Pick a breathing technique, choose how long you have, and follow a gentle ring as it expands and contracts. No feeds, no streaky guilt, no account—just you and your breath. WHICH BREATHING TECHNIQUE SHOULD I USE? Aura includes the methods people search for most, each with the right pace built in: • Box breathing (4-4-4-4) — calm focus before stress, used by athletes and the military • 4-7-8 breathing — wind down and fall asleep faster • Coherent breathing (5-5) — steady the heart rate and lower stress • Relaxing (4-6) — a longer exhale to settle the nervous system • Energizing — a brighter pace for a quick lift HOW IT WORKS • A pacing ring with a per-breath countdown, so you always know when to inhale, hold, and exhale • Sessions from 2 to 20 minutes—your choice, every time • A soft tone rises as you breathe in and falls as you breathe out • Optional spoken guidance for hands-free, eyes-closed sessions • Gentle haptics at each phase SOUND TO HELP YOU SETTLE • Three ambient soundscapes—Aura, Forest, and Night • Keeps playing when your screen is locked, with full lock-screen controls SEE YOUR PROGRESS • Log how you feel after each session • Real stats: minutes, streaks, weekly trends, and a 7-day mood graph • A full history of every session, with favorites to return to DESIGNED TO DISAPPEAR • A calm, glassy interface with a living gradient aurora • Daily reminders so breathwork becomes a habit • Works entirely on your device IS IT PRIVATE?
