We could all learn to breathe a litle better when we're at our desks

Grinding, focused, getting stuff done, but forgetting to breathe
— here is a little helper to remind you.

Breathing exercises

  • Guided patternsChoose from three proven techniques — Just Breathe, Box Breath, and 4-7-8 — or dial in your own.
  • Beautiful breathing orbA glowing orb expands and contracts with your breath. Easy to follow without thinking.
  • Settling countdownA short intro prompt plays before each session so you arrive at the breath already calm.
  • RoundsSessions repeat up to 20 times — long enough to feel the effect, short enough to fit between meetings.

Smart reminders
