✳ THE STORY BEHIND THE BIRD
We made Kukushka for the days when your mind has twelve tabs open and every single one is making noise.
In plenty of places, a cuckoo is more than a bird: it's a little symbol of commotion, surprise, and the unexpected. We liked the idea of turning that into something kind.
Our cuckoo doesn't need you to be productive. It just pops out to remind you to land for a moment.
Some days you need a walk. Some days you need a conversation. And sometimes you only have thirty seconds between two very loud things.
Kukushka offers tiny moments you can take with you: a slower breath, a gentle check-in, or a short read. No streaks and no scores.
The little activities run in your browser. We don't ask for an account, upload your mood selection, or store your breathing session on a server.

THE CUCKOO IS HOME
