How it works

Three breaths, and you begin.

No streaks, no goals, no setup. Just a slow orb to follow and a little more space than you had a minute ago.

01

Set the world down.

Turn the phone face-down, let the notifications wait. The next two minutes are only yours.

02

Breathe with the orb.

Watch it swell and soften. In for four, out for six — your breath finds the rhythm on its own.

03

Feel yourself settle.

Shoulders drop. The noise thins out. You arrive back in the room a little quieter than you left it.

Breathe with it

This is the breath.

In for four, out for six. Let the orb do the counting. When it swells, breathe in. When it softens, let go. Follow it.

A moment for yourself
“When the world won’t slow down, you still can.”
— Allostasis
Why it works

Small, honest, and yours.

Regulate in ~2 minutes

A short, guided breath is often enough to take the edge off and downshift.

Works anywhere

Headphones optional. A quiet corner, a parked car, a stairwell between meetings.

No account, nothing stored

Nothing to sign up for, nothing saved. Open it, breathe, close it.

Grounded in the science

Built on how slow, extended exhales gently cue the nervous system toward calm. Read more.

Questions

Good to know.

What actually is it?+

Allostasis is a small breathing companion. A slow glowing orb expands and contracts, and you simply follow it with your breath — a gentle way to guide an overstimulated nervous system back toward calm.

Do I need anything?+

No. No headphones, no equipment, no account. A phone or a browser and two quiet minutes is all it takes. Sound and headphones can deepen it, but they’re entirely optional.

Is it free?+

Yes. No signup, no ads, no trial timer. Open it, breathe with the orb, close it when you feel steadier.

Does it really work?+

Slow, extended exhales are one of the simplest ways to help the body downshift, and following a visual pacer makes that easier to sustain. It helps many people take the edge off — though how much it helps, and how quickly, varies from person to person.

Is this medical?+

No. Allostasis is a wellness tool, not a medical device, and it isn’t meant to diagnose, treat, or cure anything. If you’re managing a health condition or persistent anxiety, please talk with a qualified professional.
