Wooden Fish (WoodenFish.online) is a peaceful web app inspired by Buddhist temples. It lets people strike a virtual mokugyo (“wooden fish”) to produce a gentle, steady rhythm designed to help them refocus and settle into the moment.
The app adds sound, animation, and optional counting so users can keep cadence while they breathe, reflect, or repeat a mantra. It’s meant as a light, supportive mindfulness ritual—no login required—so the practice is available anytime, anywhere.
