Vaken is a breathing app with one job: help you take the control back. A ring grows when you inhale. Shrinks when you exhale. That's it. No voices, no timers to set, no streaks to lose. Just a ring that breathes with you. WHY VAKEN EXISTS Dan built Vaken after three tours in Afghanistan and a PTSD diagnosis in 2017. Breathing was the tool that carried him through. Vaken is the app he wished he'd had back then. Vaken is not a wellness app. It doesn't promise to cure anything. It gives you access to the oldest tool we have as humans, your own breath, in the simplest form it can be delivered.
