Android Apps that Help You Relax and Concentrate



For most people, the day is composed of meetings, deadlines, chores, and what not. This everyday routine can become very stressful and may affect ones effectiveness and productivity. In this crazy world, there are moments when you just want to sit back and relax; gather your thoughts and be inspired.

For some, having the right kind of sound can relax their mind, find their center, help them focus, zone out distractions, and get their adrenaline pumping to finish what needs to be done.

Ambient sounds can add a level of comfort to the environment to help you relax and concentrate. Whether it is listening to the rain while you sleep, having a crackling fire while reading a book, or listening to the sound of waves crashing to the shore while you work. But since not everyone is fortunate enough to live near the beach, or can't control the weather, we can always rely on artificial means to recreate these sounds.

Here are some Android apps that provide ambient sounds to help you relax and concentrate.

Ambiance


Ambiance is said to be an environment enhancer app that helps you create the perfect ambient environment for you to relax and focus by playing different sounds in the background. It contains over 2500 exclusive ambient sounds for free and has over 8 million sound downloads.
