Breathe Easy

Read full description

Breathe Easy is a breathing timer for iPhone and Apple Watch that keeps going with the screen off: the session stays on the Lock Screen, and on your wrist the watch taps out every phase. Pick a rhythm, lock your iPhone, put it face down and breathe: the sound cues carry on, and the Lock Screen shows the phase. FREE, FOREVER • Box breathing (4·4·4·4) and 4-7-8, unlimited sessions • Singing bowl sound cues, gentle haptics, sessions of 1, 3, 5 or 10 minutes • Start your last practice from a Home Screen or Lock Screen widget. • An optional daily reminder, off until you switch it on. • Works offline. No account, no ads, no analytics: the app collects nothing. PRO, ONE PAYMENT • All 12 practices, box and 4-7-8 plus: coherent breathing, calming exhale, triangle, equal breathing, pursed-lip pacing, long exhale, slow resonance, extended box, physiological sigh and a custom pattern • Your own rhythm: breaths 1 to 20 seconds, holds 0 to 20 seconds • Kalimba, chimes, guitar and handpan sound themes, four more color themes, and every theme added later No subscription, no renewals, nothing to cancel. Pay once and it's yours. ON YOUR WRIST On Apple Watch, Breathe Easy taps out every phase: a rising tap to breathe in, a falling one to breathe out, so you can breathe with your eyes closed. Start it from a watch face complication or, on Apple Watch Ultra, the Action button. The free practices work on the watch on their own; Pro, your custom pattern and your color theme come from your iPhone. WHY IT KEEPS GOING Breathe Easy runs the session like a music player, so your iPhone keeps it going with the screen locked: the Lock Screen shows the phase, Pause and Play, and an End button. CALM BY DESIGN One screen, one orb that breathes with you, a countdown you can read from across the room, and nothing that nags: no streaks, no pop-ups, and the daily reminder stays off unless you turn it on. In English, Ukrainian, Polish, German, Spanish, French and Portuguese.
