Breath Lab

Features
Read full description

Breath Lab is the pranayama app. Not a meditation app with breathing bolted on — the classical breath is the entire practice. Eighteen traditional techniques, rooted in the ancient Indian yoga tradition, with the teaching, the cautions, and the science each one deserves. BREATHWORKS INCLUDED Explore a wide library of classical techniques, including Ujjayi, Nadi Shodhana, Bhastrika, Kapalabhati, Bhramari, Anulom Vilom, Chandra Bhedana, Surya Bhedana, Sama Vritti (Box Breathing), Vishama Vritti, Sitali, Sitkari, Kumbhaka, Murcha, 4-7-8, and more. Every technique is rooted in time-tested pranayama, taught faithfully. LEARN AND DEEPEN YOUR PRACTICE Each breathwork includes: • The purpose and intention behind the technique • Historical background and traditional context • Health and wellness benefits, with references to scientific literature • Plainly stated safety cautions • Step-by-step instructions — for both personal practice and teaching PRACTICE WITH THE BREATHWORK PLAYER A fully configurable session, guided by real-time visual and audio cues: • Set your own durations for inhale, retention, exhale, and empty-lung holds • Choose how many rounds to practice • Tailor the sound — voice guidance, breathing cues, countdowns, and ambient music • The same technique scales from your first day to your fifth year JOURNEYS Follow multi-day journeys built around a single goal — sleep, focus, energy, calm, grounding. Start free with 5 Dimensions of Pranayama, a five-day introduction. TRACK HOW YOU FEEL Check in before and after every session. Breath Lab logs the shift in how you feel, so you can see what each practice actually does for you. ACHIEVEMENTS Earn achievements as you practice, reflect, and return — for completing sessions, trying new techniques, and showing up consistently. A quiet way to mark progress, never a gamified scoreboard.

About

MindScript Meditation

Features
Read full description

MindScript is a programmable meditation studio for building sound-based sessions around the way you want to feel, focus, rest, or reflect. Start with an included session or create your own. Shape a meditation over time by placing points on a visual timeline and adjusting the sound at each stage. MindScript smoothly moves between those settings as your session plays, creating an evolving experience without requiring constant interaction. Customize your session with: - Binaural beat frequency - Carrier frequency - Tone and noise balance - Multiple noise colors - Volume oscillation - Spatial width - Session duration and transitions The visual timeline makes complex sessions approachable. Build a gentle descent for sleep, a steady background for focused work, an energizing progression, or a personal meditation ritual. Save your creations locally and return to them whenever you like. MindScript is designed to stay out of the way while a session is running. Playback continues through smooth transitions, and each session ends with a gradual fade. On supported devices, background audio lets you meditate without keeping the screen active. Included features: - Ready-to-use starter sessions - Custom session creation and editing - Interactive frequency and volume graphs - Locally saved session library - Tone-only, noise-only, or combined playback - Brainwave-frequency reference guide - Light and dark appearance support Headphones are recommended for binaural beats and spatial effects. MindScript is a creative wellness tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condit ion. Do not use it while driving or during activities that require your full attention. Build a session. Press play. Let the sound follow the path you designed.
