onsen – rain sounds and white noise

onsen is a small Python command line utility that brings a relaxing hot-springs theme to the terminal.

It uses pygame for audio playback and Rich for its text interface, letting you launch looping ambient water sounds from the shell and control playback with simple built-in commands.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Provides an interactive text interface built with Rich.
  • Includes commands to start the bath ambience, stop playback, and quit the program.
  • Lets you adjust playback volume on a scale from 1 to 100.
  • Bundles audio assets for looping water ambience plus welcome and bell sound effects.
  • Cross-platform support – runs under Linux and macOS.
