Ambient sessions for focused work 🌧️

About

Solo developer building DeepPane — an ambient session composer for focused work. I got tired of juggling YouTube ambient videos, Spotify, and Pomodoro timers just to start a work session. So I built one layer that holds it all together: background scene, music queue, session timer, saved and ready for tomorrow. I care about calm software, deep work, and tools that stay out of your way. Currently: shipping DeepPane 🌧️ Stack: Chrome MV3 · Cloudflare Workers · D1 · R2

Most ambient tools are players.

DeepPane is a session composer.

Here's the difference:

A player asks: what do you want to play?
