Box Breathing Timer: Fourhold

Fourhold is a breathing timer for box breathing and other paced breathing patterns. A light moves around a figure, each phase is named in a word, and a bell marks every turn — so you can stop counting and follow it instead. People reach for a few slow breaths before sleep, to relax after a hard hour, to focus before something that matters, or when stress or anxiety has the breath running fast. Call it box breathing, breathwork or just breathing exercises — Fourhold keeps the count so you do not have to. FOUR PATTERNS Box — 4-4-4-4, four equal sides, to steady. Triangle — in, hold, out; gentler. 4-7-8 — in 4, hold 7, out 8; for sleep. Coherent — 5½ in, 5½ out, to settle in. Set the pace on box and triangle from three to seven seconds a side, choose the length in cycles or leave it open-ended, or tap a preset — Reset, Focus, Before sleep — and begin.
