How it works

Step 1

Pick a length

1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 minutes. Every minute is exactly five breathing cycles, so a session always ends on a full cycle.

Step 2

Pick an ambience

Ocean waves, a purring cat, rain on the window, a forest or a fireplace. Set the volume, or turn the sound off.

Step 3

Follow the circle

Inhale 4 s, hold 1 s, exhale 6 s, hold 1 s. The circle grows and shrinks with your breath; the ambience rises and falls with each phase.

Ambiences

Ocean waves

Slow surf, seamless loop.

Purring cat

A steady, warm purr.

Rain

Soft rain on window glass.

Forest

Leaves, distant birds, no traffic.

Fireplace

Crackling wood, steady flame.
