Biofeedback is the future and the future is now - for everyone. No additional body sensors are needed anymore! Just take your iPhone and start VaYou. VaYou Breath is innovative sound biofeedback. The app connects you directly with yourself by transforming your abdominal breathing into dynamically generated sounds. It is very simple! You breathe relaxed and VaYou generates sounds from it - directly shaped by your breathing. With the help of real-time biofeedback, your breath, mind and heart increasingly flow as one. VaYou Breath integrates with Apple Health by updating your values for resting heart rate, respiratory rate, and mindful minutes. Key VaYou benefits • Biometric Integration - VaYou provides advanced real-time breath and pulse detection without the need for additional wearables or expensive medical sensors. • We have gone to the technical limits. VaYou converts the iOS motion/acceleration sensor data stream into high quality biosignals for breath and pulse (pulse only in lying position). • In order to support the relaxation process, the VaYou algorithms learn from your biosignals and derived parameters how to best design the sounds so that they are most effective for you at that moment. • No online connection needed while using - activate airplane mode for an undisturbed and healthy experience! No other app or desktop software provides biofeedback like VaYou Breath. Just listening to the breath-generated sounds leads you into a very personal flow experience. Your consciousness is more and more "absorbed" by the process, your thoughts come to rest. The mental state can be described as relaxed and calming breath mindfulness. It is almost automatic to "stay with the breath", easily and effortless. Unlike with apps where you have to understand and follow spoken instructions, with VaYou Breath you can "switch off" right from the start. The resulting flow experience brings body and mind into harmony and this has a regenerating effect. The regular use of VaYou Breath can have a generally positive effect on body and mind. Some of the reported effects are • Calming the flow of thoughts • Reduction of stress levels • Self regulation of the heart and breathing activity • Increase of creativity • Improvement of mood • Improvement of sleep. IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT: Put on good headphones and choose one of the perfected Sound~Flows. Then select the duration, press START and place the iPhone on your lower abdomen, just below the navel. (It's usually better to loosen a belt if you wear one and slide the iPhone halfway into the belt line of your trousers or skirt.) Keep breathing and listening! LIVE 1 and LIVE 2 is the app's main biofeedback mode. To be even more flexible, there is also a PACING mode, in which an adjustable breathing rhythm is played, which you simply breathe along. Without the need to look at the screen. It is actually very easy to get into your personal "Flow~Breathing" and to experience and enjoy the balancing positive effect. WHAT YOU GET: ▪ The VaYou biofeedback algorithm that turns your breathing movements into amazing Sound~Flows ▪ The "Flow Journey" Sound~Flow, which guides you through a universe of different breath~sound experiences up to 30 minutes duration ▪ The "Four Fully" Sound~Flow for very effective and recreational short breaks ▪ All other Sound~Flows can be downloaded as in-app purchases within the app. And of course you get them for your LIFETIME, even if you change or loose your device. PRICES: • No subscription, no automatic renewal • No hidden costs or unnecessarily large packages • You only pay what you really like and want.

Tatsächlich sind jedoch nur zwei enthalten, alle weiteren kosten extra (ca. 2–4 € pro App). Da ich ohnehin nur an zwei Apps interessiert war, hätte ich sie direkt einzeln gekauft. So waren die 9,99 € im Nachhinein unnötig. In der Beschreibung wird leider nicht klar angegeben, wie viele Apps tatsächlich enthalten sind. ### 5/5 — Best breathing app I've used *2025-12-26* The biofeedback is amazing. It's takes the having to concentrate challenge out of slow breathing. when I'm dealing with stressful situations I can't control. I find it calming to have something I can control with my breathing. It does this in a doesn't require thinking about timing or having to listen to a voice. My favorite way to use Vayou is to lay down, using the mode that plays audio based on sensing as you breath in and out. Then I work breathing as slow as possible. It creates a "game" that's easy to learn, but can always be improved on. I try inhale as slow as possible to make the sound of the waves hitting the beach happen slowly. I really appreciate that the waves sound goes for 1-2 to seconds after I finish inhaling because I can automatically start exhaling as soon as the sound finishes and will have held my breath in just long enough. On exhale I try to make the waves receding sound take as long as possible too. Just like with inhaling, I wait until the wind sound finishes to inhale again. **Developer response:** Dear Kevin, thank you so much for your feedback! You have described the key point of VaYou in a very beautiful and clear way. We cannot always control everything, sometimes not even where our thoughts take us. However, with breathing, we can always change something and make a difference that then has a positive effect on the rest of our body~mind quite quickly. That's the key point of the