Life happens. Just breathe. Twelve breaths to follow. Twelve rooms to settle into. Follow a guided breath through moving visuals, sound and haptics. Choose First Breath, Coherence, Downshift or another practice to fit the moment. Rooms offer another way to spend time here. Step into Golden Grove, Rain Room or Starfish and stay as long as you like. Listen to the room's soundscape or choose a song. Turn your phone sideways for a wide view. There is no count or breathing pattern to follow. Eden suggests a breath from your recent practice and the time of day. Connect Apple Health to include available body readings. With breathe+, Eden writes the reason behind a suggestion, a note alongside your body readings and a line after a session. Ask Eden opens a conversation about your practice, with your recent sessions as context. Past conversations are there to return to. Use widgets for quick access, or follow a breath on Apple Watch. Light sync lets compatible lights follow the breathing rhythm and take on the room's colours. Start with the free breaths and four free rooms. Unlock breathe+ for the full library of breaths, every room and soundscape, custom breaths, light sync and Eden's written guidance, including Ask Eden.
