## What is AURA?

AURA is a calm space for breathing and meditation. A few minutes a day to ease anxiety, restore focus, and fall asleep more softly.

Why AURA:
• 16 practices — breathing techniques and guided meditations: cyclic sighing, 4-7-8, box breathing, body scan, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, and more.
• Matched to your state — check in with how you feel and AURA suggests the right practice.
• Real voices — male and female, in Russian and English.
• Soundscapes — rain, ocean, bonfire, white noise for sleep and focus.
• Path — levels from first steps to a lasting habit.
• Progress — streaks, achievements, and gentle reminders.
• Works offline — every practice is already in the app.
• Privacy — your data stays on your device.

AURA+ unlocks all practices and soundscapes.

AURA supports a daily practice; it is not medical care. If you feel severely unwell, please contact a professional.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.3 — 2026-09-01

Reduce Motion now actually removes motion.

In the breathing practices this setting used to remove only the smoothing: the orb, the halo and the flame went on travelling their full range, but in visible steps. That was worse, not calmer. Now they hold still while light and colour keep easing — the practice is still legible, the movement is gone.

The «Vibration for actions» setting finally applies everywhere. Seventeen places were buzzing around it, including the primary button and every tab switch.

Small things you feel: the practice play button, the catalog rows and the «Watch a short video» button answer your touch. Swipe-back follows your finger and commits on a quick flick. Swipe-down no longer steals the scroll. After a practice, «Done» appears right away instead of a second and a half later.

### 2.0.2 — 2026-08-28

The free tier is more honest now. Every practice is open — nothing is locked away. One short video comes before you start; AURA+ removes it entirely.

A video never interrupts a practice — it only happens before one. Panic, sleep, cyclic-sighing and concentration practices are always open, with no video and no subscription. And when there is nothing to show — offline, on a plane — the practice simply begins.

Also: ad preferences can now be changed any time under Privacy, plus a few small fixes to the Russian interface.

### 2.0.1 — 2026-08-26

Quieter and more honest.

• The developer website link now leads somewhere that actually explains the practices.
• Groundwork for free access: soon you will be able to open everything without a subscription.
• Crisis practices — grounding, cyclic sighing, evening wind-down — stay free forever and are never gated by anything.
• Small stability improvements.

### 2.0 — 2026-07-28

A big update — AURA is lighter, more honest, and more attentive.

• The app download is about 28 MB smaller.
• 4-7-8 breathing now follows the protocol exactly: 8 cycles, about 3 minutes. Sessions used to run longer than recommended — fixed.
• Widgets speak your system language and roll over correctly at midnight.
• Siri and Shortcuts see every practice.
• The assistant understands English.
• The journal is gentler: after a hard entry, a quiet support block appears.
• Share cards for completed practices and achievements.
• Home no longer drifts sideways under a gesture.
• A gift from partners: one month of AURA+ free via a partner link.
• Many smoothness, accessibility (VoiceOver, large text) and stability improvements.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-08

No release notes.
