Breathe is a beautifully simple breathing coach — a quiet place to slow your breath down, whether you are winding down, settling before sleep or gathering your focus. Pick a rhythm, follow the breathing orb, and let your body do the rest — anywhere, anytime, fully offline.
INHALE. HOLD. EXHALE.
The animated orb expands and contracts so you always know exactly what to do. Living, never-repeating breath sounds and soft haptics guide you even with your eyes closed — like a calm coach whispering the rhythm.
TUNE THE PACE BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Every technique sets a ratio, not a stopwatch — the clock is personal. A tuning screen sits between the exercise and the session: the orb already breathes the rhythm while you slide it slower or faster, the researched default is marked, and the session is spelled out as it changes — 10 seconds a breath, 18 breaths, 3 minutes.
EVERY EXERCISE, EXPLAINED
A paced circle tells you when to breathe and never how. Each of the ten exercises carries a written instruction that names its source and says what the technique actually asks for — and where the evidence is mixed, it says that too. Shown once before your first session, and always available from Settings.
CALM RHYTHMS — slow, paced breathing
• Calm 5·5 — an even, unhurried rhythm
• Box 4·4·4·4 — the equal four-count square, widely taught in military and police stress training
• Sleep 4·7·8 — the classic long-exhale wind-down, usually practised at bedtime
• Coherence 5.5·5.5 — a steady six breaths a minute, the rate most studied for heart-rate variability (Pro)
• Unwind 4·6 — an exhale half again as long as the inhale (Pro)
• Custom — build your own rhythm second by second (Pro)
POWER BREATHING — deep rounds and breath holds
• Fire — classic power rounds: 30 full breaths, then hold as long as you like
• Spark — a single short round
• Inferno — deeper, longer rounds (Pro)
• Kapalabhati — the fast abdominal breath of classical pranayama (Pro)
Track your best breath hold and see how it changes over the weeks.

Breathe makes no health claims and promises no results — what any exercise does for you is personal, and the app simply keeps the rhythm. Power breathing includes clear in-app safety guidance and requires your confirmation: practise only sitting or lying down, never in water or while driving. Breathe is a wellness tool, not a medical device, and does not provide medical advice. If you have a respiratory or cardiovascular condition, consult your doctor before breath training.
