What it does

Equal sides give you nothing to anticipate. The evenness is the point, not the holds.

The app

Tide is a breathing timer that runs on your phone or in this browser. It opens ready to go and lets you set any pattern you like.

On your phone it runs with sound and haptics, and it works with no connection at all.
