RESPIRO - Stress Relief

Detect Stress. Breathe Easy.

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

v2.2.0: Stress episodes, 6 stress levels, smarter check-ins. See when stress peaks — and when it clears. 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. PRIVACY FIRST - All 29 signals processed on-device - Screen time: categories only, no app names - No data uploaded to any server - You choose what to monitor - Disable any signal anytime - No account required DESIGNED FOR SKEPTICS No streaks. No guilt trips. No gamification. No "you missed a day!" notifications. Just a stress detection system and a library of techniques that work. FOR YOU IF: - You're stressed but "too busy" for meditation - You tried Calm or Headspace and quit - You want results in 30 seconds, not 30 minutes - You don't own an Apple Watch but want stress detection - You doom-scroll when anxious and want to break the pattern FREE TIER - 5 practices always free (including Physiological Sigh) - Stress detection free for all users - Emergency practices always accessible PREMIUM - All 26 practices unlocked - Full Stress Radar with 29 signals - Personalized recommendations - Weekly stress reports - Home Screen widgets (5 types) - $4.99/month or $29.99/year (7-day free trial) - Cancel anytime — one tap, no dark patterns Built by a solo developer who uses it every day.

Stress tracking got smarter. Respiro now recognizes 6 stress states — from calm to acute — instead of just showing a number. It also tracks when a stress episode starts and ends, so you can see how long recovery actually takes. New: quick check-ins help the app stay accurate for your patterns. When it's not sure — it stays quiet instead of guessing. Plus: full accessibility support and larger text options.
