Why I Built Sukoon, a Free and Ad-Free App for Sleep and Focus

I wanted something simple. Something calm.
An app that would let me slow down without asking me to subscribe, or sit through ads when my brain was already tired.

Something I could open while working late.
While studying.
While trying to fall asleep.
Or while sitting quietly with my thoughts.

That’s how Sukoon began.

Not as a startup idea.
Not as a product roadmap.
Just as a personal need.

What Sukoon Is

Sukoon is a calm, minimal app built to help you sleep better, focus deeply, and work without distractions.

It combines soothing ambient sounds with simple productivity and mindfulness tools, without ads, clutter, or noise.

No notifications begging for attention.
No pressure.

Whether you’re falling asleep, studying, meditating, or entering a deep work session, Sukoon helps you slow down, stay present, and feel at ease.

That’s it.

Calming Ambient Sounds, Mixed Your Way

At the heart of Sukoon are ambient sounds.

Not hundreds of random options.
Just sounds that actually feel calming.

You can choose and mix from over 21 carefully selected sounds, including:

• Rain, calming rain, heavy rain
• Thunder and thunderstorm
• Ocean waves and sea
• Rain on a tent, rain on an umbrella
• Campfire and forest wind
• Stream and waterfall
• Birds and crickets
• White noise and train sounds
• Meditation bowl and relaxing piano
• Lo-fi beats and flute

Each sound has individual volume control, so you can create a space that feels right for you.

Some days, I need heavy rain and thunder.
Some nights, ocean waves and a distant train.
Some mornings, birds, wind, and a little piano.

Sukoon doesn’t decide that for you.
You do.

Quick Mix Presets for One-Tap Calm

Sometimes you don’t want to think.
You just want to feel okay.

That’s why Sukoon includes Quick Mix presets, designed for different moods and moments:

• Stormy Night
• Midnight Rain
• Ocean Calm
• Streamside Cabin
• Cozy Camping
• Gentle Work
• Falling Asleep

Each preset automatically balances multiple sounds so you don’t have to.

You can also create your own sound presets and even share your calm mixes with friends.

Because calm feels better when shared quietly.

Breathing and Meditation, Without Pressure

Sukoon also includes gentle mindfulness tools.
Not long sessions.
Not complicated routines.

Just enough to help you pause.

Breathe

A 1-minute guided breathing exercise to reset your nervous system.
Perfect between meetings. Before sleep. Or when anxiety sneaks in.

Meditate

A short guided meditation, under 4 minutes, available in both male and female voices.
No spiritual pressure. No commitment. Just presence.

These are not meant to change your life.
They’re meant to make the moment easier.

Focus and Time Management, Without Burnout

Productivity doesn’t need to feel aggressive.

Sukoon includes simple tools to help you focus, without turning work into a competition:

• Sleep Timer, sounds fade out gently
• Pomodoro Timer, simple focus and break cycles
• Stopwatch, track deep work or study sessions
• Simple to-do list, stay focused on what matters

Ideal for studying, writing, coding, reading, or quiet work sessions.

No streaks.
No guilt.
No productivity shame.

Just tools that respect your energy.
