Why CALMFAX
Finite by design
A fixed set of pages with an end. Check in, catch up, and get on with your day.
You choose the sources
Pick your news feeds and your place. No algorithm deciding what you see next.
Calm on purpose
No notifications, no autoplay, no endless scroll — just a quiet teletext screen.
The Daily Quiz — page 888
A calm daily ritual: twelve questions, one ladder, one shared set for everyone. Answer with the four teletext colour buttons and see how far you climb.
Climb the ladder
Twelve questions a day, easing from easy to hard. The same set for every player.
Kind, not cruel
Get one wrong and you slip back a few rungs — never all the way. Keep going and finish.
A score worth sharing
Your grade counts only first-time answers, from Off Air to Signal Master. Build a daily streak.
New to teletext?
Never heard of Ceefax or teletext? You're not alone — it faded away before many of us were online. It was a calm, finite way to read the news, weather and sport on your TV, and it's the idea CALMFAX is built on.
Coming soon — CALMFAX Pro
In developmentCALMFAX stays calm and free at its heart. For those who want a little more on their daily page, a Pro tier is on the way. Here's a first look at what we're building.
Live pages: sport, transport & markets
Follow your teams' scores and tables, check the next departures from your station, and glance at the markets — each a quiet page, never an endless feed.
Your day, planned
A calendar page showing today and the week ahead from the calendar you already use, plus simple teletext to-do lists for the shopping and the reminders.
The Arcade
A cabinet of teletext games to finish in a few quiet minutes — a climbing quiz, a slow interactive story, and old favourites like pairs, snake and the fruit machine.
Publish your page
Turn your private page into one the whole of CALMFAX can find. Only a limited number of public pages will ever exist — once they're claimed, they're gone.
More pages of your own
Room for many more private pages — countdowns, recipes, a household noticeboard, notes to yourself — all written in authentic teletext.
Ambient mode & themes
Let CALMFAX drift across a spare screen or wall display, rotating your pages with a gentle CRT glow — with new colour themes to match the room.
Ghost in the machine
Something stirs in the signal. Stay a while, and you may notice it too. Entirely optional — and best discovered, not described.
Stay in the loop
The odd, quiet update — new pages, features and the occasional story from behind the signal. No noise, no daily nagging. Leave your email and we'll keep you posted.
