BreathLoop turns your iPhone or iPad into a breathing pacer. A full screen circle grows as you inhale, rests on the hold, and settles as you exhale, while gentle haptic taps keep the rhythm for you. Pick a pattern, pick a length from 1 to 20 minutes, and follow. No counting, no guesswork. The circle and the taps carry the rhythm, so you can breathe with your eyes open or closed. WHAT YOU GET - Guided visual breathing: a calm animated circle paces every inhale, hold, and exhale - Proven patterns built in: Box 4-4-4-4, 4-7-8, Coherent 5.5-5.5, and Calm 4-6 - Haptic pacing: a distinct tap for each phase change - Pause and resume any live session without losing practiced time - Mood check before and after each session, with self-reported movement computed from your own data - Optional check-in free practice for immediate starts and automatic saving - Session history: minutes per day and mood movement on clean charts - Daily reminder: one gentle nudge at the time you choose - Guided moments: quick reset, focus break, and wind down routines - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for one tap free breathing sessions - Weekly pulse: practice days, minutes, sessions, and a Pro comparison with last week - Local backup and additive restore in a JSON file you control - Personal pattern coach based only on rhythms with at least three complete mood check-ins (Pro) - Completion insight comparing planned and practiced minutes, including partial sessions (Pro) - Custom patterns: design your own rhythm, each phase from 0 to 15 seconds (Pro) - Voice guidance: spoken cues at every phase for eyes-closed practice, generated on your device (Pro) - Calm calendar: four weeks of practice as a heat grid, darker means more minutes (Pro) - Daily calm goal: pick a minutes goal and watch the ring fill as today adds up - Start again: one tap repeats your last pattern and length - Session notes: a word about how it went, kept with each session - Monthly calm report: a shareable PDF of your sessions, minutes, and mood trend (Pro) FREE AND PRO Free includes Box, 4-7-8, and Coherent breathing, sessions up to 5 minutes, quick reset and focus break routines, widgets, local backup and restore, mood checks, session notes, the daily goal ring, daily reminders, and your last 7 days of history.
