Relaxation music for the space between working and sleeping
Most relaxation playlists are really just quiet focus music, or sleep music played during the day. Relax mode is tuned on its own terms: the filter opens further than Sleep, the bells land more often than Focus, and the reverb sits somewhere between the two. It is built for the hour after work and before bed, not for masking either of those states.
More movement than sleep music, less structure than focus music
The bell pattern in Relax mode fires roughly every twenty to forty seconds, closer together than the once-a-minute pacing of Sleep and looser than the tight, task-oriented spacing of Focus. The chord progression cycles through five voicings instead of four, each one a little brighter than the last, so a half-hour session actually moves somewhere instead of holding one mood the whole time.
Wide, not deep
Stereo width is set higher here than in Focus, close to what Sleep uses, but the reverb tail is shorter: about eight seconds of decay against Sleep's nine and Deep Sleep's twelve. The pad has room to breathe without turning into the kind of dense, enveloping wash you would want right before falling asleep. It reads as spacious rather than heavy.
Tune it to what "relaxed" means for you tonight
Every mode runs from a Sound DNA recipe you can open and adjust while it plays:
- Winding down after screens. Raise the bells and lengthen the reverb so there is more to actually listen to, less to just sit under.
- Still a bit wired. Bring the drone up and the bells down, closer to Focus's steadier pacing without its brighter filter.
- A fire, rain or open window. Layer in crackle, rain or wind at whatever level fills the room without becoming the main event.
- Almost asleep already. Pull the bells toward zero and lean on the pad and drone alone. If that is where you consistently end up, Sleep mode is built for exactly that instead.
Save a mix that works and it is there next time, or start from something already tuned: the Relax sounds library has published recipes you can play in the browser with one tap.
Same engine, no download
StillTune stores the score, not the audio, so a Relax session keeps generating new phrases for as long as you leave it running, with nothing to buffer or re-download. Playback continues with the screen off and answers Lock Screen controls, and the sleep timer will fade it out if the evening runs later than planned.
