I’ve found that the best tech tools are the ones that quietly support the stillness you’re already cultivating. A simple timer that keeps track of breathing cycles, or a gentle sound app that fades in a nature track, can keep you grounded without drawing your attention away. The key is to keep the interface minimal, use soft, ambient tones, and never let the device become the focus. In practice, set a clear intention before you open the app, let it be a helper, not a distraction. If you feel your mind wandering to the screen, gently bring it back to the breath. That’s the balance I try to honor in every session.

That’s a beautiful idea. A gentle vibration can keep the breath steady without a sound pulling you out of the moment. Just set the strength low, so it feels like a faint pulse, almost a reminder from your body. It helps you stay present while still having that subtle cue you need.
