KEEL: A Shape to Breathe By
A physical breathing aid uses raised shapes on adhesive patches to give the thumb a tactile route for pacing breath, alongside a large free library of exercises and browser tools.
Field notes
The physical mechanism is deliberately simple: each patch carries a raised shape whose edge supplies a tactile breathing route, so the user can pace an inhale or exhale with a thumb rather than a screen. Four shapes map to coherent, box, 4-7-8, and physiological-sigh exercises. The surrounding site is unusually expansive for a product page, with a practice tracker, panic first-aid sequence, sleep calculators, a noise machine, and an evidence section that includes null results.
