About Relax Player
Relax Player is a quiet place for ambient music — a continuous stream of ASMR, piano and chillout that you open in the browser and simply leave playing. No account, no sign-up, nothing to configure. It is built around one idea: listening should feel effortless, and a screen can be as calming as the sound coming out of it.
Three moods, one flow. ASMR brings rain, waves, crackling fire and birdsong. Piano is slow and spacious, with room left between every note. Chill adds warm synth textures and a gentle downtempo pulse. You can move between them without the music breaking off, and the player remembers where you left off the next time you come back.
Layer your own soundscape. In the ASMR playlist you can tap the layers button and pick a second ASMR track: it plays on a loop together with the first, and a small knob sets its volume on its own. Rain with a distant thunderstorm, a stream with birdsong, a campfire under the night sky — mix them until it feels right, and save the blend for next time. It works in MY PLAYLIST and your own playlists too, as long as an ASMR track is in them.
A look for every mood. Twenty-eight colour themes recolour the whole interface and its glow — from deep space and a starry night sky with a softly shining moon to a warm sunset with drifting birds. Live weather — sun, rain, snow and a windier blizzard — can be laid over any theme, so the screen breathes along with the music.
Breathing and sleep. Five guided breathing techniques — 4-7-8, Box, Coherent, Calm and Sigh — are shown as a slowly pulsing orb (or, if you prefer, a turning mandala) that you simply follow, and you can add one rhythm of your own. There are short stretches for the moments when the body needs it first, and a TOGETHER room where everyone breathes 4-7-8 on the same second, with a shared evening session at 21:00 Prague time. A sleep timer ends the session after 15, 30 or 60 minutes, and gentle reminders can invite you to pause during the day. Most of it runs locally on your device.
Binaural beats. Put on stereo headphones and pick a wave — DELTA for deep rest, THETA for meditation or ALPHA for calm relaxation. Two slightly different pure tones, one in each ear, blend into a slow, gentle pulse. Separate knobs set the tones and the music, so you can lay your favourite track over them, and the sleep timer fades everything out when you drift off. It is a relaxation aid, not a treatment.
Your own listening. Heart any track into My Playlist, reorder it, and export or import it as a file. My Files lets you add your own audio and blend it with the SYNTHLUCIDA catalogue in named playlists. Crossfade softens the joins between tracks, History remembers what you played, and an offline download keeps the music going without a connection in the installed app. Listening also quietly earns levels and experience points, which gradually unlock track downloads.
Small worlds to wander into. A card of the day for a short moment of reflection. An interactive night sky where you can play a generative synth, layer binaural waves and nature sounds, and follow the real moon phase. SYNTHLUCIDA BLOCKS, a falling-blocks game in which every cleared line unlocks more music. And a drawing canvas where parts of your picture can be brought to life — a wing that flaps, a star that twinkles.
Relax Player is free, runs in any browser on phone or desktop, and is also available for Windows in the Microsoft Store. It grows slowly and carefully, and every part of it comes from a genuine love of ambient and electronic sound. I hope it gives you a few calm minutes — or a long, quiet evening.
