For parents

You can stop being the breathing police.

You've been told to remind your child to close their mouth, breathe through their nose, hold their tongue against their palate. Twenty times a day. Maybe a hundred. You've felt the fatigue of it — and you've watched your child stop hearing you.

The reason reminders don't work

Habit change requires immediate, contingent, neutral feedback — feedback that arrives at the exact moment of the behavior, every time, without judgment, from a source the child has no relationship with.

A parent cannot deliver this. No parent can. It is structurally impossible while also being the parent.

Nasal is the neutral party. The app handles the corrections so you can stop. Your role becomes setting up the session and being present. Nasal does the rest.


Why this works for everyone

Nasal is unusual among therapies because it makes things easier for every party involved, not harder. There's no party that loses something for the therapy to work.

You, the parent
You stop having to be the constant corrector. The 100-times-a-day reminder is no longer your job. You go back to being the parent.
Your child
They keep doing what they want — watching their videos, playing their games — without losing access. The screen they were going to use anyway becomes the place where the therapy happens.
The relationship
The corrections move to a neutral source. The dynamic between you and your child stops being shaped by this one issue.
The clinician
Continuous data on what's actually happening at home, between appointments. Adjustments based on patterns, not anecdotes.

How a session looks

Your child opens the app, taps a video they want to watch, and the camera turns on. From there they just watch. If they breathe through the nose, nothing changes. If their mouth opens, the app responds — at first silently, later with a gentle reminder, eventually by softening the screen until the mouth closes. The moment the mouth closes, everything returns to normal.

There is never a punishment, never a score the child has to beat in real time, and never a withholding of access. Just contingent feedback — the kind the nervous system can learn from.

About the camera

The camera is used as a sensor, not a recorder. No video is ever saved or transmitted. Frames are analyzed on the device in real time and discarded immediately. Only anonymized event data — when the mouth opened, how long, whether it was a yawn — leaves the device.


The journey, in four phases

Baseline
The app watches and learns your child's pattern. No corrections — just observation.
Practice
Gentle text prompts begin. The video keeps playing; the prompt is information, not punishment.
Discipline
Stronger feedback — the screen softens or pauses on mouth-open events. The child corrects, the screen returns.
Mastery
Reminders fade. Sessions become check-ins. The breathing pattern is now the child's, not the app's.
