What it does
One job, done well: it holds the rhythm so the child doesn't have to count.
Paces the breath
Box breathing and the other patterns from the series, each with its own timing — in, hold, out, hold — running at the pace the book teaches.
Taps, doesn't talk
Each phase change is a haptic pulse. No sound needed, nothing to read, nothing that announces to a classroom that something is happening.
Follows the books
The same language, the same characters, the same ten-breath structure — so a child who read the book already knows what the app is asking for.
The ten-breath cure, kept in time
Book three teaches the structured version in four stages. The app walks through them in order and marks each one on the wrist.
Acknowledge
Name the storm before trying to move it.
Release
Let the breath carry the charge back out.
Clarity
Wait for the thinking part to come back online.
Choice
Decide what happens next — on purpose this time.
Phone and watch
The watch is the point: a pacer you can feel is a pacer a child can use in the middle of a hard moment, without pulling out a phone.
iPhone & Apple Watch
Haptic phase timing on the wrist, with the phone app for setup and for practising at home.
PlannedAndroid & Wear OS
The same app, the same patterns — because half the families who need this aren't on an iPhone.
PlannedWhat it will and won't be
- Free to use — this is not a business.
- Built for children first, then for the adults sitting with them.
- Meant for schools, school counselors, and therapists to hand out without a purchase order.
- Tested slowly and carefully before it goes anywhere near a classroom.
Not released yet
It's being specified and built deliberately, starting with one person testing it on himself. If you work with children and want to know when there's something worth trying, say so.
