A Noisli alternative for ambience tied to a clear work block
Flow combines independently adjustable ambient layers with original tracks, then anchors the sound to a visible timer and a single task for work, study, or creative practice.
If background ambience is the entire requirement, Noisli may remain the neater fit. Flow is intended for people who also value original music, timing, tasks, visual scenes, and session records.

Questions
Can I mix ambient sounds separately from the music?
Yes. Ambient layers have their own controls, so they can sit beneath an original track or be used according to the session setup you prefer.
Does Flow work as a silent timer too?
Yes. Music and ambience are optional; the public browser timer can run without either.
