Retro FM - white noise 4+

RetroFM is a white noise app styled as a vintage radio, offering a user experience reminiscent of operating an actual radio rather than an internet-style interface. It allows you to play a variety of high-quality natural ambient white noises, such as rain, campfire crackles, ocean waves, deep forest sounds, and summer nights, cat purring, and more, using controls and sensations closer to those of a real radio. It also supports the selection of multiple retro player skin styles.

The design inspiration behind RetroFM harks back to my first MP3 player. It was simple, with only a few buttons and space for just a few dozen songs. However, the physical feedback and sense of ritual when pressing the physical play button are unforgettable. Even though smartphones now hold almost limitless music, I never rediscovered that feeling.

Thus, when designing RetroFM, we aimed to emulate and replicate the sensory experiences of the physical world:

Touch: Simulating the tactile button press with varying degrees of vibration feedback.
Sound: Delicate button sound effects, combined with touch vibrations, recreate the physical sensation of pressing a button.
Visual: Neon indicator light design, along with dashboard pointers, providing direct and distinct feedback.
We hope RetroFM will bring you a better experience of relaxation, rejuvenation, and focus.

About Us
We are individuals with years of experience in internet product design. In our professional lives, we've been chasing numbers, growth, and commercial results. Engrossed in meeting one demand after another, we've been like assembly line workers, constantly delivering highly repetitive "drafts," gradually forgetting the initial joy and purpose of choosing product design — to build things that are fun, lovable, and aesthetically pleasing. Hence, in our spare time, we decided to create products that we love, design-driven and capable of bringing joy, just like RetroFM you see now. In the future, we'll continue to create works with this kind of initial intent.
