About SoftlyStill
A tiny counterpoint to the meditation industry.
SoftlyStill is a small website that offers guided meditations, breathing exercises and sleep stories. It is free, it has no accounts, and it tracks nothing about you.
We started from a simple observation: the tools sold to help people calm down are built with the same engines that keep people agitated — streaks, notifications, subscriptions. We wanted to make the opposite: a quiet page that asks nothing of you and gives you somewhere to sit for a few minutes.
The site is built by hand, sentence by sentence. There are no templates for the writing and no dark patterns in the design. New practices are added a little at a time, the way a practice is actually kept.
SoftlyStill is not medical advice and never will be. If you are struggling, please also talk to a professional.
