Rain, From Below
Underwater rain for sleep
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Rain on a lake, heard from underwater and drawn live. Nothing is a recording. New from the same studio: Campfire, from below, a night under the real stars.
Lie five metres down in a freshwater lake and watch the rain arrive from underneath.
Every drop writes its own ring on the surface and drags a puff of air under with it. The sky fits into a bright disc above you - that is what water does to light - and around it the surface turns to mirror. A sandy bank rises toward shore with eelgrass swaying and lily pads floating overhead. A school of small fish drifts through; larger ones cruise past; now and then a turtle, an eel or a yabby wanders by.
The sound is what a hydrophone would hear: the ringing of air bubbles, shifted down to where you can hear it, thickening into a roar when the rain comes on heavy. Distant thunder in a storm, wind across the surface, a boat passing far off.
Nothing here is a recording. The scene is generated live, so ten hours run without a loop, and the fish never repeat.
WHAT YOU CAN CHANGE
• Three modes: Sleep (dim, calm, quiet), Focus, Showcase
• Time of day on a 24-hour slider, or let it follow the real clock - dawn, overcast, dusk, night with a moon that matches tonight's phase
• Rain, hail or snow; storms with lightning and thunder
• Waves from glass-calm to a rolling swell; four kinds of water
• How many fish, how much eelgrass, lily pads, creatures, birds, insects
• A timer up to ten hours or an end time, with a fade-out or a wake-into-dawn ending
• Lock-screen play/pause; keeps playing with the screen off
Made for sleeping, studying and sitting still.

Ratings & Reviews

日本語. Rain, From Below now speaks Japanese. Pick your language the first time you open the app, or change it any time in More > Language.
Rounder settings. The Scene, Look, Sound, Session and More tabs are now soft pills that match the rest of the app.
Fixes: the Pro screen and the language picker are no longer see-through, tour tips no longer cover the clock, and text fits better at the largest text size.
