Down Dog Apps

Dark Noise
Dark noise is a wide-ranged library that contains different noises that include campfires, thunder, rain, and much more. This is app is a simple yet powerful tool that helps you focus, sleep, or relax.
Dark noise was available for $3.99 in the app store, but developer Charlie Chapman has opened the TestFlight beta to everyone during the coronavirus. “ I know this is the least I can do, but maybe it’ll help people cope if they can stimulate the sound of an office space or coffee shop while stuck in their homes?” Chapman said on twitter.
