Guided breathing
Start with paced breathing or the 30-second Guided Reset.
Choose a rhythm from the breathing library, start the session and follow the on-screen orb. For the shortest pause, open the separate 30-second Guided Reset.
PulseWave offers guided breathing, tapping, meditation, sleep and sound on iPhone and Android. On iPhone, start with a 30-second Guided Reset; on Mac, choose guided breathing, Focus or a sound mix. It is a wellness tool, not a medical device.
Breathing, focus and sound on Mac
Start a guided breathing session between two tasks. For a longer work block, run a Focus session and shape a sound mix from the main window or menu bar.
Available now on iPhone and Android. PulseWave is also available for Mac as a separate download from the Mac App Store.

Tapping
Follow a clear, step-by-step tapping sequence when you want a structured pause.
Open a tapping sequence and move through its prompts one step at a time.
Meditation and hypnosis
Choose a guided meditation or hypnosis session when you want to stay with one practice for longer.
Pick a guided meditation or hypnosis session, start the audio and follow it at your own pace. The player keeps the current session in view.
Sleep routines
Set up a quieter evening with a sleep session, a timer and audio that fades when you choose. Use the app in a comfortable setting, never while driving or operating equipment.
Choose a sleep session or a sound, set the timer and let the audio fade out at the time you chose.
Live soundscape mixer
Mix noise, nature layers and guided audio in real time.
Add noise and nature sounds as separate layers, then adjust the mix while it plays.
PulseWave for Mac
Use guided breathing, Focus and saved sound mixes from the Mac app. In a vehicle, use only safe, non-distracting controls.
The Mac app offers guided breathing sessions starting at three minutes, a one-minute breathing pause after Focus, and a live soundscape mixer. Choose audio on iPhone before driving; CarPlay provides the system audio controls.
