## What is Ma?

Let the drum guide your breath. No subscription. No noise.

Ma is a minimalist app for breathwork and meditation, built around the Japanese concept of ma: the art of meaningful pause. 

Inhale, hold, exhale, guided by gentle sound cues. No counting, no experience needed. Set a timer, choose your practice, find the rhythm. Or combine breathwork and meditation into one session.

- Breathwork: choose your rhythm and let gentle sound cues guide each inhale, hold, and exhale. Set your timer and breathe.
- Meditation: sit in silence or with ambient sound. Set your own timer and choose guided or unguided sessions.

This first edition includes box breathing, coherent breathing, 4-7-8, tummo (the breathing tradition behind Wim Hof), and bhramari. Each technique serves a different purpose: calming the nervous system, improving sleep, building focus, or accessing deeper states. Guided meditations include open awareness and body scan.

In a world that never stops, Ma gives you space to slow down.
