What is coherent breathing?

Coherent breathing means breathing at a slow, even pace of about six breaths per minute — typically 5 seconds in and 5 seconds out. This balanced rhythm supports heart-rate variability, lowers stress, and is easy to sustain for several minutes.

Does it work on mobile devices?

Yes, the timer works on any device with a browser — smartphones, tablets, and computers.

Do I need to download an app?

No download required. The timer works directly in your browser. You can add it to your home screen for quick access.

Why is this timer better than breathing GIFs?
