Pranava Breathe is a beautifully minimal breathing and meditation app designed to help you find calm, focus, and energy — all in under a few minutes. Choose from a curated library of breathing techniques, each with its own guided visual animation and optional sound cues. Whether you need to wind down before sleep, sharpen your focus before a meeting, or simply take a mindful pause in your day, Pranava Breathe has a technique for you. BREATHING TECHNIQUES Relaxing • Box Breathing — Equal inhale, hold, exhale, hold. Used by Navy SEALs and first responders to quickly calm the nervous system. • 4-7-8 Breathing — A natural tranquilizer for the nervous system, ideal for falling asleep. • Coherent Breathing — Slow, balanced breaths at your body's natural resonant frequency for deep relaxation. • 7-11 Breathing — Breathe in for 7, out for 11. The longer exhale engages the vagus nerve to interrupt anxiety and panic in the moment — no breath holds, easy to sustain. • Triangle Breathing — A gentle three-phase cycle of inhale, hold, and exhale — ideal for beginners and children. • Alternate Nostril — Ancient Nadi Shodhana pranayama that alternates airflow between nostrils to balance the nervous system and calm the mind. • Humming Bee Breath — Inhale deeply, then exhale with a steady Om or humming sound. The vibration boosts nasal nitric oxide by 15x, opening airways and promoting deep calm. • Physiological Sigh — A double inhale followed by a long exhale — the fastest known way to reduce stress in real time, backed by Stanford research. Activating • Breath of Fire — Rapid, rhythmic breathing from Kundalini yoga that boosts energy, alertness, and mental clarity in minutes. • Energizing Breath — Quick, rhythmic breathing to boost alertness and energy without caffeine. Meditation • Mindfulness — Timed meditation sessions from 1 to 30 minutes with adjustable phases. Customize each phase length by dragging handles on the circle timeline. Gentle bell sounds guide you through transitions and mark the end of your session. FEATURES Visual Guidance Follow along with elegant shape animations — squares, triangles, circles, and more — that expand and contract with each breath. A traveling dot traces the shape to keep you perfectly in rhythm. Customizable Sound Choose the sound that works for you. Soft ticks keep time with each second. Tonal cues rise and fall with your breath. Or turn sound off entirely for silent practice. Each technique remembers your sound preference. Adjustable Pacing Fine-tune the speed of your breathing to match your comfort level. Start slow and work your way to longer, deeper breaths as your practice develops. Mindfulness Timer Set your meditation duration and divide it into distinct phases — from grounding and settling to focused attention and open awareness. Drag the handles to adjust how long you spend in each phase. A single bell marks each transition; three bells signal the end. Distraction-Free Design A clean, dark interface keeps you focused on your breath, not your screen. No ads, no accounts, no subscriptions. The screen stays awake during your session so you never lose your place. Start breathing better today.
