Box Breathing Relaxing is a simple guided breathing app that helps you find calm, regain focus, and build a steady breathing routine on iPhone and Apple Watch. Follow the classic box breathing rhythm: inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds, and hold again for 4 seconds. A clear visual guide, optional sounds, and haptic cues help you stay with the timing without needing to watch the screen. Start a session on your Apple Watch and feel gentle haptic cues on your wrist as each breathing phase changes. It is an easy way to practice when you want to put your iPhone aside. Choose a session length and begin with one tap. Use it before work, during a study break, after a stressful moment, or as a quiet routine before sleep. Completed sessions are saved automatically. Review your history in a calendar or graph, and switch between daily and monthly summaries to see your breathing time and progress. You can also save completed sessions to Apple Health as mindful minutes. No complicated courses or busy dashboardsβjust a calm box breathing timer for focus, meditation, relaxation, stress relief, and everyday mindfulness.

RemHack helps you process difficult memories using an EMDR-inspired technique β from the comfort of your own home. Your brain is wired to heal. When a traumatic or distressing memory gets "stuck," it stays raw β as if the experience is still happening. Bilateral stimulation, the core mechanism behind EMDR therapy, helps your nervous system complete what it couldn't finish. RemHack puts that process in your hands. How it works: RemHack guides you through a structured 9-phase protocol. You identify the memory, rate your distress, and work through bilateral stimulation sets β alternating audio, visual tracking, and haptic feedback β until the emotional charge diminishes. Then you anchor a positive belief and close the session with grounding. Features: β’ Guided 9-phase EMDR-inspired sessions β’ Bilateral audio β sound alternates between left and right ear β’ Synchronized haptic feedback β’ Visual eye-movement tracking β’ Session history with SUD & VOC progress tracking β’ Available in 11 languages Wear headphones. The bilateral audio effect requires stereo headphones. This is not optional β it is the core of the experience. One-time purchase. No subscription, no monthly fees. Pay once and own RemHack forever. Everything unlocks permanently. RemHack is a self-guided wellness tool, not a replacement for professional mental health care. If you are experiencing severe or complex trauma, please work with a licensed therapist.
