Sixbpm is a free web-based tool that uses your phone's accelerometer to monitor your breathing and guides you to a slow, resonant breathing rate of six breaths per minute, based on a known physiological protocol. It's interesting for its privacy-focused, no-install design and potential to help with stress relief or relaxation through a simple, evidence-based technique.

Target audience: general users, people with stress or anxiety
