The Void
Type anything at all and watch it drift upward and dissolve. Nothing is stored, nothing is sent, nothing can be recovered.
How to get the most from it
The Void sits in Zen Visuals under Unwind, filed as a minute.
- Give it one round. There is nothing to finish and nothing lost by leaving.
- It works on a phone or a desktop, so open it on whatever is nearest.
- It works with the sound off, so it is fine on a train or in a quiet office.
- No account needed — you can start without signing up.
- Go in expecting something calming and weird.
About this category: Slow, quiet, low-stimulation visuals. Nothing here flashes, autoplays loudly or asks for anything. Background-tab material.
Good for
- A one-round break between tasks
- Winding down when your head is busy
- Seeing the internet at its least explicable
- A quiet break at your desk
- Killing time on your phone
- Trying it with zero commitment
