Most breathwork apps want your email, your name, and a year-long commitment before you've taken your first breath. Tether does the opposite. Open the app. Pick a goal. Take three minutes. That's it. LIVE BIOMETRIC FEEDBACK If you wear an Apple Watch, Tether reads your heart rate and HRV in real time during sessions, so you can see how your body responds during and after each one. Your health data is never sent to us or to anyone else; your session history syncs only through your own private iCloud. GUIDED BREATHING THAT ACTUALLY GUIDES Twenty exercises across four categories — Calm, Sleep, Energy, Recover. From Box Breathing for focus to Wim Hof for activation, each one has a voice guide, breath sounds, and an ambient soundbed. Three duration tiers (3, 5, or 10 minutes) so a session fits whatever time you actually have. THE LIVING ORB The breathing visualization is a hand-tuned canvas that pulses with your inhale and exhale. Not a video, not a stock animation — calculated frame-by-frame so it stays in lockstep with the audio guide. JOURNEY DASHBOARD Track your streak, see HRV trends over weeks, get a monthly recap shareable in one tap. Synced privately to your iCloud — no account, no backend. SEND A CALM Tap once after a session to share the breath you just did with a friend. PRIVACY-FIRST We don't ask for your email. We don't ask for your phone number. We don't show ads. We don't sell your data — there's nothing to sell. Anonymous usage analytics only, fully disclosed in our Privacy Policy. — Subscription auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Reminder to seek a doctor’s advice in addition to using this app and before making any medical decisions.

Breath Weavers meets you where you are and helps you shift your nervous system in the right direction. Tell it what's going on, how you feel right now and how you want to feel. From there it does the rest, weaving simple, science-backed breathing patterns into a guided session shaped for your moment. No endless menu of sessions to pick from. No streaks, scores, or programs waiting for you to fall behind. Nothing for you to do but breathe.
