Lampsıde

Meditation you read — small light, late hours.

A quiet, text-only companion for the moments other apps don’t serve. 3 a.m. feeds. Anxious spirals. The five minutes before deep work. No voice. No subscription. No accounts.

02 · What it isn’t

Not another
meditation app.

Lampside doesn’t want you on it. It wants you off it — lighter than you came in, back to the moment that needed you. So it’s built like a small lit corner of your phone, not a content shelf.

  • No voice-over.
    Words on the page. Read them. Don’t wake the baby, the partner, the room.
  • No subscription.
    Free, forever. No trial, no upsell, no “premium content” behind a wall.
  • No accounts.
    Nothing leaves your device. No email. No password. No analytics.
  • No two sessions the same.
    Every session is reassembled from a template of anchors and pools, so the content stays fresh after years of use.
03 · The nine modes

Nine specific moments.
One quiet shape.

Each mode is named for the moment it’s built for, not the technique. Pick by feeling, not by jargon. Color marks the family — gold for light, teal for practice, lavender for night, sky for pressure.

5–8 min
Night feeding
A companion for the 3 a.m. parent. Baby-presence, gratitude, “this moment will pass.”
6–10 min
Mindfulness
Classic body scan and present-moment notice. The default when you just want to sit.
4–6 min
Stress relief
Long exhales, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, progressive muscle release. A quick reset.
8–12 min
Wind-down
Progressive relaxation, warm-light imagery. Designed to be abandoned mid-session as you fall asleep.
3–5 min
Breath patterns
Box, 4-7-8, Coherent 5-5, Resonant 6-6 — pick a rhythm and ride the animated circle.
4–6 min
Focus
Coherent breath, attention anchor, one clear intention. Before deep work.
5–7 min
Anxiety relief
4-7-8 breath, name the feeling, locate it in the body, soften with self-compassion.
5–8 min
Walking
Body-in-motion presence — feet, arms, breath-step matching, soft gaze.
4–6 min
Morning intention
Energizing breath, one-word intent, a small visualization. Before phones, before email.
04 · The whole experience

The session is text and a circle. That’s the whole thing.

You open Lampside. You pick a mode. You read a few lines of text, paced like a breath. A circle expands and contracts beside the words. A soft chime marks each step. Maybe a haptic tap, if you want it.

When the session ends, you close the app. Nothing tracks you out into the day.

  • Templates assembled fresh each time — never the same twice
  • Optional bell, optional haptic, both killable in one tap
  • Designed to be abandoned mid-session
  • Works in airplane mode — everything is on-device

05 · The principles

Built quiet.
Built free.

No voice. Ever.

Lampside doesn’t talk. No instructor, no breathy narrator, no music. The whole product is text on a page, paced like a breath. Read what’s there. Put the phone down.

No subscription. Ever.

Free, forever. No trial timer, no premium tier, no “upgrade for sleep stories.” If something feels gated, it’s a bug.

No accounts. No servers.

Nothing leaves your phone. No email collected, no password, no analytics. Sessions live on your device only — airplane mode is fine.

Fresh forever. By design.

Every session is reassembled from a small template of fixed anchors and randomized content pools. After 200 sessions of the same mode, you’ve still never seen the same text twice.

The hours other apps
won’t sit with you —
that’s why this exists.

Lampside is on Google Play, free, no sign-up. iOS coming.
