Atmosphere Lite

Nature sounds can be relaxing and soothing, whether they’re made by the animals, a stream nearby, the ocean or the storm rolling over you. However, the busy life we all have stops us from escaping into the nature as often as we’d want to.

Atmosphere Lite is a program that aims to bring the surrounding world straight to your home. The app provides sounds from various types of categories, such as “Deep Forest”, “Rainy Day”, “Ocean Night”, “Thunderstorm”, “Night Stream”, “Forest Stream”, “Dawn Chorus”, “Rainforest”, “Ocean’s Edge” and “Woodland Campfire”.

Every category comes with a preset combination of sounds, but you can also modify them however you want. For example, you can enable a variety of background sounds, such as light rain, rain on roof, fountain, streams, the ocean, wind, jungle and a crackling campfire, to name a few.

The frequency of some random sounds can be adjusted, such as thunders and a bunch of animals. Thus, you can hear the sounds made by woodpeckers, owls, toads, beetles, termites, swallows, starlings and seagulls, among many more.

You can fiddle with the master volume, but also that of the background and random sounds.

Atmosphere Lite comes with a few images for each category, but you can also load any picture from your computer. Double-clicking on the thumbnail brings the app to full screen mode and lets you enjoy the sounds of nature while viewing some beautiful scenery.

The program also comes with a built-in clock that synchronizes with the computer. An alarm can be set at a user-defined time. Alternatively, the app can shut down when the alarm goes off.

Atmosphere Lite is an interesting program that can help you relax after a long day. Inexperienced users should have no problems figuring out how to customize the app’s settings, thanks to the intuitive interface.
