# moonbird

> Moonbird is a handheld breathing coach. It expands and contracts in your
> hand at a set pace, and you breathe along with it. It is tactile and
> screen-free, and it works on its own without a phone. Moonbird is made in
> Belgium and sells across Europe and the United States. Moonbuddy is the
> version for children.
