I made this breath work app to memorialize my mother, Eirene — named after the Greek goddess of peace. The fundamental sessions in this app will always be completely zero-cost, ad-free, function without any need to create any accounts, and will never track or sell people's information in any way. Because I hate all that stuff. Guided tummo breath work exercises for beginner, intermediate, and advanced practitioners. Open the app, pick one, go. On-screen animation with optional haptic cues that guide each breath, so you can practice with your eyes open or closed. It features a pre-session safety guide that precedes each session to remind folks about practicing safely.

DeepBreath

Features
Read full description

DeepBreath guides you through Wim Hof-inspired breathing cycles — systematic rounds of controlled hyperventilation followed by precise breath retention — designed to boost energy, sharpen focus, and build stress resilience. HOW IT WORKS Each session consists of configurable rounds of deep, rhythmic breaths followed by a breath-hold (retention) phase and a brief recovery breath. The app tracks your retention time each round and shows your progress over time. KEY FEATURES • Configurable rounds (1–10) and breaths per round (20–50) • Real-time animated breathing guide with phase cues • Haptic feedback synced to your breath rhythm • Ambient sound options: Silence, Rain, Binaural Beats, Pink Noise, Tibetan Bowl • Session history with charts (daily count, retention trend) • Structured programs: 7-Day Beginner, 14-Day Intermediate • Siri integration — start a session hands-free • Daily reminder notifications SAFETY NOTICE Controlled hyperventilation causes real physiological changes including reduced blood CO₂, lightheadedness, and tingling. Always practice seated or lying down. Never practice while driving, in water, or standing. Consult a physician if you have cardiovascular disease, epilepsy, or are pregnant.
