478 Breath vs Downshift

478 Breath is a minimalist guided breathing app that pairs the classic 4-7-8 technique with your Apple Health heart rate variability (HRV) data — so you don't just practice, you see the effect. — A breathing nebula — No rigid expanding circle. The home screen is a living nebula that gently pulses at your recent breathing rate, its color shifting with today's HRV. Inhale, hold, and exhale along with it. — Multiple rhythms — 4-7-8 (classic calm), 4-4-6 (beginner), 4-8-8 (longer hold), 4-8-10 (deepest relaxation). Set any length from 1 to 30 minutes, with voice guidance that follows your system language. — See your change — With Apple Watch, the app reads your HRV before and after a session and charts your trend across Today, 30 days, 12 months, and beyond — real data to keep you going. — Privacy first — Everything stays on your device. No account, no ads, no third-party tracking. None of your data ever leaves your iPhone. 478 Breath is for relaxation and personal wellness only and is not medical advice. — 478 Breath Premium (optional subscription) — Unlocks all breathing rhythms, sessions beyond 10 minutes or unlimited, all ambient soundscapes, and adaptive HRV alerts. US$0.99/month or US$9.99/year. Eligible new subscribers may receive a 1-month free trial; prices may vary by region. The yearly plan costs less than paying monthly — the paywall shows exactly how much you save in your region. Payment is charged to your Apple account; subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in App Store settings.

Downshift offers guided breathing exercises for the moments you feel tense or stressed — box breathing, 4-7-8, resonance breathing and the physiological sigh — plus progressive muscle relaxation, a body scan and, with a watch or tracker, a daily nervous-system reading from your Apple Health data. Breathe along. Follow the animated orb through guided patterns: the Physiological Sigh, Resonance breathing, Box, 4-7-8, and more. Gentle haptics mark every inhale and exhale, so you can do it with your eyes closed. Build a daily rhythm.

Log your tension morning and evening and watch the trend over time. Let go of physical tension. Guided progressive muscle relaxation walks you head-to-toe. On your wrist and your Home Screen. A standalone Apple Watch app with guided breathing, complications, and your reading at a glance — plus Home and Lock Screen widgets. Yours, and private. Your Apple Health data stays on your device.
