Zenrain – Visual meditation with falling Buddhist sutras and real-time soundscapes

Summary: Zenrain creates a visual meditation by displaying calligraphic characters from 10 Mahayana sutras falling in three parallax layers, accompanied by nine real-time synthesized soundscapes. It includes a daily practice mode with verse, breathing, timed sitting, and dedication, tracking progress with a growing Bodhi tree. The app runs fully offline, requires no account, and features dark mode only.

What it does

Zenrain animates sutra characters falling like rain across layered depths while generating ambient sounds such as temple bells and ocean waves in real time. It guides users through a structured daily meditation sequence and visually represents streaks with a Bodhi tree.

Who it's for

It is designed for Buddhist practitioners and meditators seeking a visual and auditory aid for silent meditation without guided audio.

Why it matters

Zenrain offers a distraction-free, offline tool to support meditation by combining visual sutra flow and synthesized soundscapes, helping users settle their minds before practice.
