## What is Boxed Breathing?

Boxed Breathing is here to help you boost your mornings, de-stress your afternoon, focus for big events and improve your day.
  
Your breath is the fastest tool you have. No equipment, no experience needed — just a few minutes and the right technique.

NINE PROVEN TECHNIQUES

Every course is built around a breathing pattern with a specific purpose. 
Calm an anxious mind. 
Sharpen your focus before something important. 
Wind down for sleep. 
Reset at 3am.
Recover from a hard afternoon. 

There is a session for every moment in the day.


THREE GUIDED VOICES

Emily, Corinne, and Nathaniel guide you through your sessions with calm, unhurried narration. Voices rotate automatically so your practice feels fresh, or lock in your favourite from settings. Each voice has multiple script variations, so no two sessions sound identical.

MADE FOR REAL LIFE

Sessions run from 60 seconds to 18 minutes. Set a daily reminder and tapping the notification takes you straight into your practice - no menus, no decisions. The app gets out of the way and lets you breathe.

BUILD YOUR OWN
  
The course wizard lets you create a breathing pattern from scratch. Set your own counts, add ambient music, choose your guidance level, and save it alongside the built-in courses.

APPLE HEALTH
  
Every completed session can be saved as a Mindfulness minute, so your breathwork sits alongside the rest of your wellness data.

TECHNIQUES INCLUDED
  
  Box Breathing - four equal sides for calm, sharp focus. Used by Navy SEALs.
  Coherent Breathing - five breaths per minute, the rate that optimises heart rate variability.
  4-7-8 Breathing - the long exhale that activates your nervous system's off switch.
  Sleep Wind-Down - exhale twice as long as you inhale.
  Return to Sleep - a gentle reset for middle-of-the-night awakenings.
  5-5-7 Reset - a breath hold at the top to interrupt racing thoughts.
  Alert Focus - short, punchy cycles that sharpen attention before demanding tasks.
  Double Breath - two quick inhales through the nose, one long sigh out. Clears CO₂ faster than almost any other technique.
  So Hum - an ancient breath mantra. So on the inhale, Hum on the exhale.

Breathe better. Start anywhere.
