Every breathing exercise, four meditations including Anxiety SOS, a sleep story, the white noise and sleep sounds mixer (white, pink and brown noise, rain, ocean, fan, wind, fire and birdsong) and the silent timer are free, with no ads and no account.

Box breathing, 4-7-8, coherent breathing, the physiological sigh and Relax 4-6. A glowing orb grows as you breathe in and softens as you breathe out, with optional voice cues.
Sessions and stories are original scripts read by your device's built-in voice, over a soundscape you choose. With Still Water Pro, many meditations also come in 10, 15 and 20-minute versions.
Yes. The Sounds tab mixes white, pink and brown noise, rain, ocean, fan, wind, fire and birdsong, all made live in your browser. Save your mixes, play one under a meditation, and set a sleep timer that fades everything out gently. Still Water Pro adds a stream, distant thunder, crickets, a heartbeat, a soft hum and a night train, unlimited saved mixes and 90-minute and until-morning timers.
Yes. White, pink and brown noise are free, along with rain, ocean waves and a fan. Each is generated live in your browser and loops without a gap, and the sleep timer (15 to 60 minutes free) fades it out gently.
Yes. The silent timer is unguided, with bells to begin and end and optional interval bells along the way.
Yes. Your mood check-ins, streaks, sessions and journal stay on this device with no account. You can back them up to a file and restore them later.
Some people find it easier to concentrate with a steady, low sound in the background: it covers voices, typing and other sudden noises that pull your attention. Brown noise suits this well because it is deep and has no hiss, so it fades into the background after a few minutes. Research on noise and concentration is limited and mixed, so treat it as something to try, not a treatment. If it helps you, use it; if silence works better, that is fine too.
Keep this tab open while it plays. iPhone and iPad may pause web audio when the screen locks: tap the moon for Sleep mode, a dim, near-black screen that keeps the sound going, and keep the phone on charge.
This page makes no medical claims. Research on background noise and attention is limited and mixed. Some people find a steady sound helps them ignore distractions; if you have ADHD or concerns about focus, talk to a clinician.
Try both. Brown is deeper and darker; pink is a little brighter. The Study noise mix plays pink and brown together.
Just loud enough to cover the distraction, and comfortable for hours. With headphones, keep the volume moderate to protect your hearing.
Every sound is free to try in the full Still Water app, along with breathing exercises, guided meditations and sleep stories. About Still Water lists everything that is free and what Pro adds.
