Breath is a guided breathwork timer and practice journal. Pick a technique, follow the circle as it grows on the inhale and shrinks on the exhale, and save each session with your breath holds, notes and how you felt before and after. 10 TECHNIQUES - Wim Hof Method and Tummo: choose 1 to 10 rounds of 10 to 60 breaths. After the last breath, the hold timer runs until you tap to breathe in, then a 15-second recovery hold leads into the next round. Each round's hold time is recorded. - Box Breathing: 2 to 12 seconds per side, up to 20 cycles - 4-7-8 Breathing: inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8, up to 20 cycles - Coherent Breathing: 5.5 seconds in, 5.5 seconds out - Cyclic Sighing, Pranayama, Holotropic, Custom and Just Breathe: a simple paced timer with a longer exhale that runs until you end the session - Haptic cues follow the rhythm; set them to Off, Subtle, Standard or Strong YOUR PRACTICE LOG - Rate calm, energy and clarity from 1 to 10 before a session (optional) and after it, and see the change - Each saved session keeps the technique, length, rounds or cycles, hold times and your notes - Home shows this week, this month, total hours, your last session and your day streak - Progress shows your sessions, minutes and best hold, a 30-day activity chart and your recent sessions - An optional daily reminder BREATH PRO - Unlimited sessions (free: your first 7 sessions, with every technique) - Hold Progression: a chart of your best hold in each session over time - State Shift: your average change in calm, energy and clarity per session - Technique Comparison: sessions, average length, average hold and average calm and energy change for each technique - AI Coach: ask breathwork questions in your own words, up to 30 a day. To answer, the app sends your question and a short summary of your last five sessions (technique, minutes, best hold) to an AI service. Answers are general information, not medical advice. - 3 alternate app icons SAFETY Breath is a timer and journal, not a medical device. Before Wim Hof and Tummo sessions the app reminds you: never practice in water or while driving, always sit or lie down, and stop if you feel faint. For Holotropic sessions it advises supervision, and not to practice with a cardiovascular condition, epilepsy or during pregnancy. In the US, Breath Pro is $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year (US prices; other countries see their own price in the app). Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.
