## What is Inhale?

$4.99 once. No subscription. Calm in 60 seconds before you walk into a meeting, take a sales call, or sit a hard interview. Five science-backed breathing techniques. Yours for life.

BUILT FOR HIGH-STAKES MOMENTS
The five minutes before you speak. The pause before you pick up the phone. The walk down the hallway. Inhale is the single 60-second tool you reach for when the stakes are real and your chest is tight.

WHY INHALE
Most breathing apps charge $50 a year for content libraries you'll never finish. Inhale does one thing — get you calm in 60 seconds — and charges you once. No renewals. No reminders. No account. Yours for life.

5 SCIENCE-BACKED TECHNIQUES
- Cyclic Sighing — Stanford research, fastest stress relief in controlled trials
- Box Breathing — used by Navy SEALs to stay sharp under pressure
- 4-7-8 — Dr. Andrew Weil's calm-down method
- Coherent Breathing — five breaths a minute, balances the nervous system
- Power Breath — quick energy lift before you need to perform

THE MOMENTS INHALE IS BUILT FOR
- The five minutes before a presentation or stage talk
- The pause before a sales call or cold call
- The walk to a job interview
- After a tough conversation, when your hands still shake
- Wind-down before bed when your mind won't stop replaying it

HOW IT WORKS
1. Tap "Calm me — 60 seconds" or pick a moment (Speak, Sleep, Calm)
2. Follow the gentle breathing circle
3. Feel the haptic vibrations guide each breath
4. Close your eyes — your phone leads, you breathe

WHAT'S INCLUDED
- 5 breathing techniques (2 are part of the lifetime unlock)
- 5 ambient sounds: rain, ocean, night forest, pink and brown noise
- Haptic guidance — breathe without watching the screen
- Session tracking with streaks and statistics
- Dark, minimal interface designed for stress moments
- All future updates included

PRIVACY FIRST
Inhale runs entirely on your device. No accounts. No tracking. No data leaves your phone.

Inhale is designed for general wellness. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. If you experience persistent anxiety, panic, or breathing problems, consult a healthcare professional.
