Reset turns a few quiet minutes of slow breathing into a practice you can feel. Pick a protocol, press Begin, and follow along — the app does the counting. THREE WAYS TO BREATHE • Resonance — slow, even breathing near six breaths a minute. The daily practice. • Box — inhale, hold, exhale, hold. Steadiness on demand. • Sigh — two inhales, one long exhale. A quick reset when you're keyed up. GUIDED BY EVERY SENSE A living orb swells and empties with your breath. Haptic waves let you close your eyes and follow by touch — a crisp tap to breathe in, a long fade to breathe out. With headphones, binaural beats carry the same rhythm. MAKE IT YOURS Every phase has its own slider — inhale, exhale, holds. Balanced presets from 4.5 to 6.0 breaths a minute, timed sessions of 2, 5, or 10 minutes, and a first-launch tour that shows you around. SEE YOUR HEART RESPOND (OPTIONAL) Pair a Bluetooth heart-rate strap — Polar, or WHOOP with Broadcast Heart Rate — for live HRV biofeedback: heart rate, rMSSD, and a coherence gauge that climbs as you settle into rhythm. Capture 30-second before-and-after baselines and see each session's summary and trend. No sensor? Everything still works; the metrics simply stay blank. Reset never invents data. YOURS, PRIVATELY No ads, no tracking, no account required. Sessions stay on your device unless you choose to sign in with Apple, Google, or email and sync with the companion web app. Export your history as CSV or JSON anytime, and delete your account — and every synced session — from inside the app. Reset supports relaxation and general wellness. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition.
