Defonic

What Defonic actually is

Around two dozen loops sit as icons on a dark grid: waves, rain, forest, café, train, library, fireplace and a few stranger ones such as spaceship hum. Clicking an icon adds it to the mix at an adjustable level, and most people settle on three or four running together.

Why it is worth your time

The train carriage and library loops are unusually well recorded, and layering the two produces a convincing studying-on-a-long-journey room that no preset app offers.
