About
NamiZen is the contraction timer designed for the most important moments of labour. Not as a data dashboard, but as a calm companion.
Most contraction apps show you numbers when you need support. NamiZen is different. When a contraction begins, the screen transforms into a full-screen breathing guide. Helping you breathe through each one using a proven 4-2-6 technique. When it passes, your data is waiting.
Simple to use. Exactly when you need it.
Tap Begin when a contraction starts. Tap Done when it ends. That's it. No setup, no account, no learning curve. Open the app and it's ready.
Breathing support during every contraction
When a contraction starts, NamiZen guides you through a calming 4-2-6 breathing pattern. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 2, exhale slowly for 6. Used in mindfulness and pain management, the extended exhale activates your body's natural calming response. No numbers, no data, just calm.

The 5-1-1 rule, explained clearly
