A quiet room you can carry.
Sunholm turns a few honest breaths into a place. The longer you practice, the more of it you see.
Nine breathing techniques
Box Breathing, Coherence 5.5, Cyclic Sighing, 4-7-8, and more, each with calm, guided pacing.
Peace in 16 seconds
A single guided cyclic sigh can settle your nervous system in seconds. Sunholm keeps it one tap away.
Twelve hand-drawn worlds
Calm places drawn by hand that quietly unfold as you keep returning to your breath.
A companion who cares
A tea-cup companion keeps you gentle company. It never nags, never gamifies, never guilts you back.
Made for sleep
Slow wind-down sessions to help you let the day go and drift off.
Offline and private
Everything runs on your iPhone. No tracking, no analytics, no account, no connection required.
Calm, drawn by hand.
