FAQ
Short, honest answers.
Do I need to sign up?
No, never. There is no account, no email field, no login button anywhere.
Where is my data stored?
In your browser, on your device, full stop. The site does not have a server-side user database. Anything we add later (history, preferences) stays local too.
Will this be free forever?
Yes for the core player. We may add optional premium soundscapes or programs later, but the core stays free.
Which pattern should I start with?
Box if unsure. It is the gentlest, the most balanced, and the easiest to learn. Or use the mood picker on the patterns page if you want it chosen for you.
Does this replace medical or mental-health care?
No. If something is wrong, talk to someone qualified. Breath practice is a small, useful tool, not a treatment.
Can I install it as an app?
Soon. A future update will package the site as a Progressive Web App, so you can add it to your home screen and use it offline.
How long should I do this for?
One minute is enough. More is more. There is no virtuous length, and there is no minimum that counts.
Why so plain?
Less is more in this space. A loud interface is the opposite of what slowing down feels like.
