Navy Seals use breathing techniques to focus. You can use it to focus, or to calm down, or energise. In through the nose, out from the mouth. Have a go. Build a habit.
Boxed Breathing is here to help you boost your mornings, de-stress your afternoon, focus for big events and improve your day.
Your breath is the fastest tool you have. No equipment, no experience needed — just a few minutes and the right technique.
NINE PROVEN TECHNIQUES
Every course is built around a breathing pattern with a specific purpose.
Calm an anxious mind.
Sharpen your focus before something important.
Wind down for sleep.
Reset at 3am.
Recover from a hard afternoon.
There is a session for every moment in the day.
THREE GUIDED VOICES
Emily, Corinne, and Nathaniel guide you through your sessions with calm, unhurried narration. Voices rotate automatically so your practice feels fresh, or lock in your favourite from settings. Each voice has multiple script variations, so no two sessions sound identical.
MADE FOR REAL LIFE
Sessions run from 60 seconds to 18 minutes. Set a daily reminder and tapping the notification takes you straight into your practice - no menus, no decisions. The app gets out of the way and lets you breathe.
BUILD YOUR OWN
The course wizard lets you create a breathing pattern from scratch. Set your own counts, add ambient music, choose your guidance level, and save it alongside the built-in courses.
APPLE HEALTH
Every completed session can be saved as a Mindfulness minute, so your breathwork sits alongside the rest of your wellness data.
