How it works
Press and hold. Let go.
A small light walks a mountain ridge, and the ridge is your breath. Press and hold the screen while you breathe in and while you hold. Let go to breathe out. Breathland keeps count of how closely you keep in step.
- Up means breathe in. Press and hold.
- Flat means hold. Keep holding.
- Down means breathe out. Let go.
Best with sound on and earphones in. Your phone can follow along too, with a soft wave of vibration that quickens as you breathe in and slows as you breathe out.
Ten lands
Each one hand-crafted.
Every land has its own scenery, weather, music and breathing pattern. You start in Dusk Range, and breathing opens the rest. A ridge is one full breath: at about three minutes a day, a new land opens every week or so, and all ten within about two months.

Thirteen patterns
Every breath has a shape.
Each land suggests a pattern, and you can walk any open land with any of them. Here is each one over the same twenty seconds.
Box
4 · 4 · 4 · 4 Focus
Four even sides. Steadies attention before work or a hard conversation.
Deep box
5 · 5 · 5 · 5 Grounding
A slower box for when you have a little more time.
4-7-8
4 · 7 · 8 Sleep
A long hold and a longer exhale. Best in bed with the lights off.
Coherent
5.5 · 5.5 Balance
About five and a half breaths a minute, even in and out.
Triangle
4 · 4 · 4 Clarity
In, hold, out, and straight into the next breath.
Double sigh
2 · 1 · 6 Reset
Two inhales through the nose, then one long sigh out. The quickest way to come down.
Long exhale
4 · 6 Calm
Breathe out for longer than you breathe in to slow everything down.
Unwind
4 · 2 · 6 Ease
A short pause at the top, then a slow release.
Humming exhale
4 · 8 Soothe
Hum quietly as you breathe out. The ridge falls slowly.
Resonance
6 · 6 Recovery
Five slow, wide breaths a minute.
Equal
4 · 4 Steady
Simple and even. A good place to start.
Wake
4 · 4 · 2 Energy
A long climb, a pause at the top, then a fast drop. For mornings and afternoon slumps.
Power
3 · 3 Alert
Quick, full breaths with no pauses. Steep ridges, close together.
The deal
Nothing in the way.
- Paid only. No ads, ever.
- No tracking. Nothing sold.
- Music made live as you breathe, so it never repeats.
- Delete your account and everything in it, any time.
One honest thing. Breathland is a relaxation aid, not medical treatment. If you feel dizzy or short of breath, stop and breathe normally.
Breathland
A calm place to go.
Three minutes a day. That's all it takes.
