One minute to calm. The antidote to chaos is stillness. Most meditation apps have become obstacles to meditation. Hundreds of choices. Subscription tiers. Decision fatigue before you even begin. Being is different. Open it. It starts. No decisions. Just breathing. HOW IT WORKS • Inhale (4 sec) → Hold (1.5 sec) → Exhale (8 sec) → Hold (1.5 sec) • The 2:1 exhale ratio signals your nervous system to relax • Based on Dr. Daniel Amen's clinically-proven 15-second protocol WHAT MAKES BEING DIFFERENT • Gentle taps and sounds guide you with eyes closed • Works on Apple Watch even when screen dims • Works on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV • No subscriptions. No accounts. No tracking. • One minute to calm. Four breathing cycles. That's all it takes. In a world of constant doing, try Being.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Being at Free against Interval Timer Pro's $2.99. Being also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). Interval Timer Pro's advantage is ratings volume (598 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
