See Your Breath. Build Your Habit. Sada is the smart companion designed to modernize your respiratory wellness practice. Optimized for use with the acapella™ Choice device, Sada transforms the sound of your exhalation into actionable visual feedback — in real time. Breathing practice using the acapella™ Choice device is often invisible, making it hard to know if you're doing it right. Think of Sada as a mirror that remembers your best effort. It captures your unique breathing pattern during setup to create a personalized visual guide — your "Sweet Spot." During daily practice, Sada reflects this pattern back to you, challenging you to match the reflection and stay in your "Sweet Spot". WHY CHOOSE SADA? • VISUALIZE THE INVISIBLE Stop guessing. Watch your exhalation in real-time to ensure every breath matches your personal best. • GAMIFY YOUR PRACTICE Turn a daily routine into an engaging challenge. Your goal is simple: overlay your live breath onto your personal baseline. Match the reflection, keep your score high, and unlock achievements as you build your streak. • YOUR ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER Forget manual entry. Sada automatically logs every breath count, session duration, and daily streak — so you can focus entirely on breathing. • PROGRESS TRACKING View your history at a glance. Identify your best practice times, compare periods, and discover personalized insights. • COACHING TIPS Receive personalized guidance to optimize your breathing technique based on your practice patterns. • PDF PROGRESS REPORTS Download professional PDF reports of your practice data — your progress, your records. HOW SADA WORKS 1. CALIBRATE — On first use, Sada listens to capture your unique baseline — your personal Sweet Spot. 2. BREATHE — During practice sessions, exhale into your device while watching the adaptive visual cues. 3. MATCH — Keep the indicator within your Sweet Spot to maximize your consistency score. 4. TRACK — Review your practice history and progress, keep your streak alive, and celebrate your milestones. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your health data stays yours. Sada processes all audio analysis locally on your device. No audio recordings are ever stored, transmitted, or uploaded. The app listens only to visualize, never to record. DISCLAIMERS Sada is a General Wellness Tool intended for educational, relaxation, and habit-tracking purposes only.

USER-DEFINED METRICS: The "Sweet Spot" and "Quality Score" are relative benchmarks based on your calibration. They do not represent clinical measurements.
