Description
Ambient Almanac draws inspiration from traditional printed annual almanacs but with modern weirdness and charm. It’s useful, but more importantly it is just meant to be a beautiful visual object that encourages reflection on time, place, and the present moment.
Through ambient moodscapes and gentle sounds—including real field recordings from nature—the app does its best to evoke the essence of a place. We wanted users of the app to be able to drop in on cities across the globe and immediately feel a connection.

• Live weather visualized as drifting light, clouds, rain, and snow
