The Stims library provides a searchable, filterable toy collection at no.toil.fyi. Every toy launches from the browser with no installation required.

​
Browsing the library

The main library interface combines search, filters, and capability badges to help you find the right toy for your session.

​
Search and filters

1

Open the library

Navigate to the homepage at no.toil.fyi. The library displays all available toys in a searchable grid.
2

Search by keyword

Use the search field to match toy titles, tags, moods, or capabilities:
Search by toy, mood, or capability
The search matches against:
  • Toy names (e.g., “Aurora Painter”, “Bubble Harmonics”)
  • Tags (e.g., “ribbons”, “particles”, “tunnel”)
  • Moods (e.g., “calming”, “energetic”, “dreamy”)
  • Capabilities (e.g., “microphone”, “motion”, “demo audio”)

Apply filters

Click Filters and sorting to refine results:
  • Mood filters: Calm, Energetic
  • Capability filters: Microphone, Motion, Demo audio, WebGPU
  • Sort options: Featured, Newest, Most immersive, A → Z

​
Capability badges

Each toy card displays badges that indicate required features:
BadgeMeaning
🎙️ MicrophoneToy responds to live microphone input
🎵 Demo audioToy includes built-in procedural audio fallback
🧭 MotionToy uses device tilt or orientation sensors
⚡ WebGPUToy requires WebGPU; may fall back to WebGL

​
Launching a toy

Click any toy card to open it in the shared toy shell (toy.html). The shell runs a capability preflight before loading the toy module.
1

Capability check

The system checks:
  • Graphics: WebGL or WebGPU availability
  • Microphone: Permission state and browser support
  • Motion: Device orientation API availability
If a required capability is missing, you’ll see fallback guidance (e.g., “Use demo audio instead”).
2

Choose audio source

Toys that support audio offer multiple input options:
  • Microphone: Live audio input from your device
  • Demo audio: Pre-mixed procedural track (no permission needed)
  • YouTube tab capture: Paste a YouTube URL to capture tab audio
See the Audio setup guide for detailed instructions.
3

Play the toy

Once audio starts, the toy begins rendering. Controls appear in the top-right corner:
  • Settings panel: Toy-specific controls (speed, color, intensity)
  • Performance panel: Quality presets and pixel ratio caps
Use the ← Back to library link in the top-left to return to the library without losing your audio session.

​
Toy discovery pages

Beyond the searchable library, Stims generates static index pages for each category:
  • All toys: /toys/ — Complete toy list with descriptions
  • Tags: /tags/ — Browse by visual style (e.g., ribbons, particles, fractal)
  • Moods: /moods/ — Browse by feeling (e.g., calming, energetic, dreamy)
  • Capabilities: /capabilities/ — Filter by input type (e.g., /capabilities/microphone/)
