Relaxation
CyberClock includes a relaxation module with procedural ambient sound synthesis, layer blending, breathing patterns, and mindfulness features. Since v1.3.0, the view follows a sober, modern design: calm flat surfaces and readable typography.
Ambient Soundscapes
Available Soundscapes
| Soundscape | Description |
|---|---|
| Night | Calm night ambience |
| Forest | Birds and wind |
| Outer Space | Cosmic drones |
| Ocean | Rolling waves |
| Rain | Rainfall |
| Fireplace | Crackling fire |
Audio Technology
- Web Audio API procedural synthesis (no pre-recorded loops, infinite variation)
- Real bundled audio files used as fallback
- Layers fade in and out independently with smooth fades
Playback Controls
| Control | Action |
|---|---|
| Play/Pause | Toggle playback — a true pause: audio, session timer, breathing pacer and tips freeze in place and resume exactly where they left off |
| Volume | Adjust relax volume (Settings → General → Relax Volume) |
| Soundscape cards | Click a card to play it solo |
| Ctrl+Click a card | Blend that soundscape as a layer over the playing one (Rain + Fireplace, Ocean + Space…) — layered cards get a highlight |
| Zen Flow (Shuffle) | One-click shuffled playback through all 6 tracks |
| Space | Toggle play/pause while the Relax view is active |
Auto-Stop Timer
End the session automatically after 15m, 30m, 1h or 2h — the audio fades out gently over the final minute instead of cutting off.
Breathing Patterns
| Pattern | Phases |
|---|---|
| Box (4-4-4-4) | Inhale 4s · Hold 4s · Exhale 4s · Hold 4s |
| 4-7-8 | Inhale 4s · Hold 7s · Exhale 8s |
Visual Guide
- Expanding/contracting circle synchronized with the pattern
- Phase labels (Inhale / Hold / Exhale)
- The pacer freezes during pause and resumes in place
Session Timer
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Session duration | 15m, 30m, 1h or 2h (or none) |
| Mindfulness tips | Phase-aware rotation: opening, deepening and closing tips follow the session's arc |
Mute Awareness
If the system audio is muted, the Relax view shows a quiet banner with a one-click Enable button — no more silent "why is there no sound?" mysteries. Resuming playback always restores the configured volume.
Scheduler
Schedule automatic playback in Settings → General → Auto Scheduler:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Turn the scheduler on |
| Time | When playback starts (default 22:00) |
| Repeat | Every N minutes while enabled |
| Track | Which soundscape (or random) |
| Duration | Session length in minutes (default 15) |
The tray menu shows a Pause relax / Resume action while a scheduled (or manual) session is playing.
