BoxPeach

BoxPeach is a calm, guided breathing app built around box breathing — the proven four-count technique used by Navy SEALs, surgeons, and elite athletes to lower stress and sharpen focus in minutes. How it works Inhale for 4 seconds. Hold for 4. Exhale for 4. Hold for 4. Repeat. It sounds simple because it is — and that's exactly why it works. Six breathing patterns • Box Breathing (4·4·4·4) — the classic. Stress relief and daily practice. • Beginner (3·3·3·3) — shorter holds, perfect for first-timers. • Performance (5·5·5·5) — used by athletes before competition. • Deep Calm (6·6·6·6) — for meditation and sleep prep. • Extended Exhale (4·2·6·2) — activates the parasympathetic system. Great for anxiety. • Sleep Breath (4·7·8·1) — Dr. Weil's technique. Fall asleep faster. Features • Animated mascot guides every breath • Gentle chimes and haptics at each phase transition • Session history with day streaks • Apple Health integration — logs sessions as Mindful Minutes • Daily reminder to keep your practice consistent • No account, no subscription, no ads Why box breathing? Regular practice lowers cortisol, improves heart rate variability, builds emotional regulation, and prepares the nervous system for deep sleep. Five minutes a day is enough to feel the difference. BoxPeach makes it easy to start, simple to stick with, and satisfying to watch your streak grow.
