About
Places to Relax is a quiet corner of the internet: a crackling campfire, rain on a window, waves on a shore. Pick a place, press play and leave it running while you sleep, study, work or just unwind.
How it works
Each scene is a short video that loops smoothly, so it can play for hours. The sounds are real recordings of fire, rain, waves, wind, forest, birds and more, with a gentle drift in volume so they don't feel like a loop. Each scene starts with its own sound, and you can mix in others however you like.
There's a sleep timer that fades everything out, a sleep mode that turns the screen dark while the sound keeps playing, and an optional clock.
Who makes it
I made Places to Relax because I wanted somewhere calm to fall asleep to: nothing interrupting in the middle of the night, no "up next", just a crackling fire, rain on the window or waves on the shore, and a few more places like them.
It's a small independent project, made and looked after by one person. There's no company and no investors behind it.
Free to use
The site is free. If it's become part of your evenings too, you can buy me a coffee, which helps add new places to visit and keep the site free for everyone. Where the videos and recordings come from is listed on the credits page.
