Moodist

Moodist is an open-source soundscape designed to aid concentration and relaxation: it features over 50 ambient sounds, such as rain, the sound of the sea, thunderstorms or a café atmosphere, which you can combine into your own scenes using the built-in mixer. A Pomodoro timer is built right in, and thanks to PWA support, the app also works offline – completely free of adverts, trackers or compulsory subscriptions. With Managed Moodist Hosting, you run your own instance under your control: you decide who has access and remain independent of commercial sound services, whose offerings can change at any time.

Who is Moodist suitable for?

Moodist is ideal for anyone who works better with background sounds, whether they’re working from home or in an open-plan office – from individuals and students to teams looking for a shared, ad-free alternative to commercial focus apps. Small businesses can also provide their staff with their own instance, for example as part of a wellbeing programme. And those who self-host and consistently keep their digital tools under their own control can use Moodist to add a pleasantly unobtrusive tool to their setup.

Moodist Hosting in Switzerland

With OpenHosting, your Moodist instance runs in Swiss data centres in the Zurich region and is therefore nDSG-compliant – no usage data is passed on to third parties, as is common with ad-supported sound apps. The managed service includes daily backups following the 3-2-1 principle (hourly on the Business plan), regular updates to new Moodist versions, and ongoing monitoring to ensure your soundscape is accessible at all times. If you have any questions about set-up or are switching from another service, our support team is on hand to help via email. Managed Moodist Hosting is available from CHF 9 per month with all sounds included; the Business Plan adds team scenes and the ability to upload your own sounds. This transforms the Fokus app from a browser tab into a reliable part of your daily work routine – hosted exactly where your data belongs.
