QuietFlame is a breathing timer built around a realistic candle flame—so you can calm down, focus, or fall asleep without staring at another generic meditation app. Breathe with candlelight. Follow guided 4-7-8, box, and equal breathing while the flame expands and contracts with each inhale and exhale. Perfect for bedtime, anxiety relief, or a 5-minute reset. WHY A FLAME? Candle gazing (Trataka) gives your mind a single visual anchor. Pair it with science-backed breathing patterns and you reach calm faster than audio-only timers.
