Anxiety Breathing: Airu

Anxiety hits fast. Airu hits back faster. When panic starts, you don't have time to browse a menu. Airu gets you breathing in one tap - straight from your lock screen, no login, no loading, no choices. Just breathe. Built for teens and young adults who deal with real anxiety. Not the watered-down, corporate wellness kind. The before-your-exam, can't-slow-your-heart, woke-up-dreading-everything kind. EMERGENCY MODE One tap on your lock screen widget. Breathing starts in under a second. No menus. No setup. No watching an ad while you're panicking. Emergency Mode is always free — one tap from the lock screen. Guests get Coherent Breathing (5s in, 5s out). Subscribers get the Physiological Sigh (double inhale, long exhale) for faster panic relief. THREE TYPES OF ANXIETY. THREE DIFFERENT APPROACHES. Not all anxiety is the same. Airu knows the difference. ACUTE PANIC - Right now, can't breathe Your heart is racing and your chest is tight. Airu routes you to 4-7-8 breathing or the Physiological Sigh to shut down your fight-or-flight response fast. SOCIAL ANXIETY - Before a big moment Exam in 10 minutes. Presentation coming up. Date tonight. Box breathing (4-4-4-4) lowers cortisol without making you drowsy - so you show up calm and sharp. MORNING DREAD - That low-grade background spiral The anxiety that colors your whole day before it even starts. Coherent Breathing (5 seconds in, 5 seconds out) gradually resets your nervous system baseline over time. MADE FOR TEENS & YOUNG ADULTS No meditation-retreat language. No adult stress scenarios. Airu speaks your world - exams, presentations, social pressure, arguments, that Sunday night dread before the week starts. Ten built-in scenarios at launch, with more added regularly. Each one recommends the right breathing technique for that exact moment. PAY WHAT YOU CAN. NO ADS. FAMILY SHARING.

It lowers heart rate, reduces cortisol, and signals to your brain that you're safe.

TECHNIQUES INCLUDED - 4-7-8 Breathing - fast nervous system reset - Physiological Sigh - fastest panic relief - Box Breathing (4-4-4-4) - pre-event calm - Coherent Breathing (5-5) - daily baseline reset - 4-4-6 - social anxiety alternate LEGAL Terms of Use (EULA): https://calm-aura.github.io/tos_and_privacy/airu/terms-of-service.html Privacy Policy: https://calm-aura.github.io/tos_and_privacy/airu/privacy-policy.html Airu doesn't replace therapy or clinical care.
