When you are tense, angry, or anxious, you’ve no doubt heard the advice: Take a deep breath. Indeed, proper breathing can help you relax and focus. And if a cute companion is there every step of the way? Even better.

What we love: Spending time with Mindllama’s loveable llama (and porcupine, hippo, and owl once you subscribe)—they’ll share daily inspirational quotes to up your positive energy.

Quick tip: Start a breathing session without having to open the app using the widget feature. To set this up, tap and hold anywhere on your Home Screen until the app icons start shaking, then tap the + in the top-left corner to add the Mindllama widget. When the need arises, tap the widget and your animal friend will lead you to breathe in and out.

Meet the creator: Llama Luna Apps was founded by Ukrainian couple Vitalii Mogylevets and Polina Komisarova-Mogylevets. Needless to say, they are both llama lovers, with the period-tracking tool Pinkllama and the hydration tracker Waterllama to show for it!
