## What is Lantern River?

A paper boat drifts down a quiet river at night. Its lantern grows as you breathe in and fades as you breathe out. Follow it for a minute, or for as long as you need.

CALM · 1 min: a few slow breaths, with a longer breath out.
UNWIND · 3 min: about five and a half breaths a minute.
SLEEP · 10 min: slower still, by the Moon Pool. At the end the words fade, the screen darkens and the sound goes quiet.
DRIFT: your breath steers the light. Hold the screen as you breathe in and let go as you breathe out. Keep time with the ring of light and the lanterns on the river rise into the sky.
YOUR OWN RHYTHM: slow, square (4-4-4-4) or 4-7-8 breathing, from 1 to 10 minutes.

A GENTLE CHECK-IN
Before and after each session, pick a lantern from dim to bright to note how you feel. Your journal shows your quiet moments, your minutes and the days you came to the river, kept only on your device.

APPLE HEALTH
If you like, your sessions are added to Mindful Minutes in Apple Health. The app never reads your health data.

AND WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE PLAYING
Sail is a calm arcade game: steer between rocks and drifting logs, gather lanterns into chains, and sail a new river every day, the same one for everyone. Turn on the gentle current and bumps won't damage your boat.

• A generative soundtrack and river ambience, synthesized live
• Haptics on every breath
• No ads, no accounts, no tracking
• English and Português (Brasil)

Lantern River is designed for relaxation. It is not a medical device.
