Relax

Relax is a sound mixer full of relaxing and focusing sounds.

Usage

To use it you will have to clone this repository and host the files yourself.

You can do this for now:

git clone ...
cd ...
python3 -m http.server

In the future I'm hoping to have it hosted on github.io or maybe even a full application.

Contributing / Developing

If you want to be able to produce the uglified/minified sources, you'll have to install the required dependencies like this:

npm install

The Makefile allows you to minify the js and the css files, using the following command:

make minify

Or you may chose to minify the JS or the CSS files:

make minify_js
make minify_css

Why this project?

I've been listening to static-like noise for a long time to help me focus. I've gone through a smorgasbord of programs and have rarely been entirely satisfied.

Noisli was the first application that really hit the money, albeit limited in it's sound library. I was extremely disappointed to see them put up such a massive paywall.

I found this project developed by Bruno Bord and decided to fork it and develop it into a more comprehensive application dedicated to listening to sounds. I don't find a need to have an integrated editor when you can just use other editors while listening to sounds.

The goal is to have a self-contained application that anyone can just setup and use.
