Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm thrilled to share Aura with you today. The Problem: Like many of you, I need background music to get into a "deep work" state. But keeping a YouTube or Spotify tab open was a disaster for my productivity. I'd switch tabs to change a track and instantly get distracted by video recommendations or infinite feeds. Not to mention, those heavy media tabs were eating up my laptop's RAM and battery. The Solution: I built Aura to solve my own problem. It’s a beautifully simple, distraction-free radio player that lives quietly in your Chrome toolbar. No visual clutter, no heavy tabs, no algorithms begging for your attention—just pure audio. Here is what you can do with Aura: ✅ Endless Discovery: Powered by radio-browser.info, giving you access to thousands of global stations. ✅ Built-in Scheduler: My personal favorite. You can set Aura to auto-start a focus station at 9:00 AM and switch to something upbeat at 3:00 PM. It completely automates your audio routine. ✅ Custom Organization: Save stations to folders and order them with a simple drag-and-drop. ✅ 100% Private: No accounts needed. Everything stays in your browser, and you can export/import your entire setup via a simple JSON file. The core extension is completely free to use. I’d love for you to try it out and let me know what you think. Please drop your feedback, questions, or feature requests below! Thanks for the support! 🚀
