Downstep

Downstep watches you breathe and shows it back to you.

Prop your phone nearby and it listens through the microphone, turning your real breathing into a calming visual that settles as you slow down — with a gentle nudge if it stays fast. No mic, or somewhere loud? Track by touch instead: drag to breathe in, drag back to breathe out. Same effect, no sound needed.

What makes Downstep different: • Responds to your actual breathing, not a fixed countdown timer • Two ways in — microphone or touch — so it works anywhere, including a noisy room • Three optional background sounds (Rain, Birds, a generative Lofi track) or full silence • Shows you concretely how long it took to calm down this time • No account, no login, nothing to set up

Downstep doesn't diagnose or treat anything — it's a simple, private tool for the moment you need to slow down. Your microphone audio is processed on your device only, in real time, and is never recorded or sent anywhere.
