RESPIRO - Stress Relief
Detects Stress. Calm in 30s.
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone
iPhone
Burnout detection before you feel it — 29 signals, no wearable. Breathing, body scans, and grounding in 30 seconds. Quiet nervous system. Clear head.
Your phone already knows when you're stressed. Respiro reads the signals.
Most breathing apps wait for you to open them. Respiro detects stress in the background and sends the right practice at the right moment.
STRESS RADAR — BEHAVIORAL INTELLIGENCE
Respiro monitors 29 signals from 8 sources on your iPhone:
- Sleep patterns and disruptions
- Physical activity and step count changes
- Daily rhythm and routine shifts
- Calendar overload and back-to-back meetings
- Screen time spikes and behavioral changes
- Social media doom-scrolling patterns
- Late-night phone use (strongest stress predictor)
- Evening escapism and compulsive checking
- Weather and barometric pressure
- Your mood feedback loop
No Apple Watch required. Just the iPhone you already carry.
NEW: DIGITAL BEHAVIOR INTELLIGENCE
Respiro is the first breathing app to detect stress from your phone behavior. Screen Time API monitors general usage categories — never specific apps, never content. All on-device.
After a 2-week personal baseline, Respiro learns YOUR normal. When behavior deviates — more screen time, more social media, later nights — it suggests a practice.
Nighttime phone use has an effect size of d=0.8-1.2 on stress. Over 80 daily unlocks correlates with 2.3x higher anxiety.
CALM DOWN IN 30 SECONDS
Physiological Sigh — the technique Stanford researchers found reduces stress faster than any other breathing pattern. Two inhales, one long exhale. Done.
26 SCIENCE-BACKED TECHNIQUES
Breathing, body, and mind practices from 30 seconds to 20 minutes:
- Physiological Sigh (Stanford) — fastest stress reset
- Box Breathing (Navy SEALs) — focus under pressure
- 4-7-8 Breathing — fall asleep naturally
- Progressive Muscle Relaxation — release physical tension
- Grounding 5-4-3-2-1 — stop anxiety spirals
- Body Scan, Butterfly Hug, Cognitive Defusion, and more
Every technique backed by peer-reviewed research. No fluff. No celebrity narration. No sleep stories.
LEARNS WHAT WORKS FOR YOU
After each practice, one tap — "Much better", "A bit better", "About the same", or "Not great". Over time, recommendations get smarter. The app tracks which techniques actually reduce YOUR stress.
Your stress score adapts to YOUR personal baseline. After 7 readings, Respiro learns your normal — "elevated" is calibrated to you, not population averages.
