The calm app for people with exams.

Exam in two hours, deadline at midnight, group chat on fire. Tell Exhalr what's on you and it builds a three-minute breathing or yoga session for that exact moment. Built for students, not for your parents.

Students 16+ only. Free while in beta. One email when it's your turn, that's it.

This is the whole app, in 30 seconds

breathe

How stressed are you right now? 1 is chill, 10 is losing it.

Not your parents' meditation app.

Made for student stress

Exams, deadlines, presentations, money, the group chat, 2am. Not "work-life balance".

Three minutes, not thirty

Between lectures, in the library toilet, on the bus. No courses, no "day 14 of 30".

Student pricing

Free while in beta. After that, less than a coffee a month, because we know what your budget looks like.

One loop. Say it, breathe it, see the number drop.

Say how you feel

Tap your stress level, add one sentence if you want. "Presentation at 9, brain won't stop."

Get a session made for that

AI picks the breathing or yoga blocks a real instructor approved, and a real voice guides you through 2–5 minutes.

Watch the number drop

Check in again. See the before and after. Share it, or just go to class.

Three minutes by day. Ten minutes at night.

Day · 3 minutes

Before the exam, between lectures, on the bus. Tell it what's on you, breathe, watch the number drop. This is what the beta ships with.

Night · 10 minutes coming in v1.1

A guided wind-down for the nights your brain won't stop: slow breath, a body scan, a voice that goes quiet, music that fades out. It asks how you slept in the morning.

We're building this mostly with AI, in public, every week.

An AI called Zen writes the code, the sessions and this page; one human checks it; a real yoga teacher vetoes the dangerous bits. We post the real numbers every week — what worked, what broke, what students told us. Day 0 was 15 September 2026.
