Yes, it's NW.js instead of Electron, but that's still an almost 100MB framework (and the >50MB sounds directory doesn't help much either). It's also closed source, though the documentation is hosted at GitHub: https://github.com/writemonkey/wm3/wiki/Documentation .

I wish it was native too, but I just meant it's not as bad as it could be on that front - 200ish MB RAM compared to some of the famous Electron examples.

The sounds are from the zen/focus software trend days, when you have minimal distractions from the interface and background noise loops built in.
