TheHold-Breathwork

TheHold is your companion for conscious breathing – from energizing Power Breathing to calm, guided techniques for focus, relaxation and better sleep. Clean, ad-free, and with analytics that really make your progress visible. GUIDED BREATHING TECHNIQUES • Power Breathing – powerful breathing followed by a breath hold. Choose 5 to 100 breaths and your pace. • 4-7-8 – a long exhale to calm you down, ideal before sleep. • Box Breathing – an even rhythm (4-4-4-4) for focus and steady nerves. • Coherent Breathing – slow resonance breathing for balance and heart-rate variability. Inhale/exhale up to 15 s, duration 3–20 minutes. • Extended Exhale – exhale longer than you inhale for deep calm. • Physiological Sigh – the fastest way to release stress in the moment. Every technique explains in one sentence what it does – so you always know why you're breathing. YOUR HEART IN VIEW • Heart-rate recording during every session with Apple Watch – including the guided techniques. • A Heart area with your pulse trend over time, heart-rate variability (HRV) from Apple Health, and pulse recovery after breath holds. • Plain-language explanations for every metric. SOUNDS YOU'LL ACTUALLY LIKE Let each phase guide you – with natural sound recordings (English and German) or in System Sound mode using only subtle vibration. Optional background music and gentle haptics. Adjustable per exercise. PROGRESS THAT MOTIVATES • A clear dashboard with personal best, average hold, streak and a personal goal. • Charts for trend, distribution, rounds and time of day over 7 days, 30 days, 90 days or a year. • A calendar with every completed session and a “Today” view for a quick glance. • A detailed overview of the guided techniques: how often, how long, last practised. APPLE WATCH & APPLE HEALTH • Start sessions right on your Apple Watch – with comfortable controls and tangible haptics. • Completed sessions are saved as mindful minutes in Apple Health. • Your settings are remembered per routine. THOUGHTFUL & PRIVATE • Bilingual: English and German. • A daily reminder to make breathing a habit. • iCloud sync keeps your sessions across all your devices. • No tracking, no ads, no servers of our own – your data stays yours.
