Help Center — Pomodoro Timer & Ambient Sounds

What is jlight?

jlight combines ambient sounds (white noise and scene-based audio) with a Pomodoro-style focus timer and simple focus statistics. It is designed to help you start sessions quickly, stay on rhythm with work and breaks, and review your progress over time.

Requirements

iOS compatible with your App Store listing
Notifications (recommended): used to alert you when a focus or break session ends (if enabled in system settings and in-app settings)
Background audio (when playing ambient audio): standard iOS audio behavior may apply depending on your settings

Getting started

1) Pick a sound on Ambient

Browse categories (for example: study, nature, meditation, everyday ambience). Tap a track to select it. Use Play / Pause, adjust volume, and optionally set a sleep timer if you use sounds while resting.

2) Start focus on Pomodoro

Tap Start focus to begin a focus countdown. You can pause, continue, or reset the timer depending on the current state.

3) Review progress on Stats

See summaries for today, this week, and this month, plus charts when data is available.

4) Adjust preferences in Settings

Customize alerts (sound/vibration), optional auto-play behavior related to focus sessions (if available in your version), appearance/theme, and language.
