b is a Bluetooth breathing tool designed to restore your inner calm

Takes your breath away

Are you a bit stressed? HOW ABOUT NOW WE’RE WRITING IN ALL-CAPS? That probably didn’t help you chill out, but b ($99) just might. Looking like a whistle, b is in fact a Bluetooth device you use to tap into the power of your breath. Used on its own, it records your breaths, so you can check out data and find out how to improve in terms of mindfulness, or – if you’re having a bad time of it – hyperventilation. But if you don’t fancy practically welding b to your lips all day, it can be used in conjunction with a mobile app to partake in short exercises to help you de-stress. As you breathe, b gives subtle vibration, LED and sound cues. Just don’t swallow the thing when you finally properly relax and doze off.

About

I’m a regular contributor to Stuff magazine and Stuff.tv, covering apps, games, Apple kit, Android, Lego, retro gaming and other interesting oddities. I also pen opinion pieces when the editor lets me, getting all serious about accessibility and predicting when sentient AI smart cookware will take over the world, in a terrifying mix of Bake Off and Terminator.

Areas of expertise

Mobile apps and games, Macs, iOS and tvOS devices, Android, retro games, crowdfunding, design, how to fight off an enraged smart saucepan with a massive stick.
