Getting Started with RelaxColors

A practical first session: choose a color rhythm, set comfortable light, and decide whether you want sound.

One simple thing to follow

RelaxColors brings together shifting color, a steady rhythm and an optional preset tone. You choose a pattern and give yourself a quiet break. There is no score to earn, and you do not have to make your session feel a particular way. Start with one of the three free patterns before deciding whether the full library is for you.

Make the screen comfortable

Find a comfortable place and adjust your screen brightness to suit the room. Read the pattern description: it describes the palette and pacing, rather than promising a health result. Choose a rhythm you enjoy looking at. If changing light feels uncomfortable, stop. The app is for general wellness and does not replace medical care.

Choose what you hear

The preset tone belongs to the selected pattern. You can lower its volume or turn it off. Version 2.0 also introduces a separate background layer: rain, ocean, forest breeze or soft noise. These are generated and synthesized loops, rather than field recordings. Start quietly and adjust one layer at a time so that you know what each control changes.

You stay in control

During a session the controls hide to give the colors more space. Tap the screen to bring them back. You can stop whenever you want; you do not need to wait for a timer to finish. A short trial is enough to learn whether you prefer light alone, a steady tone or a background.

For your next visit

The 2.0 update adds pins that save a pattern and its sound settings together. It also adds local activity history and optional reminders. These features are part of the upcoming update while App Store review is pending. A pinned premium pattern still requires an active subscription.
