This update brings a calmer way to keep your practice going, along with a smoother feel throughout the app. You can now set a gentle daily reminder to breathe. It's completely optional and stays off until you turn it on, and you choose a time that suits you. If you've already breathed that day, we quietly skip the reminder, so you're never nudged to do something you've already done. There's no pressure and no streak to chase, just a soft invitation to take a breath when you want one. We've also smoothed out moving around the app. Titles now behave the same way on every screen as you scroll, and the month labels in Browse are cleaner and easier to read, alongside a handful of small fixes for a more restful feel. Thanks for breathing with us.

A calmer, more consistent Zen Habits. We've brought Browse, Favorites, and Discover into one clean, consistent card style, so the whole app feels like a single quiet space, in both light and dark. And Favorites is now yours to arrange: - Sort by recently saved, newest, oldest, reading time, or title - Group your saved articles by month - More room to save, up to 10 free bookmarks - A quieter bookmark meter that stays out of the way until you're nearly full As always: no clutter, no pressure, just a calmer place to read and breathe.

Breathe now keeps track of your practice. Finished sessions are saved automatically, so you can build a gentle streak and look back on your recent sessions — all in the same calm style. It's here to encourage, not to pressure: miss a day and nothing is lost.

A more consistent, calmer look across the app: unified accent color and buttons, refined for light and dark mode.

The Breathe tab has been redesigned and is easier to navigate, with a recommended technique to help you start. Each technique now shows its rhythm in plain language, you can set your session length, and pause or resume any time. Gentle haptic feedback guides you through every phase, and a round counter helps you follow your progress. Thanks for breathing with us.
