## Description

Use proven breathing techniques to help fall asleep and stay asleep.

Your mind is racing. You can't sleep. What if your phone could help — without a single sound or beam of light?

Pillow Tap uses your iPhone's haptic engine to guide your breathing as you fall asleep. Place your phone under your pillow, start a session, and feel the rhythm: one tap means breathe in, two taps mean breathe out. That's it.

Controlled breathing activates your parasympathetic nervous system — slowing your heart rate, lowering your blood pressure, and telling your brain it's safe to rest. Pillow Tap makes it effortless by giving you a rhythm to follow without needing to watch a screen or listen to audio.

THREE BREATHING PATTERNS

4-7-8 Relaxing — Inhale 4s, hold 7s, exhale 8s. Developed by Dr. Andrew Weil specifically for sleep.
Box Breathing — Inhale 4s, hold 4s, exhale 4s, rest 4s. Used by Navy SEALs to calm the mind under pressure.
Simple Relaxation — Inhale 4s, exhale 6s. No hold, no complexity. Just breathe.
DESIGNED FOR BEDTIME

No sound needed — works entirely through vibration
Screen dims to minimum brightness automatically
Pure black display for zero light under your pillow
Adjustable haptic strength (Light, Medium, Strong)
15-minute sessions that stop on their own
Double-tap to stop early
YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS

Pillow Tap collects zero data. No accounts, no analytics, no internet connection. Everything stays on your device.

Try a different pattern each night and find the one that works for you. Sweet dreams.
