CalmScreen — a free ambient display for relaxing, meditating, waiting rooms, and sleep

CalmScreen is a free, always-on ambient screen you leave open in the background: a clock, current weather, slowly drifting calming quotes, and a choice of soft background sounds. There's nothing to download and no account to create — open the page and it runs, on a phone, tablet, laptop, or any screen with a browser.

It works equally well as a personal relaxation or meditation screen at home, a calming display in a waiting room or lobby, or something quiet to fall asleep to — the sleep timer and wake alarm below were built specifically for that last one. Trying to figure out what time to actually go to bed? Try the free sleep calculator. Curious what your actual take-home pay would be? Try the free paycheck calculator. Weighing two job offers?
