A box breathing & 4-7-8 timer that respects your time and privacy. Use guided techniques for calm, better sleep, stress relief, and focus—with a haptic breath pacer, smart reminders, custom routines, and optional Apple Health integration. No ads. No tracking. No subscription. BREATHING TECHNIQUES FOR EVERY MOMENT Each pattern includes a clear explanation of why it works and when to use it: • Box Breathing — focus and grounding using the tactical breathing rhythm practiced by first responders and athletes • 4-7-8 Relaxation — a long-exhale technique to help you fall asleep and unwind after a difficult day • Deep Calm — a 4-2-6 mental reset for anxious moments and quick pauses • Coherent Breathing — a balanced 5-in, 5-out rhythm for everyday practice • Extended Exhale — a longer exhale designed to ease anxiety, panic, and stress loops • Resonance Breathing — a precise pace within the HRV biofeedback range • More patterns for sleep, energy, relaxation, and deep focus A HAPTIC BREATH PACER A single animated breathing ring guides each inhale, hold, and exhale. Close your eyes and follow voice cues or gentle haptic taps. Breo keeps your screen awake during sessions. Pause, resume, end, or extend your session whenever you need. YOUR PRACTICE, YOUR WAY • Save your favorite patterns for quick access • Set reminders for weekdays, weekends, or any combination • Create custom breathing patterns with your own timings • See your recent practice and total minutes of calm • Optionally save completed sessions to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes PRIVACY FIRST Your practice history is stored locally on your device. Breo doesn’t collect analytics, usage data, or breathing history, and it works without an account. If you choose to connect Apple Health, Breo requests write-only access to save completed breathing sessions as Mindful Minutes. Breo does not read your other Health data. UNLOCK MORE The free version includes core patterns with full functionality. Upgrade once—no subscription or recurring fees—to unlock more breathing patterns, the custom pattern builder, and deeper session customization.

Geara tracks the miles and segments on your running shoes — synced straight from Strava — so you always know how your shoes are performing, when it's time to retire a pair, and you never lose track of what's in rotation. TRACK EVERY MILE Connect your Strava account and Geara will automatically pull your runs and any shoes you have linked. Or assign your shoes on Geara! See weekly mileage trends, a rotation heatmap of which shoes you're wearing on which days, and per-shoe wear charts over time. KNOW WHEN TO RETIRE A PAIR Set mileage goals per shoe and get a clear picture of wear before it becomes an injury risk. Compare two shoes side-by-side with fitness-adjusted performance trends to see how your times hold up as mileage builds. BUILD YOUR GEAR HISTORY Log every shoe you've run in, track colorways, and celebrate milestones — Geara marks your achievements (distance, elevation gained, and more) with shareable cards built for posting. DISCOVER AND REVIEW Browse shoe reviews from the community — star ratings, pros/cons, and real mileage-at-review data — before you buy your next pair. STAY CONNECTED Follow other runners, share your gear and milestones, and comment on posts from people training like you. Geara syncs read-only with Strava — we never post on your behalf.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Geara at none against Breo's 1. Breo's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Breo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Geara asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Breo against 5.0 for Geara. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Breo has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
