Mental Potential
Breathing, calm & heart rate
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
New: long-exhale breathing, a weekly slow-breathing goal, and your heart rate measured through every session with Apple Watch.
Mental Potential is a calm, guided breathing app. Pick an exercise, follow the moving guide with your eyes – or close them and follow the sound and gentle taps – and let your body settle.
NINE GUIDED EXERCISES
• Calming breath (4-7-8) – for winding down and falling asleep. Also without the hold.
• Box breathing (4-4-4-4) – focus and steady nerves.
• Coherent breathing – six breaths a minute, from 2 to 15 minutes.
• Long exhale – short in, long out, five to six breaths a minute. Three levels, 5 to 15 minutes.
• Physiological sigh – quick relief when you feel tense.
• Meditation – a silent timer with a soft bell, from 5 to 60 minutes.
• Alternate nostril breathing, Tummo and Pineal breathing for advanced practice.
SEE WHAT WORKS FOR YOU
After a session, note how your body feels. Over time, Stats shows which exercise calms you the most.
HEART RATE WITH APPLE WATCH
With Apple Watch, your heart rate is measured through the whole session and saved to Health. Stats shows how much it drops from the start to the end of a session, and which exercise lowers it the most.
A WEEKLY SLOW-BREATHING GOAL
Studies of slow breathing often use around 40 minutes a week. Stats counts your minutes of slow breathing over the last seven days.
ON YOUR WRIST
The Apple Watch app guides the same exercises with gentle taps, so you can breathe with your arm down and your eyes closed.
MADE TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY
• Free, with no ads and no account
• Your sessions stay on your device; Apple Health is opt-in
• Reminders on the days and at the times you choose
• Home screen widget, Siri Shortcuts, and a Live Activity for meditation
• Available in 16 languages
Mental Potential is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat any condition. If you have a heart or lung condition or high blood pressure, or are pregnant, talk to your doctor before you start a breathing practice.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
The home screen now starts from what you need — calm down, fall asleep, sharpen focus, find energy or meditate — and picks the exercise for you. All nine techniques are still there under All exercises.
The breathing cues are quieter and warmer. Reminders can now be about meditation as well as breathing. The close button sits in the same corner on every screen, lengths are shown with a clock, and nothing is cut off at large text sizes.
