A small, honest app that helps you relax, focus and sleep. No account. No clutter. No menu maze. Stillness keeps everything on one calm screen so you can create your atmosphere in seconds and get on with the important part, actually unwinding. Mix your own atmosphere Blend up to six ambient scenes at once and control each volume separately, so your bedtime mix can feel completely different from your focus mix. Save favourite presets Store up to five custom soundscapes and bring them back with a single tap. Perfect for bedtime, reading, deep work or a quick reset in the afternoon. Gentle sleep timer Choose 15, 30, 60 or 90 minutes and let Stillness fade your mix out softly, instead of cutting your calm in half like a rude alarm clock. Nature ambiences that feel soft, useful and never busy. The app is designed for late nights and dark rooms, with a deep dark interface, subtle motion and high quality local audio that keeps playing even when your screen is locked. Thunderstorm, Rain, Indoor rain, Forest, Rainforest, Ocean, Fireplace, Café, Wind, Birds. Quiet design, practical details. Stillness Nature is made for the moments when you want less friction, not more. It launches fast, works offline and keeps your mixes available even in flight mode. - Background playback keeps your soundscape running when you lock your iPhone or switch apps. - All sounds are stored on your device, so there is no streaming dependency when you just want peace and quiet. - Designed for iOS 17 and later, with careful attention to battery use and a clean one-screen layout. Sleep, focus, reading and meditation. Some people want a soft rain blend before bed. Others need a café and fireplace mix to get through deep work without losing their mind. Stillness Nature does both, without pretending to be your life coach. - Bedtime routines with soft fades and low-light visuals - Work sessions that need calm background texture without distraction - Reading, journaling or meditation moments that benefit from gentle ambience Everything you need, right where you expect it. The interface uses a deep dark palette, soft gradients and focused controls so the app feels calm at 2 AM, not like another bright machine shouting at your face. If you want a small, calm tool that simply helps you sleep better, focus longer and unwind without subscriptions or noise, Stillness Nature is made for you.
