Frequently Asked Questions
Is Relaxing With Me free to use?
Yes, completely free, with no account, no ads, and no watermark.
Do I need to create an account?
No — everything runs in your browser and nothing is saved on our servers.
Can I share my mix with someone else?
Yes — use the share button, or just copy the URL. The exact volumes are encoded in the link.
Does the scene use real video or photos?
No — it's a single vector illustration, drawn and animated in code, which is why it loads instantly and stays sharp at any size.
Can I use it for sleep, focus, or as background ambiance?
Yes — see the dedicated Sleep, Focus and Ambiance guides for suggested mixes for each.
Does it work on phones, tablets and TVs?
Yes — the scene and controls are fully responsive; use fullscreen mode for the best experience on a larger screen.
Which sounds are there, and can I combine them?
There are six layers — fire, rain, wind, birds, thunder and a stream — and any number of them can play together, each at its own volume. Every layer also has its own page describing when it works best.
What is a curated mix, and how is it different from my own?
A curated mix is a ready-made combination at balanced levels that opens straight into the scene as a starting point, and every layer stays adjustable once it's loaded. Building your own is the same thing by hand: turn on the layers you want and set each level yourself.
Is my mix still there if I reload the page?
Yes — your levels are always encoded in the address bar, so reloading or bookmarking that link brings the same mix back. Nothing is stored on a server or in your browser, and because browsers don't allow sound to start on its own, one tap restarts playback.
What happens if I close the tab?
The sound stops and the mix isn't kept anywhere — there is no account and no server-side storage behind it. Copy the link first if you want to return to the same blend later.
Is there a mobile app?
No — there is no iOS or Android app. Relaxing With Me is a website that runs in your phone or tablet browser with nothing to install, and its controls are sized for touch.
Is there a sleep timer?
Yes — you can set it to 15, 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes, and the sound fades out gradually before pausing rather than cutting off. It measures against the clock, so it still ends on time if the tab has been sitting in the background — see the sleep guide for mixes to pair it with.
Does the screen stay awake while a mix is playing?
On browsers that support screen wake locks, yes — the screen is held awake while sound is audible and released again as soon as it stops. Where that isn't supported nothing breaks; the device simply dims on its usual schedule.
Can I change the time of day in the scene?
Yes — the scene follows your device's local time by default, with the moon at tonight's real phase, and a slider lets you scrub to any hour instead. The hour you pick travels in the share link alongside the volumes, and the about page explains what changes as the light shifts.
