About Still Water

Still Water is a calm space for breathing exercises, guided meditation and sleep. Check in with your mood before and after each session, build a gentle streak, and keep a short journal of reflections.

Is Still Water free?

Yes. 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. Still Water Pro is an optional one-time upgrade ($4.99) that unlocks the full meditation and story library and 10 to 20-minute sessions.

What breathing exercises are included?

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.

Who narrates the meditations and sleep stories?

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.

Can I mix my own background sounds?

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.

Does Still Water play white noise and brown noise for sleep?

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.

Is there a plain meditation timer?

Yes. The silent timer is unguided, with bells to begin and end and optional interval bells along the way.

Is my data private?

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.

About Sleep timer

Still Water's sleep timer turns its sounds off for you. Pick 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes (free), or 90 minutes and until morning with Still Water Pro. Rather than cutting off, the sound fades gently over the last few minutes, so the silence doesn't wake you. The timer runs on your browser's audio clock, so it keeps time even when other timers in a background tab are slowed down. It times Still Water's own sounds only; it can't stop music in other apps.

How to use it

  1. Press Play in the card above. Browsers only start sound after a tap, so nothing plays until you do.
  2. Set the Volume, or tap other tiles to mix in more sounds. Each tile has its own slider.
  3. The sleep timer is already set to 30 minutes: pick another length under Sleep timer if you like. When it ends, the sound fades out gently.
  4. Like the mix? Save mix keeps it on this device, and Share copies a link to it.

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.

Good for

  • Falling asleep to rain, noise or a fan without it playing all night
  • Naps: 20 or 30 minutes of sound, then quiet
  • Winding down after a meditation or sleep story
  • Saving battery on a phone left on the bedside table

Questions

How long should a sleep timer be?

Long enough to fall asleep: 30 to 45 minutes suits most people. If you often wake when it stops, try 60 minutes.

Can it stop Spotify or other apps?

No, it times Still Water's own sounds. On iPhone, the Clock app's timer has a When Timer Ends option, Stop Playing, which stops other audio.

Does the sound stop suddenly?

No. It fades out gently over the last few minutes of the timer, then stops.
