A sound engine that turns live weather into ambient audio — rain, wind, thunder, aurora — so you can sleep, focus, or disappear into the sky.

How it works
Three steps. No forecast-reading required.
/ 01
Read the sky
Nimbus pulls live conditions — rain, wind, pressure — for wherever you are, or wherever you wish you were.
/ 02
Score the sound
The engine maps each condition to a layer of audio, mixed to a target loudness so nothing ever startles.
/ 03
Drift off
Sleep, focus, or just listen. The forecast keeps scoring, and the sound keeps shifting with it.
02
Everything but the noise
Hear more, try less.
Live weather engine
Rain, wind, thunder, and aurora, scored from real conditions in real time.
Zero-startle mixing
Every sound is compressed to a gentle ceiling — no sudden claps, ever.
Sleep & focus modes
Timed fades and wind-down curves that ease you into the night.
Forecast ahead
See what's coming and hear it change as the front rolls in.
Community mixes
Remix and share soundscapes built by listeners around the world.
Anywhere on earth
Set your sound to Reykjavík, Kyoto, or your own back porch.

The sky, up close
Shot where the weather actually happens.
04
Hear the front
Every condition has a frequency.
Rain is broad and low. Wind is a moving mid. Thunder is a slow sub-bass that rolls in minutes early. Nimbus scores each one into a mix that never startles.

From the desk of Mira Okafor
Most weather apps show you a number. Nimbus plays you the sky.
I built the first version in a rented room in Reykjavík, with a microphone taped to the window and a forecast that said rain for the next eleven days. I recorded all of it.
What I learned: a number — 6°C, 88%, rain — tells you how to dress. A sound tells you how the day feels. There's a world between them, and that's where nimbus lives.
So here's the invitation: pick a place you've never been. Close your eyes. Let it rain there for twenty minutes. That's the whole product.

"I've tried every white-noise app. Nimbus is the only one that sounds like a real place, not a machine."

"The storm mode is unreal. I hear the rain build, the thunder roll in, and my brain just… lets go."

Questions, answered.
How does nimbus turn weather into sound?+
Each condition maps to a layer — rain to texture, wind to movement, pressure to low-frequency weight. The forecast drives the mix in real time.
Does it work offline?+
Yes. The soundscapes are stored locally, so a saved mix keeps playing even with no signal. Live forecast scoring needs a connection.
Is it just for sleep?+
No. Sleep, focus, meditation, and plain listening. The same engine, different modes.
Is it free?+
Yes — the core soundscapes and live engine are free during beta and stay free after launch.
Do you record my microphone?+
Never. Nimbus plays sound. It doesn't listen. No mic access, no recording, ever.
Can I share a mix?+
Yes — build a stack, save it, and share it with anyone. The community library is open.
The sky is already playing.
