When you're on edge, take one breath first. Open it and start. There's a capybara on the screen, and their belly rises and falls with each breath β€” just follow along. One minute counts. BREATHE WITH THE SCREEN Three practices, all free: β€’ Balanced Breath β€” in and out for the same length; good for a first try β€’ Longer Exhale β€” breathe out a little longer than you breathe in; the loosening is easier to feel β€’ Breath Counting β€” count from one to ten; if you drift, go back to one You can set the pace to whatever length feels comfortable. OR CLOSE YOUR EYES Turn on sound guidance and a soft cue marks every breath in and every breath out β€” no need to watch the screen. Halfway through, you can press the power button and put the screen to sleep. The practice keeps going on its own and ends with three gentle strikes. Three cue sounds to choose from: singing bowl, chime, waves. Don't want sound? Turn it off in Settings. COME WHENEVER YOU WANT TO Capy is here every day. Come back tomorrow, come back in a month β€” it's the same welcome either way. The calendar keeps the days you came. That's all it does.

The practices always stay on the free side. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Open it and use it. Every record lives on this device only, and it all works in airplane mode. THINGS YOU MEET IF YOU STAY β€’ Every finished practice earns an orange you can give to Capy β€’ Gone a long while? Capy hands over the ones they saved up β€’ Now and then you get invited over to a friend's place β€’ Places you've visited turn into polaroids in an album β€’ Capy and every friend can be named by you Capy was already fine. Just glad you came.

Lumyo is a mindfulness app designed for busy brains. Most meditation apps assume you can sit still, focus on audio, and β€œjust breathe.” Lumyo works with how your attention actually behaves: some days your mind is calm enough for audio guidance, and other days you need something visual to anchor you fast. WHAT MAKES LUMYO DIFFERENT β€’ Choose by Mood + Energy: get a session that matches how you feel right now β€’ Micro-meditations (about 2–3 minutes): easier to start, easier to finish β€’ Visual-guided grounding: for busy minds, racing thoughts, or low focus β€’ Quick picks for daily ADHD challenges: focus, anxiety, impulsive thinking, overwhelm, and more HOW IT WORKS 1) Check in: select your mood and energy 2) Choose audio guidance when you can focus, or visual grounding when you can’t 3) Finish a short session and get back to your day BUILT FOR REAL LIFE WITH ADHD Lumyo is designed to reduce friction: short sessions, clear guidance, and options that don’t punish you for having an active brain. Important: Lumyo supports mindfulness and grounding habits. It is not medical advice and is not intended to diagnose or treat any condition.
