Fluctuating progress indicator

One or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, configure a user device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a first user input at a user interface of a user device to begin a breathing sequence;
• determining a breath ratio for the breathing sequence based on a breathing profile, wherein the breath ratio corresponds to breath inhale time compared to breath exhale time;
• and
• causing fluctuation of a fluctuating user interface element on a screen of the user device at a cyclic rate corresponding to the breath ratio, wherein the fluctuation comprises repeated growing and repeated shrinking of the fluctuating user interface element at the cyclic rate during the breathing sequence.

A user device, comprising:

• a housing;
• a display supported by the housing and comprising a touchscreen;
• one or more sensors;
• a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to access the memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to at least:
• receive a first user input at the touchscreen to begin a breathing sequence;
• determine a breath ratio for the breathing sequence based on a breathing 9 profile, wherein the breath ratio corresponds to breath inhale time compared to breath exhale time;
• and
• cause fluctuation of a fluctuating user interface element on the touchscreen at a cyclic rate corresponding to the breath ratio, wherein the fluctuation comprises repeated growing and repeated shrinking of the fluctuating user interface element at the cyclic rate during the breathing sequence.
