## What is Braele?

Take a breath. Braele is a beautifully simple breathing app that helps you find calm, ease anxiety, or fall asleep in just a few minutes. Box breathing is free forever — no account, no sign-up, works offline.

Braele has no courses, no guided meditations, and no library to work through. It does one thing: it breathes with you.

Follow the living orb as it expands and contracts, with gentle phase-synced haptics on every inhale, hold, and exhale — so you can breathe with your eyes closed. Add optional ambient sound and pick the pattern that fits the moment:

• Box breathing (4-4-4-4) — a steady, paced rhythm for focus and calm
• 4-7-8 breathing — wind down and ease insomnia before sleep
• Coherent (5-5) — also known as resonance breathing, a calm, balanced rhythm
• Calming (4-6) — a longer exhale that activates the vagus nerve to ease anxiety, stress, and panic
• Energizing (2-2) — a quick morning lift
• Physiological sigh — two inhales and one long exhale, free whenever you need it

New to this? Start with box breathing and follow the orb for two minutes.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• A calming animated orb, not a flat timer
• Phase-synced haptics — feel every breath, even eyes closed
• Ambient sound: brown, pink, or white noise, plus rain and ocean
• Build your own pattern, second by second
• A day-streak that grows with you, and simple progress stats
• Up to three gentle daily reminders
• Saves your sessions to Apple Health as mindful minutes
• Private by design — no account, no sign-up, works offline

BRAELE PRO — PAY ONCE, NO SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED
Box breathing, the physiological sigh, and one ambient sound are free forever. Braele Pro unlocks every pattern, every sound, and the custom pattern builder — with a single one-time Lifetime purchase that costs less than one month of most subscription apps. A monthly plan is there if you prefer to pay as you go; it renews automatically until cancelled, and you can manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-27

Braele has a whole new look — a fresh icon, a calmer palette, hand-painted scenery for every breathing pattern, and a new opening screen that becomes a moonlit night in dark mode.

Braele now speaks your language: the whole app is available in German, Spanish, French, Dutch and Danish, picked automatically from your device.

The home screen was redesigned around your practice: patterns front and center, a slim progress row, and a Tip of the day you can expand whenever you're curious.

Plus: new milestones for the physiological sigh, the app icon now adapts to dark and tinted Home Screens on iOS 18, and lots of small polish. Box breathing stays free forever.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-07-17

New in this update: build your own breathing pattern. Set your inhale, holds, and exhale second by second, save your rhythm, and breathe it with the orb, haptics, and ambient sound — a Braele Pro feature.

Plus small fixes and polish. Box breathing stays free forever.
