Breathe in as the circle grows. Breathe out as it shrinks. Fuutto brings breathing, sleep sounds, meditation, and yoga together in one app for taking a break. BREATHING GUIDE (FREE) - Follow a circle that expands and contracts: in, hold, out - Choose from several rhythms, such as 4-7-8, box, and slow - No sound or voice needed; it works with your eyes alone - After each session, jot an optional note on how it felt, and look back at it from the calendar - See your sessions on a monthly calendar and by day of the week SLEEP SOUNDS (22 AMBIENT SOUNDS) - Rain, waves, brown noise and more. 3 sounds are free - Layer up to 5 sounds into your own mix (2 at a time when free) - Timer of 15, 30, 60 or 90 minutes, or a set clock time, with a gentle fade-out - Keeps playing when the screen is off. Every sound is synthesized by us from math, with no recordings MEDITATION (6 SESSIONS BY MOOD) - Pick how you feel: before bed, buzzing, untangling, resting, before focus, just right now - Listen to the script read aloud by your device's voice, in a shorter or longer length - 2 background music tracks. Your history stays on your device. 1 session (resting) is free YOGA (12 POSES) - Original line drawings with how-to steps and cautions. 5 poses are free - A practice timer per pose, and a routine that plays poses in order - If you feel pain or discomfort, stop right away WHAT IS FREE, AND HOW IT WORKS - The breathing guide is entirely free - Sounds, meditation and yoga each have a free portion. The rest unlocks per pack with a one-time purchase, or all packs at once - If you bought the earlier "Support Sakura" purchase, all packs are already unlocked - Data stays on your device. Nothing is sent out, and there are no ads Fuutto makes no promises about results. If you are unwell or have a medical condition, use it at your own pace. It is not medical care or a diagnosis.
