Breathe better in three minutes a day. Prana Breath turns classic pranayama into a simple, guided practice: pick how you want to feel, follow the animated breath circle, and let the app handle the counting, the cues and the timing. WHY PEOPLE KEEP COMING BACK • Zero setup — open the app, tap one card, start breathing • Every session is guided by sound, haptics and a calm visual rhythm • Works offline, no account required to practise EIGHT GUIDED PROGRAMS Clear Mind · Relax · Calming · Power · Harmony · Anti-Stress · Anti-Appetite · Cigarette Replace Choose a goal — stress, sleep, focus or anxiety — and each program adapts its length and pacing to what you came for. FULL CONTROL OF YOUR BREATH Build your own pattern with all four phases: inhale, retain, exhale and sustain. Set any ratio you like — 4-4-4-4 box breathing, 4-7-8 for winding down, long-exhale ratios for calm, or your teacher's own sequence. Adjust cycles, ratios and round counts, then save it as a custom pattern. DEEP BREATHWORK SESSIONS Longer guided journeys with rounds of deep breathing, breath holds and recovery, inspired by Bhastrika pranayama practice. Adjustable speed, on-screen round tracking and a safety briefing before you begin. FOCUS, NOT JUST CALM • Pranadoro — a focus timer that puts a real breathing break between work blocks • Prana Focus — a distraction-free timer for deep work sessions • Breathing Stories — short guided narratives to follow when you don't want to think SEE YOUR PROGRESS Charts and statistics for sessions, minutes, streaks and consistency. Export your log any time. Home-screen widgets keep your streak in view, and a Live Activity shows the current phase right on your Lock Screen while you practise. APPLE HEALTH Write your breathing sessions to Apple Health as mindful minutes and read your respiratory rate back — all opt-in, and only with your permission. STAY CONSISTENT Flexible reminders for any time of day, plus a motivator library of short prompts to nudge you back to the cushion. MAKE IT YOURS Nine hand-tuned themes with full light and dark support, alternate app icons, per-phase background sounds and metronome cues, and haptics you can dial in or switch off completely. A COMMUNITY THAT BREATHES TOO Join rooms to share how a practice went, react to others and follow along — or keep the app entirely to yourself. PRANA BREATH PREMIUM Premium unlocks unlimited custom patterns, the full breathwork and story libraries, advanced insights and every theme. Available as a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Prana Breath supports a general wellness and relaxation practice. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition. If you are pregnant, have a heart or respiratory condition, or feel unwell, talk to a doctor before starting breath-hold practice — and never practise breath holds in or near water.
