Deflare is the breathing intervention tool built specifically for POTS and dysautonomia. Not a tracker. Not a diary. The app you reach for when your heart is racing, you're dizzy, or you need to prep for standing up. FEEL BETTER IN 30 SECONDS The Physiological Sigh — a clinically proven double-inhale technique — can interrupt a tachycardia episode in under a minute. No other POTS app offers this. WATCH YOUR HEART RATE DROP IN REAL TIME Connect Apple Health to see live heart rate biofeedback during breathing sessions. Watch your HR come down as you breathe. Share your results on social media with a branded card showing your before and after. 7 EVIDENCE-BASED BREATHING PROTOCOLS - Physiological Sigh (30 sec, free) — acute relief - Emergency Stabilize (3 min, free) — crisis breathing - Stabilize (5 min, free) — daily anchor - Calm (5 min) — racing mind - Deep Calm (10 min) — sustained downregulation - Recover (10 min) — deeper reset - Evening Rest (8 min) — sleep prep FLARE STABILIZATION FLOW Step-by-step guidance when you're crashing: lie down, breathe, hydrate, add salt, cool down, recovery timeline. Built for the moment you need it most. MORNING PREP ROUTINE A 2-minute guided pre-standing sequence: muscle activation, breathing, and a controlled transition to upright. No other app offers this. CHOP-ALIGNED BUILD PROGRAM Progressive breathing capacity training across 3 levels, aligned with the CHOP Modified Dallas Protocol — the most evidence-based exercise program for POTS. 12 GUIDED AUDIO SESSIONS Text-to-speech guided sessions for flare recovery, circulation support, standing prep, bedtime downshift, progressive relaxation, and more. SMART RECOMMENDATIONS Check in with how you're feeling — calm, wired, tired, dizzy, anxious, overstimulated, or crashing — and get matched to the right protocol. High-distress states always get free protocols first. You'll never hit a paywall during a crisis. HYPERVENTILATION SAFETY The only POTS app that asks about hyperventilation subtype and shows safety reminders during sessions. Because 50% of POTS patients get worse with deep breathing. EDUCATION LIBRARY 14 articles covering POTS management, the science of slow breathing, HRV, the push-crash cycle, CHOP protocol, hydration, and sleep. PRIVACY FIRST - No account required - All data stored locally on your device - No tracking, no analytics, no cloud - HealthKit access is optional PREMIUM Free protocols cover acute relief and daily practice. Premium unlocks extended sessions, the Build program, and all guided audio for the cost of one coffee per month. Deflare is not a medical device. Breathing exercises are complementary practices and do not replace medical care. Always consult your care team. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
