Spotify for nature

Hello, hi! Happy Monday! In today’s digest, I’m covering a new mobile app that’s like Spotify but for listening to and protecting our natural world. But first…

The headlines: 

🐦 Bluesky, the X alternative has topped the charts afer the Brazl X ban.

💻 Lenovo is releasing cheaper Copilot-enabled PCs soon.

🤖 The Tesla Optimus robot debuted at the World Robot Conference.

Do you ever feel like you need a break? No matter how much you love what you do, it can wear you down over time. Whether you’re working for your dream company or building your own future unicorn, there are moments when you need to step out and breathe. It’s totally normal. 

When I feel this way, I like to turn to nature. Something about getting away from the hustle and bustle and returning to nature resets everything. It’s not always possible though and more than often I feel myself wishing I could bring nature to me. Thankfully, there’s an app for that. 

Enter Earth FM. It’s kind of like Spotify but for nature. It originally launched as a web app a few years ago where you could zoom around the globe discovering diverse sounds in different countries. Now the team are back with a dedicated mobile app. 

With the new app you can listen to over nine hundred different natural soundscapes from around the world. Want crashing waves to fall asleep? Sure. Want to feel inspired by the sounds of the rainforest? You got it. Alongside that, you can learn about the different ecosystems that make up each soundscape by zomming around the interactive map.

What’s even better is it’s business model. Earth FM is a non-profit organization that funnels money into the protection of our natural world so that those who come after us can enjoy it long into the future.
