In. Hold. Out. Hold. BreatheBox guides box breathing: four equal sides, four or five seconds each. Choose a preset, settle for three seconds, breathe, and leave. No streaks, no confetti, nothing on screen that isn't needed for the breath. FOUR PRESETS • Reset. 4 cycles, about a minute. Before a call. • Settle. 11 cycles, about three minutes. Between tasks. • Session. 19 cycles, about five minutes. Daily practice. • Deep. 37 cycles, about ten minutes. Wind down. GUIDED THE WAY YOU WANT Four channels, each independently on or off. • Voice. A calm recorded human voice, words only at each phase change, with optional counts. • Sound. Soundscapes whose texture shifts with each phase: Drone, Rain and Ocean, plus an optional soft chime at each corner. • Visual. Box trace, Shoreline, Orb or Horizon. Holds read as stillness, never as a frozen screen. • Haptics. A distinct tap pattern for each phase, so it works with your eyes closed and the phone in a pocket. PRIVACY IS A FEATURE No account. No ads. No analytics or tracking. Your settings stay on your phone and the app works offline. FREE, WITH ONE OPTIONAL PURCHASE Every preset, the Box trace visual, one voice and one soundscape are free. BreatheBox Pro is a single one-time purchase that unlocks every visual, soundscape and voice. Nothing renews, nothing to cancel. A quiet note: holding your breath can make you lightheaded. Stop if you feel dizzy, and never practise while driving. BreatheBox keeps time; it is not medical advice.
