## What is Steady?

A breathing meditation app that helps you fights stress and anxiety through breathing exercises such as box breathing, and the popular 4-7-8 breathing pattern that helps with sleep. Let the timer and audio cues guide the rhythm of your breath as you breathe in and breathe out, inhaling the future and exhaling the past.

Pranayama ("prana" - life force, "yama" - regulation) is the conscious regulation & awareness of breath: the life force that both energizes and relaxes the body. It is no surprise that our breath can influence our physiology. Wim Hof, a Dutch extreme athlete, is noted for his ability to withstand freezing temperatures thanks to his breathwork.

Even if you are not aiming to become an extreme athlete, you can enjoy the many benefits of breathwork such as strengthening your immune system (which can be confirmed by measuring your heart rate variability, a.k.a., HRV), improving your ability to deal with stress & anxiety, keeping asthma under control, etc.. In fact, you will notice an immediate sense of relaxation through a short minute of breathwork. Deep breathing doesn't help. What helps is rhythm. Get into a rhythm.

### 4/5 — 语音提示还是回来吧

*2026-04-18*

语音提示还是回来吧，现在只有一种提示音，时不时要看一下啊，语音回来吧，英文的也行

### 1/5 — forcing subscription

*2025-11-03*

love the app, works great for me – but all of a sudden I’m getting a Steady Pro subscription page that I can’t close?? do I have to pay to use this app now? huge bummer

### 4/5 — Almost PERFECT!

*2024-12-12*

I’ve been looking for an app
like this, and I really enjoy using it. 

I just wish there was a way to include a more extended breath hold system so I could incorporate Wim Hof & Pranayama. If that is ever added to this app I genuinely think this app would have no flaws in my eyes.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2024-10-10*

This app is fantastic—simple, effective, and free of unnecessary features. Its straightforward design makes it a pleasure to use, and it stands head and shoulders above other apps in the same category. I’m glad I purchased the full version; it’s money well spent. Whenever there’s an issue, the developer is incredibly responsive and quick to resolve any problems, which only adds to the value. Highly recommended!

### 1/5 — Horrible Support

*2024-07-15*

I’ve had this app for many years and now it does not work and there’s no way to get anybody to help me. I would not buy this app for now and there’s nothing I can do to change at this particular point because there’s no one to talk to.

### 3/5 — 人声提示更一下没了等于废了

*2024-06-30*

垃圾产品不要买，有问题这么久也不解决，这种态度可想而知他们家别的app是什么结果，呼吸app便宜一半功能多几倍好用多了

### 3/5 — 只有背景白噪音，没有语音提示，怎么回事？

*2024-06-27*

？

### 2/5 — Your app freezes

*2024-05-28*

When I open your app, it freezes until I close it and re-open it. I paid for the pro version of this app. Please resolve this or refund me my money.

### 3/5 — Not fully loading

*2024-05-17*

There are times when the app opens and doesn’t fully load. You don’t see the play button pop up. Once I completely close the app and reopen it, then it works. Please resolve.

### 1/5 — 语音提示没声音

*2024-03-21*

只有背景音，语音提示没声音。差评
