Download ShiftWhat is Noisli?
Noisli is a web-based ambient sound and productivity tool that helps you create personalized soundscapes by mixing high-quality background sounds. It targets people who need help focusing, studying, working remotely, sleeping, or relaxing, and supports teams that want a consistent acoustic environment.
Core features include a library of 28 mixable sounds, saveable Combos and Playlists, an advanced Timer with session statistics, an oscillation option to vary volumes over time, and a distraction-free Markdown editor that can download or save notes to cloud storage. Noisli runs in modern desktop browsers and offers a Chrome extension plus iOS and Android apps, with Free, Pro, and Business account tiers that preserve saved settings. It focuses on customizable, low-friction audio for longer focus sessions and pairs naturally with other productivity apps in Shift.
How Noisli works in Shift
Adding Noisli to Shift centralizes your ambient audio inside the same browser you use for work, so soundscapes become part of your daily workspace rather than another tab to manage. In Shift you can keep Noisli in a dedicated workspace for focus sessions, maintain multiple Noisli accounts side-by-side, and pin the app beside task managers or calendars for a one-window setup.
For timed deep work, launch a saved Combo, start Noisli’s Timer, and switch to a project workspace with your editor and task list open; Shift preserves that layout and keeps you logged in so you don’t recreate the environment each day. Arranging apps side-by-side lets you edit Markdown notes inside Noisli while referencing documents or communication tools, and recurring workspaces help you jump into the exact combination of sounds, apps, and tabs that match a routine.
