What we're building

The app is the wedge. The universe is the moat.

The live product is the breathing app. Alongside it, in development: a transmedia IP world and physical companions that tie back to the same practice. One universe, three surfaces, compounding.

The app

Twelve breathing patterns, drawn as shapes you can follow with your eyes. Next on the roadmap: an emotional portrait and relational pairings that give you language for how to show up for the people you love.

The world

Opowatha. Four realms, twelve archetypes, and a transmedia bible connecting the adult app to a children's IP. The long-term IP moat.

The companions

Planned: board games, plush and printed guides that carry the world off the screen. Physical objects that bring families into the practice.
