I like the colors and the base design! It is looking very good. I just have some thoughts I would like to share.
I think it would be better to remove the bar at the bottom. It resembles a search bar or some other means of input, yet that's not the intended behavior. It confused me a little bit at first.
I feel the text about tapping the screen would do better to sit in the area the Clear button shows up in. So then that area fades from the text message, to the button, and back again between states. It gives a sense of connected-ness between both states, and then the eyes don't have to really shift between either.
I would also suggest making the ? info button slightly bigger, if not at least 40px in one dimension, up to 48. Then it helps it be a little less daunting to hit for folks with bigger fingers.
I also kind of feel that the text for the quote, breaths, clear, and tapping anywhere should be a bit bigger. I have a smaller phone at least, and I gave the page a go directly in it (the one within the iframe, so no phone outline). To me, it feels like I'm putting a bit too much energy trying to focus on the smaller text that it kind of takes away from the simple calming effect a bit. (Perhaps it has to do with the size of the logo text in comparison? That it causes some sort of expected size trick/feeling with my eyes? So maybe just that the logo text needs to be smaller.)
Overall, I think the idea is really good. I just have those thoughts on how I think it could be tweaked to be better. I hope there is something at least a little helpful in there.

I am joking with Ongen that we have so many fine beyond fine names, and only one App ... we will need to design more Apps just so we can use some of these names! Really.
