Designed around the research on slow breathing and natural sound
A 5-minute reset for busy days.
Breathe along with water and birdsong — the two things research links most consistently to feeling calmer. No app to install.
Built on research
Why it's built this way
Slow breathing
Breathing at about six breaths a minute is one of the most studied ways to relax on purpose. Randomized trials link slow-paced breathing to modest drops in everyday stress.

Water & birdsong
A review in PNAS found water sounds and birdsong were the natural sounds most strongly linked to better well-being and lower stress.

Just a few minutes
In studies, people reported feeling calmer after only a few minutes of natural sound. So every session here is 3, 5, or 10 minutes.

These studies didn't test Rillbreak. They're the reason it's built the way it is.
