RelaxAbout RelaxQuickly
A small collection of interactive tools and guides for stress, anxiety, emotions, and sleep — free to use, no signup required.
Why this site exists
Most relaxation resources online sit behind paywalls, ask for an email, or bury simple techniques under apps and sign-up flows. RelaxQuickly is the opposite of that: every tool is a single page, opens instantly, and works without an account. The goal is to make the basics of stress relief, grounding, breathing, and sleep regulation as friction-free as possible — the kind of thing you can pull up on a phone in a stressful moment without thinking.
Who's behind it
RelaxQuickly is built and maintained by Vladimir, a software developer with a personal interest in mental wellness. I'm not a psychologist, therapist, or clinician. The content on this site is researched from clinical sources — peer-reviewed papers, published clinical instruments (like the PHQ-9), and material from medical institutions — but it is not authored or reviewed by mental health professionals. Everything here is educational; it is not medical advice.
What this site is not
RelaxQuickly is not a clinical service. It does not:
- Diagnose any mental-health condition
- Replace therapy, counselling, or medical treatment
- Provide personalised medical advice
- Store or share what you enter into the tools — your slider values, test answers, and ratings run entirely in your browser and aren't sent to us
The screening tests on the site (PHQ-9 depression test, daytime sleepiness test, stress self-assessment) are based on widely-used clinical instruments, but a self-administered score is not a diagnosis. If the result of a test concerns you, please speak with a doctor or a licensed mental-health professional. If you're in crisis, the crisis-support resources on the depression test page list phone and text lines for the US and a directory for other countries.
How content is researched
Each tool and guide is built from a mix of:
- Open clinical instruments in the public domain (e.g. PHQ-9, Epworth Sleepiness Scale concept) reproduced according to the original authors' permissions
- Peer-reviewed literature on breathing techniques, vagal tone, sleep regulation, progressive muscle relaxation, and related topics
- Authoritative secondary sources — material from established medical and psychological organisations, recognised textbooks, and clinician-authored books
Where a technique has a known origin or developer (for example, the 4-7-8 breath pattern by Andrew Weil, or the butterfly hug technique by Lucina Artigas), the source is named on the corresponding tool page. Trademarked therapies (such as EMDR) are referenced as the inspiration for related self-help techniques rather than reproduced.
How content is updated
Content is updated periodically — when new tools are added, when the source material warrants a correction, or when something is clearly out of date. There is no fixed schedule. Long stretches without updates are possible. If you spot something that needs correcting, a quick email is the best way to flag it.
Privacy
RelaxQuickly does not require an account, never asks for an email or any personal details, and we don't run our own database of users. The answers you enter into the tools — slider values, test responses, anxiety ratings — stay in your browser and disappear when you reload the page; we never see them. Like most websites, the pages do load third-party services (analytics, and ads where present), which may collect their own technical data such as IP address or device information. For the full picture see the Privacy Policy.
