Beyond Simple Breathing — Designed for Gradual Training This app goes beyond basic breathing guidance. It is designed to help you gradually improve your breathing capacity. You’ll 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.

DeepBreath guides you through Wim Hof-inspired breathing cycles — systematic rounds of controlled hyperventilation followed by precise breath retention — designed to boost energy, sharpen focus, and build stress resilience. HOW IT WORKS Each session consists of configurable rounds of deep, rhythmic breaths followed by a breath-hold (retention) phase and a brief recovery breath. The app tracks your retention time each round and shows your progress over time. KEY FEATURES • Configurable rounds (1–10) and breaths per round (20–50) • Real-time animated breathing guide with phase cues • Haptic feedback synced to your breath rhythm • Ambient sound options: Silence, Rain, Binaural Beats, Pink Noise, Tibetan Bowl • Session history with charts (daily count, retention trend) • Structured programs: 7-Day Beginner, 14-Day Intermediate • Siri integration — start a session hands-free • Daily reminder notifications SAFETY NOTICE Controlled hyperventilation causes real physiological changes including reduced blood CO₂, lightheadedness, and tingling. Always practice seated or lying down. Never practice while driving, in water, or standing. Consult a physician if you have cardiovascular disease, epilepsy, or are pregnant.
