For macOS · A breathing companion for agentic work
Breathe while your agents work.
Coherence lives quietly at the edge of your screen. When an agent starts a long run, the Shard invites you into ninety seconds of breathing, and hands your work back as it finishes.

Six edges, three axes, one light
Held in a cloud of thought.
Gallery 1 · Shard
Your agent is running. So is your mind.
- Eleven files open, four test suites queued, and a progress bar you keep glancing back at.
- Your shoulders rise and your breath goes shallow. Researchers have a name for it: screen apnea.
- Ten slow breaths gather the pieces back into one. The run finishes, and so do you.

Two breaths in. One long breath out.
Inhale through the nose, top up with a second short breath, then let it all go slowly through the mouth. Ten cycles of nine seconds make exactly ninety. The cloud swells as you inhale, a pulse of light runs through it on the top up, and every exhale sends a ring out into the room. Breath by breath, its scattered points fall into three slow orbits.

In a month-long Stanford study, five minutes a day of cyclic sighing improved mood and lowered resting breathing rate more than mindfulness meditation did.Stanford Medicine · Cell Reports Medicine, 2023
Gallery 3 · Waves
A river of thought, slowing down.
While your mind is busy, currents of light braid and cross. As you settle they run together into one smooth flow, carrying motes of thought downstream, and each long exhale spreads a ring across the surface. Three companions, one practice. Choose yours in settings.

Quiet by design.
A companion that interrupts you is just another notification. Coherence waits for the right moment and keeps its voice low.
Invites you only while agents run
It notices a long agent session and offers a breath. Say later and it stays silent for the time you choose.
Never during meetings
No invitations while you share your screen, sit in a call or work in a full-screen app.
Lives on the edge of your screen
A small object you can drag anywhere. Click it to begin, right-click for settings, or press ⌥ M.
Brown noise and a 40 Hz tone
Layered with a soundscape of water or air. The binaural tone is for headphones and is audio only.
The chamber never flickers
Your screen frosts over softly and the companion grows to fill it. Nothing strobes, ever.
Back in ninety seconds
The chamber clears as your agent finishes. Keep a little ambient sound if you like, or return to silence.
