## What is Madu?

A clock that breathes with you — and lets someone know when you need them.
Madu is a minimalist wellness clock for guided breathing and silent support. No subscriptions. No tracking. Just calm.

BREATHE THROUGH IT
All patterns free. No paywall.

4-7-8: The Sleep Switch — anxiety and sleep
Box Breathing: Tactical Calm — reset under pressure
Coherent: Deep Reset — nervous system regulation
Physiological Sigh: Instant Reset — no counting required
Custom Patterns — build and save your own rhythm

BLIND ZEN MODE
Close your eyes and follow the pulses. Haptics guide every inhale, hold, and exhale — no screen needed.

BUILD YOUR OWN
Design any sequence from scratch — your steps, your durations. Five curated templates included. Works with Blind Zen Mode.

YOUR PRACTICE, REFLECTED
See your rhythm over time — your most-used pattern, when you tend to practice, and the notes you leave after a session. Export any year as a keepsake PDF. It all stays private, on your device.

LET SOMEONE KNOW
Sometimes you don't have the words. One tap silently signals someone you trust. When they respond, your screen transforms and your phone pulses a quiet heartbeat — you feel them arrive before you even look.

A CLOCK REIMAGINED
Six themes. Gentle particles. A mood word that shifts with the hour.

PREMIUM
One-time purchase. Unlocks the Builder tab, unlimited saved patterns, and premium themes. All named patterns and Support Mode are free for everyone. No subscription, ever.

PRIVACY FIRST
No account. No ads. No tracking. Health data and practice reflections stay on your device; Support Mode uses Apple's CloudKit — your data never touches our servers.

Madu is a wellness tool, not a medical device. If you are in crisis, please contact a qualified professional or emergency services.

This is a great tool to help ground me & regulate my nervous system. I use it when I wake up, just before bed, & throughout the day. The different breathing techniques are so effective!

New: Session Insights.

A gentle look back at your practice — how often you're breathing, which pattern you reach for most, and when. After each session, you can leave a short reflection if you want to remember how it felt. Nothing is required, nothing is scored.

Export any year of your practice as a PDF whenever you'd like to keep it.

Everything stays on your device — nothing is sent anywhere.

If your Mail app isn't set up, a share sheet appears instead - pre-filled and ready to send via Gmail, Outlook, or any installed app.
