Breathwork, reimagined. Most apps hand you a menu of techniques and leave the rest to you. 1breath gives you Arcs — short, designed journeys that take you from where you are to where you want to be. Don't do a breathing exercise. Enter a state on purpose. ARCS — PICK WHERE YOU WANT TO GO • Come Online — wake up, clear the fog, start the day on purpose • Reset — discharge tension and reset your state (free) • Calm — bring it down when it's too much at once (free) • Lock In — drop into focused, sustained work • In Rhythm — settle into the body's resonant pace for a full session • Steady the Nerves — settle and ground before you speak • Before the Shot — find your tempo and commit (for the range, the tee, the line) • Between Meetings — close the last call out, walk into the next one clear • Afternoon Lift — through the midday slump without another coffee • Sigh It Out — the body's own release valve, used on purpose • Cool Down — let the heat pass after a hard moment • Wind Down — let the day go and sink toward sleep • Recover — come down after intensity Each arc moves through three phases — a beginning, a middle, and an end — that change on purpose. Choose Short, Medium, or Long to fit the time you have. SEE IT WORK • Your heart rate, before vs. during each session — straight from Apple Watch data in Health (opt-in) • A 12-week practice heatmap and current streak • Your longest breath-hold over time • "Felt better" insights from your one-tap check-ins • Share your streak, totals, or practice grid as a card RIGHT NOW — FOR THE MOMENT YOU CAN'T WAIT • Power Reset — shake off tension in 60 seconds • Quick Energize — wake up fast, no caffeine • Emergency Calm — stop the spin with a long, slow exhale STAYS WITH YOU • Apple Health — sessions count as Mindful Minutes, and your check-ins log as State of Mind (opt-in) • An optional daily reminder, tuned to the time of day • Home Screen widgets, a Lock Screen Live Activity, and Siri Shortcuts for every Arc EXPLORE — THE FULL LIBRARY All 15 techniques — Box Breathing, 4-7-8, Resonant, Alternate Nostril, and more — whenever you want to go deeper. HOW IT WORKS A visual breathing circle grows on the inhale and shrinks on the exhale. Bell-tone chimes and haptic pulses mark each phase, so you can close your eyes and just follow along. No voice. No clutter. No fake neuroscience. 1BREATH+ ($14.99, ONE-TIME — NO SUBSCRIPTION) • All thirteen arcs + every length • The full technique library • The analytics dashboard — heatmap, heart-rate response, charts, and sharing • Session history & streaks • iCloud sync across your devices Reset and Calm are free, forever. 1breath helps you breathe with intention. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition.
