Rainfor.me

Rainfor.me is about as minimal as a website can get. It plays natural rainfall and suggests pairing it with a slow-tempo song, and that is the whole thing. The page states that it has no ads or distractions and relies on donations, which is a refreshing thing to read on the modern web. When you arrive, there is a quiet screen and the sound of rain, with no mixing board and no account. It is a tiny, thoughtful corner of the internet that does one gentle thing well. If you want something calm to leave on in the background while you read, write or wind down, this does the job without asking anything of you. It is a good counterpart to busier sound sites, and a nice one to bookmark when you want rain and nothing else. Consider tossing in a donation if you find yourself using it often, since that is how it keeps going.
