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 call

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.
