Until now, I hadn’t cross an app that just has breathing exercises. I’m so glad I found this. It’s so well designed. Can’t believe it’s free and has good privacy policy. Some changes that will make me use the app more. 1) Apple Watch with complication features enabled. 2) Removing AI feature. There is simply no need for it. As an environmentally conscious user this is important. 3) The AI voice isn’t working for me. Instead, keep up with minimalist design, just used haptics. One tap for breath, multiple taps until time to release for holding breath. Hats off to the developer. Excited about what you develop next.
Fresh easy experience
