Ambient Almanac
Concept, Branding, Development
Ambient Almanac is a modern iOS app inspired by historic farmer’s almanacs. We conceptualized, designed, built, and launched the app in-house.
The Inspiration
Ambient Almanac drew inspiration from traditional printed annual almanacs—but with modern weirdness, charm, and beauty. We wanted it to be as useful as an almanac, but more importantly we wanted it to be a magical visual object that encouraged reflection on time, place, and the present moment.
The Features
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.
Promo and Marketing
A minimal but effective microsite was designed and built—including a suite of marketing materials.
