See Your Breath. Build Your Habit. Sada is the smart companion designed to modernize your respiratory wellness practice. Optimized for use with the acapellaβ„’ Choice device, Sada transforms the sound of your exhalation into actionable visual feedback β€” in real time. Breathing practice using the acapellaβ„’ 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.
