Coffitivity – Recreate the ambient sounds of a cafe

Every Friday I try to share one of my favourite finds of the week – a web-site, tool or app that has impressed me.

My Friday Favourite this week is Coffitivity – recreate the ambient sounds of a cafe to boost your creativity and help you work better.

Recreate the ambient sounds of a cafe

For anyone who regularly works on the go — on trains, in airports and co-working spaces — or anyone who works at home a lot, you can be thrown by either too much distracting noise, or no noise at all!

Coffitivity is a web site and app that recreates the ambient sounds of a cafe to boost your creativity and help you work better. They provide coffee shop sounds that are supported by science and backed by a community of creative people using the app every day.

The Science

According to a peer-reviewed study out of the University of Chicago that Coffitivity provide on their web site “A moderate level of ambient noise is conducive to creative cognition.” In short, being a little bit distracted helps you!

Conclusion

Coffitivity is available via web site, iOS and Android app.

Thanks to Dan Virgillito for the recommendation!
