## What is Sylph?

Just breathe. Nothing else.
Sylph is breathwork and meditation, stripped to the essentials: a precise breath pacer with haptic feedback, 15 science-backed techniques, and a meditation timer that just runs. No sleep stories. No therapy modules. No endless content feed.
— BREATH PACER WITH HAPTICS —
A circle that breathes with you — perfectly in sync with subtle haptic pulses. Feel every inhale, hold, and exhale, even with your eyes closed. Built on CoreHaptics for sub-50ms latency.
— 15 BREATHING TECHNIQUES —

Box Breathing (4-4-4-4) — focus under pressure
4-7-8 — relaxes the nervous system for sleep
Tummo-inspired power breathing — energy & cold tolerance
Coherent Breathing (5-5) — heart rate variability
Physiological Sigh — fast stress reset
Pranayama (Nadi Shodhana) — alternate nostril breathing
Triangle, 2-1, Slow Breathing and more

Each technique with a short explanation and the science behind it. No mysticism, no pseudo-spirituality.
— APPLE WATCH STANDALONE —
Start any technique straight from your wrist. Haptic feedback, complication for one-tap start, and HealthKit mindful minutes — without ever pulling your iPhone out.
— MEDITATION TIMER —
A simple timer with a gentle start and end gong. Optional interval bells. Pick a duration, pick an ambient sound, sit down. That's it.
— 12 AMBIENT SOUNDS —
Rain, ocean, forest, brown noise, stream, fire, wind, singing bowls, and more. Mix two at the same time. Studio quality, optimized to ~12 MB.
— PREMIUM, FAIRLY PRICED —
$7.99/month or $49.99/year — roughly a third of the typical premium meditation subscriptions. Lifetime option at $99.99 if you're done with subscriptions. 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime, no surprises.
— PRIVACY FIRST —
No account required. No tracking. No ad networks. TelemetryDeck for anonymous analytics, data stays on your device. HealthKit integration is opt-in.
— BUILT FOR iOS 26 —
Liquid Glass design, Apple Watch standalone, widgets, shortcuts, and HealthKit mindful minutes. Dark mode as default — your eyes will thank you at 6 a.m.
Sylph is built by a single developer who got tired of opening a meditation app only to find a podcast about productivity. If that sounds familiar — welcome.
Inhale. Hold. Exhale.
