Read full descriptionHide full description
Breathe at your own rhythm. Soft Count is a breathing app you can shape around yourself — from session length and breathing rhythm to visuals and haptics. Whether you want a one-minute reset or a longer, slower session, choose the rhythm that fits the moment: Natural, Relaxation, Zen, Resonant, or Calming. • Start right from a Home Screen widget with your preferred time and breathing rhythm • Choose 1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes • Change breathing rhythms during a session without losing your remaining time or progress • Use Focus Studio to adjust rings, markers, display layers, glow, thickness, size, rotation, and more in real time • Follow inhale, hold, exhale, and other breathing phases through haptic guidance • Set daily breathing reminders • Choose System, Light, or Dark appearance • Switch the app language from inside Soft Count, including support for right-to-left languages Soft Count is not here to force you into one prescribed way of breathing. It gives you the freedom to choose the breathing experience that feels right for you.

Bike Dynamics turns your Apple Watch into a sensor for mountain biking. Mount it securely to your handlebar, start a ride and turn raw motion, GPS and bike data into a detailed picture of what happened on the trail.

RIDE ANALYSIS • Replay your full ride with map, speed and event timeline • Detect jumps, corners and control moments • Track airtime, jump distance and takeoff speed • Review speed changes and slowdown zones • See ride summaries and standout moments TRAIL INTELLIGENCE Bike Dynamics can recognize repeated trail sections across your rides. Compare matched runs, see your fastest time and understand how consistently the same features were detected. RECORDS Build a personal archive across your rides, including: • Jump distance • Airtime • Takeoff speed • Drop and trajectory metrics • Backwheel and control metrics • Ride and trail performance APPLE WATCH RECORDING For the highest recording quality, mount your Apple Watch rigidly to the handlebar. Bike Dynamics uses high-frequency motion data together with GPS and, when available, compatible bike telemetry. Supported setups include: • Apple Watch + bike telemetry • Apple Watch only • iPhone-only recording with reduced precision Compatible bike data depends on the hardware and available Bluetooth services. AI COACH Discuss a ride directly with Coach. Bike Dynamics can use your ride data as context to help you reflect on technique, confidence, consistency and possible next steps. Coach uses supported Apple Intelligence models on compatible devices. Your rides remain the basis of the conversation. HONEST DATA Bike Dynamics distinguishes between measured, calculated and estimated values. Metrics are only shown when the available sensor data supports them. EXPORT You can directly export your rides to strava. Only two clicks required. Bike Dynamics is built for riders who want more than a GPS track, from downhill and enduro sessions to jump lines, repeated trails and everyday progression.
