Gentle breathing practice tool
Exhale Hold Timer
A simple tap-based guide for practicing calm exhale holds after relaxed breathing. Track your rounds, hold time, recovery time, and progress — without forcing anything.
Relaxed breathing
Follow a simple preparation counter before each hold.
Tap to time
Tap once to start your exhale hold, tap again to stop.
Voice companion
Optional voice updates can announce your hold time hands-free.
Safety first: This tool is for gentle breath awareness only. Do not force breath holds.
Stop if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, uncomfortable, or short of breath. Do not use this practice
while driving, standing, in water, or during physical activity.
