## What is OAr?

OAr is your morning routine: a powerful breathing practice plus meditation, yoga, Pilates and a cold shower – every day the next practice, one tap and you're off.

• Today at a glance: the next open practice sits on top, your last seven days below. You choose what belongs in your routine and in which order – or just the breathing.
• Breathing: round by round, deep breaths, a breath hold after exhaling and a recovery breath. A glowing orb breathes with you, and the hold times adapt after every session.
• Meditation: stillness with a gong at the start, in between and at the end – duration, gong and music are up to you.
• Yoga and Pilates: a short video under 12 minutes every day, fullscreen in the YouTube player (internet required).
• Cold shower: a few seconds to get ready, then a tone every 30 seconds. Make it through and extend next time.
• Weekly goals with a streak, a reminder at your usual time, pause any time.
• Supplements: set times and amounts, get a daily reminder, tick off what you've taken.
• Custom practices: strength training, evening yoga or whatever suits you – as a timer with gong, music and animation, or with your own YouTube videos.
• Badges for hold times, streaks and milestones; optionally your steps from Apple Health or Health Connect with a daily goal.
• No account. Your practice stays on your device; anonymous usage statistics only if you agree.

Safety: only practise sitting or lying down – never in water, while driving or anywhere fainting would be dangerous. If pregnant, epileptic or with cardiovascular conditions, consult a doctor first. OAr is not a medical device.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7.0 — 2026-11-10

Made for the foldable iPhone Duo: unfolded in landscape, Today shows the next practice on the left and all practices with the 7-day history on the right, without scrolling – on iPad in landscape too. Propped up like a small laptop, the breathing orb stands in front of you on the top half and the controls sit below. During breath holds you see each round's hold time as a bar.

### 1.6.0 — 2026-11-08

New badges are celebrated right after your practice, each with its own animation. Tap the weekly overview to see your monthly history. Under Adjust you can mark any practice as done for today by hand. Steps are now a practice on Today instead of a tab of their own. The cold shower starts after 10 seconds, counts from the moment the water runs, and then asks whether the next one should be longer or shorter.

### 1.5.1 — 2026-11-04

OAr now speaks 20 languages and follows your device language. Steps have a tab of their own instead of sitting among the practices. Breathing, meditation and custom timers now end the same way: the animation keeps flowing gently and a check mark shows you made it. Tapping a supplement reminder takes you straight to the tab for ticking it off. And your step count stays up to date while the app is open.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-11-03

Custom practices: add strength training, evening yoga or whatever belongs to your routine – as a timer with gong, music and animation, or as a list of your own YouTube videos. Also new: badges for hold times, streaks and milestones, steps from Apple Health (optional, stays on your device), breath holds per round with “hold longer”, an adjustable lead time for the cold shower and muting music mid-meditation.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-11-02

Breath is now called OAr. New name, same routine – your practice, streaks and settings stay just as they are.
