Breathe your way. No streaks, no guilt.

Shape the breath to how your brain works today. Follow a shape with your eyes, pick a pace that suits you, and skip the holds if they don’t feel right.

Try it now: in for four, out for six. No holds.

See it

Your breath, as a shape.

Choose a shape, a pattern and a pace in the Breathing Studio. Then follow the line as it draws itself, one side per breath.

The Breathing Studio: a triangle shape with Pattern, Pace, Comfort and Style controls, and a Breathe button.
A breathing session: a triangle drawing itself inside a soft green glow.

Why it’s different

Calm shouldn’t be a chore.

See your breath

A shape draws itself as you breathe, so you can follow along with your eyes. No voice talking at you, and holds are always optional.

Nothing guilt-trips you

No streaks to break and no notifications designed to make you anxious. Miss a day, a week, a month. It’s still here when you come back.

Your data, your call

VirWave will never show your data to an algorithm you didn’t agree to. Read exactly what we keep in our privacy policy.

Sensory-safe by design: soft colours, calm motion, and hold-free patterns for days when holding your breath doesn’t feel good.

“The Myth of CALM”

Kate Julia · TEDxUCL · video coming soon

Why VirWave exists

Regulation isn’t a skill you’re failing at.

Kate Julia is an engineer and a registered yoga teacher trained in trauma-informed practice. She builds VirWave herself, writing production code on the live app every week.

Her TEDxUCL talk, The Myth of CALM, argues that calm isn’t something you earn alone. It’s something we build for each other. VirWave is her way of building it.

Try it in Claude

A breathing break, right in the chat.

VirWave Breathe is a free extension for Claude. Ask for a breathing break and Claude draws a calm, animated session for you, hold-free unless you ask otherwise. It runs on your computer and collects nothing.
