SlowFlow is your calm, private breathing companion. Slow down, breathe better, and build a simple daily practice with guided sessions inspired by the Buteyko method and by Léon Guillarme's resisted-exhalation approach. WHY SLOWFLOW • Guided sessions with clear inhale / hold / exhale cues, gentle haptics and optional sounds. • Quick situational protocols for the moments that matter: calm down, sharpen focus, wind down before sleep, ease tension, unblock your nose, and classic box breathing 4-4-4-4. • Control Pause (CP) test to measure and follow your progress over time on a simple chart. • Built-in presets plus your own custom routines — choose phases, holds, cycles and reminders. • Profiles for the whole family, each with its own history and settings. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Works fully offline. No account, no login, no sign-up. • Your data stays on your device. No analytics, no tracking — nothing is sold or shared. MADE TO FEEL CALM • Light and dark themes, large touch targets, readable typography and screen-reader support. • Available in 8 languages: English, Polish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Chinese. A FEW MINUTES A DAY Whether you want to start the morning grounded, reset after a stressful moment, or drift off more easily at night, SlowFlow gives you a gentle, structured way to come back to your breath. SlowFlow is a wellness and relaxation tool to support a calmer breathing practice. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat or cure any condition. Breathing exercises are not suitable for everyone — if you are pregnant or have a medical condition, please talk to a healthcare professional first.
