renting a sound library. No Rush is free, and each place is one composition set in one real location. You pick a place, not a preset.
Where this is going is simple. I want every sound in the app to be one I went out and recorded myself.
Mac, Windows, Linux, and the browser, with no download needed

I'd love to hear whether a place holds up across a full work day, and which place you'd want next.