whole thing. Some users even use it to balance such difficult situations as flashbacks of PTSD. You seem to really enjoy deepening your breathing and slowing it down to the point where you take proper breath breaks that coincide with the biofeedback sounds. Very healthy! It is always exciting for us to learn how differently VaYou is used. Slowed down (to the extreme), slightly deepened, naturally relaxed, or even slightly sped up and falling asleep. From your description, it sounds like you are using the sound~flow "Wind & Waves" with the LIVE 2 setting, where you hear the waves as you inhale and the wind as you exhale. Yes, some people prefer "Wind & Waves" this way rather than the other way round with the LIVE 1 setting. There are so many ways to use VaYou to your advantage and we wish you to deeply enjoy the way you “Youse" it! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-09-25* The biofeedback really helps me slow my breathing and reduces my anxiety. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for sharing that VaYou Biofeedback helps you so much! All the best for you and good flowing! ### 5/5 — Tolle App. Schöne Erfahrungen *2025-06-23, version VaYou 2.21.3* Die App ist einfach gut und die Musik/ Töne führen in einen besonderen Zustand der Entspannung. Die Atmung wird bewusst und vertieft. Eine App von einem Musiker und einem tollen Team. Weiter so! ### 5/5 — Mega! *2025-04-15, version VaYou 2.21.3* Hammer! Keine Meditation entspannt mich so tief und so schnell wie diese App! Ich liebe es!! Und: Hab wegen einer Frage den Entwickler kontaktiert und prompt eine persönliche Antwort und Support bekommen. Kein Chat Bot oder sowas. Wo gibt es heute noch so was? Top!!! ### 5/5 — Unerreicht! *2025-03-31* Ich habe diese App schon sehr lange in meiner Sammlung. Und ich bin auch schon sehr lange in Sachen „Atem Apps“ unterwegs. Nachdem VaYou, zu Gunsten anderer Apps, lange Zeit in der Versenkung verschwunden war, habe ich sie nun wieder hervorgeholt. Und nun wird sie auch definitiv vorne bleiben! Nach all den Jahren stelle ich fest: VaYou ist im Bereich Atmen/Meditation unübertroffen! Mehr gibt es nicht zu sagen! Es ist eine App, welche man definitiv erfahren muss! **Developer response:** Herzlichen Dank für Ihr schönes Feedback! Wir wünschen noch viele weitere gute Atemmeditationen und alles Gute im VaYou ~ flow ~ ### 5/5 — Sehr empfehlenswert *2025-03-16, version VaYou 2.21.3* Bereits nach kurzer Zeit hat VaYou meinen Atemfluss deutlich verbessert. Durch Schonhaltung nach einer Wirbelsäulen OP habe ich große Schwierigkeiten insbesondere bei der Ausatmung. Ich habe mit wenig Erfolg zahlreiche konventionelle Techniken ausprobiert. Vayou bringt mich zurück zum natürlichen Atemreflex und der Entspannung der Atemmuskulatur. Bin absolut begeistert ### 4/5 — Hat Potenzial für mehr Details *2025-03-05, version VaYou 2.21.3* Die App gefällt mir gut, ich nutze sie täglich. Der Ruhepuls wird tatsächlich nur sehr selten aufgezeichnet, das könnte besser funktionieren und ich vermisse in der Übersichtsanzeige die Auflistung des Verhältnisses von Ein-/Ausatmung. ### 5/5 — Genial! *2025-01-20* Super interessant, schön gemacht und absolut angenehm 🥰 Gefällt mir sehr 👍 Die Infos zur Sitzung find ich sehr spannend 😊 Da gibt es eine unbedingte Weiterempfehlung… freu mich, die App regelmäßig zu nutzen. Wahnsinn, was alles möglich ist. Eine ganz andere lohnenswerte Erfahrung durch die App und eine sinnvolle erholsame Zeit für mich ❤️🥰 Herzlichen Dank ! Und weil ich so begeistert bin, brauchte ich gleich noch paar mehr Sounds ❤️ Unglaublich schön und nützlich 🤗👍 Einfach zauberhaft und wirkungsvoll ❤️ **Developer response:** Vielen herzlichen Dank für Dein bekräftigendes Feedback! Wir haben auch einige interessante neue Sound~flows in Arbeit, die heuer erscheinen werden. Wir wünschen viele wohltuende Flow~Erfahrungen ! ### 2/5 — Teuer und trotzdem Werbung *2025-01-20, version VaYou 2.21.3* Mir wurde die App therapeutisch empfohlen. An sich finde ich es ein gute Sache, aber 10€ für die App mit nur einem Sound finde ich happig. Jeder weitere Sound muss dann einzeln gekauft werden. Und es gibt keine Liste der enthaltenen & gekauften Sounds, man muss dann durch alle „ungekauften“ durchklicken bis man zu dem kommt den man eigentlich nutzen möchte. Testen kann man auch nichts. Obwohl man dafür Geld bezahlt wird man trotzdem mit Werbung für andere kostenpflichtige Apps belästigt. Geht garnicht! Entspannend wird es wenn man die Kopfhörer in den Ohren hat aber die Rundumnutzung ist nicht nutzerfreundlich und nervensystembelastend. Dafür finde ich den Preis nicht gerechtfertigt. Einen zweiten Stern weil ich die Idee an sich gut und hilfreich finde. ## Frequently asked questions about VaYou Biofeedback Meditation ### What does VaYou Biofeedback Meditation do?

FYI: VaYou still works all the way back to iOS 10. The fact that you can still use an iPhone 5 or an older, small and lightweight iPod touch for VaYou biofeedback is something that cannot be taken for granted. But there is an end to this. Apple told us, later this year iOS 13 will be the minimum supported iOS version. And from spring 2027 on, iOS 15 will be the minimum supported iOS version for apps. We will only be able to support iOS 10, 11, and 12 for a short time longer. Please prepare yourself for this change if you're using an older device with VaYou. ▪ We are always happy about your feedback, questions and your wishes.
