Breeze

Breathe in. Breathe out. Feel better. Breeze guides you through ten proven breathing techniques with a living orb that expands, holds and releases with your breath — plus gentle haptics you can follow with your eyes closed. Calm down in one minute, wind down to sleep, or steady yourself before something big. No account. No subscription. Every technique free. EVERY TECHNIQUE, EXPLAINED 4-7-8, box breathing, coherent breathing, extended exhale, equal breathing, triangle breathing, pursed-lip breathing, the sigh of relief, and gentle energizing rhythms. Each one comes with a plain-language explanation of what it is, when to use it, and how it works — no jargon, no course to buy. THE ORB A luminous aurora sphere that breathes with you. It swells on the inhale, holds steady, and softens as you let go, with a countdown ring and the seconds left on every phase. It is the whole guide, and it is beautiful. FOLLOW IT WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED Synchronised haptics rise through the inhale and fade through the exhale, so you can put the phone down and just breathe. It doubles as an accessibility feature. QUICK CALM One tap into sixty seconds of long-exhale breathing. No menus, no choices, no counting — for the moments when you need it now. SLEEP WIND-DOWN A dimming, voice-free session that ends in true silence and darkness. No end chime, no results screen, nothing to tap. Last night's session greets you in the morning instead. FEEL IT WORK An optional two-tap mood check before and after shows your own calm-delta over time — proof from your own data, not promises. Mood values never leave your device. BUILD THE HABIT A daily streak with a weekly grace day, because one missed day shouldn't erase a month. A weekly goal ring, a practice calendar, minutes breathed, seven-day challenges, and two gentle ritual reminders at times you choose. No nagging, ever. MAKE IT YOURS Build custom patterns with your own counts, pick an orb theme (a few unlock with an optional short video), and switch between the Dusk and Morning Mist themes. YOURS AND OFFLINE Breeze works in airplane mode. There is no account, nothing syncs, and your practice history stays on your phone — exportable any time as a plain JSON file you own. Breathing is free. Breeze keeps it that way: every technique, every session length, every mode, included. Breeze is a wellness tool, not medical advice, and it does not diagnose or treat any condition. Talk to a doctor first if you are pregnant, or have a heart, lung or seizure condition. If you are in crisis, breathing exercises are not enough — please reach out for support.
