Beyond Simple Breathing โ Designed for Gradual Training This app goes beyond basic breathing guidance. It is designed to help you gradually improve your breathing capacity. Youโll begin with shorter breathing cycles, and as your training progresses, the durations increase automatically, guiding you toward deeper states of meditation. If you prefer fixed patterns, you can customize the breathing rhythm to suit your needs. Breathing with Music Throughout your meditation, the calm and elegant music of Johann Sebastian Bach accompanies your breath. The harmony between sound and breath leads you toward deeper inner peace. A Background for Immersion Personalize your meditation space by choosing your favorite quote or image as the background. This visual stability enhances focus and deepens your immersive experience.

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 update cadence: buzzbox at weekly against EQ breath's every 3 weeks. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
