Ready when you are

Pick a pattern and a length, then start. Sound only begins once you press Start.

About this pattern

This is a relaxation aid, not medical advice. Skip the breath-holding patterns if you are pregnant, have a heart or respiratory condition, or feel lightheaded — and never practise while driving or in water.

With eyes closed, the chime and vibration cues are usually enough — you can put the phone face down and follow the sound alone.

Apple Health

A web page cannot write to Health directly — Apple provides no browser API for it. The working route is an Apple Shortcut, which logs the session as Mindful Minutes after asking your permission on the phone.

One-time setup

In the Shortcuts app on your iPhone, create a Shortcut named exactly Log Mindful Minutes:

Turn on Receive text input from Share Sheet and other apps.
Get Dictionary from Input — parses the list this app sends.
Repeat with Each Item in that list.
Inside the repeat: Get Dictionary Value for start, then again for end.
Inside the repeat: Log Health Sample → type Mindful Session, with those start and end dates.

Then come back here and tap Send to Shortcut. iOS gives no confirmation back to the browser, so this app asks you afterwards whether it went through before marking the sessions as logged.

Later: a native wrapper

Every session carries a stable id and a syncedToHealth flag, so a small native app around this page can read the same records and write only the new ones straight to HealthKit — no Shortcut needed.
