And incredibly customizable to make it your own. I can’t believe it’s free!” App Store review Germany > “Absolute silence lets you hear everything, like the pencil of your neighbor, and silent noises can become loud in comparison. This app plays relaxing background noises, even several at the same time, that allow you to sink in and thus help concentrating on what you are doing.” App Store review Enjoying Blankie and want to help?
