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

Hack your brain's own healing system β using nothing but your eyes. Your brain already knows how to process pain. It does this every night during REM sleep, without you lifting a finger. RemHack puts that same power in your hands while you're wide awake: guided eye movements, paired with sound, that get both hemispheres working together to finish what stress left unresolved. RemHack is inspired by EMDR, a clinical method shown to deliver meaningful results in as few as 3 sessions. We've taken that science and made it something you can run yourself, daily, right when you need it. HOW IT WORKS A guided session walks you through structured phases β from identifying what's weighing on you, through sets of bilateral eye movements synced with gentle audio, to anchoring a new, grounded belief. Headphones are recommended for the full bilateral audio effect. Along the way, you can return to a personal safe place whenever you need to, and you'll check in on how disturbing the memory feels as it changes from set to set. Each session takes 15β30 minutes, works independently, and is saved to your history with notes so you can look back on your progress. WHO IT'S FOR Β· Anyone carrying stress, anxiety, or difficult memories Β· People who want to process emotions without talk therapy Β· Those who've tried EMDR and want a daily self-guided tool Β· Anyone curious about how the brain actually heals WHEN TO USE IT Β· Before a stressful event you can't stop thinking about Β· After a difficult conversation or conflict that's still weighing on you Β· When a memory keeps resurfacing and won't let go Β· When anxiety is building up and you need to come back to center Β· When you can't fall asleep because your mind won't quiet down RemHack is a self-help tool, not a medical device. It does not replace professional therapy. If you are experiencing severe trauma or mental health difficulties, please consult a qualified professional. All your data stays on your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: RemHack at none against Box Breathing Relaxing's shown. RemHack also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
