It's okay if you don't have a smartwatch. It's okay if you have no earphones, or if you're somewhere too quiet for sound. Just hold your phone in your hand โ gentle vibrations will guide you through the rhythm of box breathing: inhale, hold, exhale, hold. In meeting rooms. On the subway. Under the covers. You can quietly care for yourself, without telling anyone. Aiming to be the smallest possible tool for your peace of mind. No login. No account. No sign-up. Your breathing records stay only on your device. If you'd like, you can save mindfulness sessions to Apple Health. If you'd rather not, everything works just the same.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: buzzbox at none against Zentouch's 1. buzzbox also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
