Made to be followed, not watched

A ring for the round, an orb that breathes with you, and a drawing of which nostril or how to hold your lips. Tones run in the background, with rain, a café or a summer night underneath.

What's inside

25 techniques

Box breathing, the physiological sigh, 4-7-8, coherent breathing, alternate-nostril breathing, humming bee breath and more, grouped by how you want to feel.

Eyes closed, wrist down

Every phase has its own haptic and tone. On Apple Watch, a session keeps going with your wrist lowered.

Tones and scenes

Isochronic, monaural and binaural tones for deep rest, meditation, calm focus and alertness, over real field recordings.

Gentle goals

Daily reminders you choose, a ring for what's done today, and a week at a glance.
