Exhale is a beautifully simple breathing companion built around one idea: a longer exhale calms your nervous system. Follow a softly glowing orb as it expands and contracts, and let subtle haptic taps guide every inhale, hold, and exhale — so you can close your eyes and just breathe. Whether you need to unwind before sleep, steady yourself before a big moment, or take a mindful pause in a busy day, Exhale meets you where you are. Three exhale-weighted presets • Calm — a gentle, everyday pace to soften stress • Balanced — an even rhythm to center and focus • Deep — long, slow exhales for deep relaxation Make it your own Create a custom breath pattern with your own inhale, exhale, and hold timings — with optional progressive slowing that eases you into a deeper state as your session unfolds. Designed to disappear A calm, dark interface and a single expanding orb keep your focus on the breath, not the screen. Synchronized Core Haptics let you follow along with your eyes closed. Your mindfulness, in Apple Health Every completed session is logged as mindful minutes in Apple Health, so your breathing practice becomes part of your overall wellbeing. Private by design No account. No ads. No tracking. Your practice stays yours. Take a breath. Then take a longer one out.
