Yes. PulseWave is a Mac app from HighRoad Software for a quick guided breathing break between tasks. It also offers a focus timer and live-mixed soundscapes; it is a wellness tool, not a medical device.
Breathing, focus and sound on Mac
Use the 30-second Guided Reset or paced 5–5 breathing when one task ends and the next is about to begin. 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.
Explore PulseWave
Guided breathing
Start with paced breathing or the 30-second Guided Reset.
Free breathing timer
Try box 4-4-4-4, 4-7-8 or coherent breathing in your browser before you download.
Tapping
Follow a clear, step-by-step tapping sequence when you want a structured pause.
Meditation and hypnosis
Choose a guided meditation or hypnosis session when you want to stay with one practice for longer.
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.
Live soundscape mixer
Mix noise, nature layers and guided audio in real time.
PulseWave for Mac
Use guided breathing, Focus and saved sound mixes from the Mac app. In a vehicle, use only safe, non-distracting controls.
Data handling and privacy
The coaching model runs on the device. Journal, mood and eligible practice records can use authenticated per-user Firebase storage; the privacy policy explains that separate path. Optional analytics exclude what you write.
Wellness use and limits
PulseWave does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent a medical or mental-health condition. Stop a practice if it feels wrong for you. Ask a qualified professional about symptoms or care decisions.
