Quiet Counts
A little room to breathe
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
A simple breathing guide for iPhone and Apple Watch. Three patterns, clear counts, optional haptics. No account, no ads, works offline.
Make a little room to breathe.
Quiet Counts is a simple breathing guide with one floating bubble, clear counts, and three patterns:
• Focus: inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4.
• Relax: inhale 4, exhale 6, with no holds.
• Sleep: inhale 4, hold 7, exhale 8.
Choose about 1, 3, or 5 minutes. Every session finishes a complete cycle; the iPhone shows the calculated actual time before you begin.
Use Quiet Counts on iPhone or independently on Apple Watch. On Watch, swipe to change patterns, turn the Digital Crown to choose the approximate duration, then tap the large bubble to start. Short In, Out and Hold labels keep the session easy to glance at.
Start gives you three seconds to get comfortable before the first inhale. Pause whenever you need. Resume uses the same brief preparation, then restarts the interrupted cycle with an inhale. End immediately, at any time.
Optional iPhone haptic cues begin with a soft lift and rise for inhale, soften for exhale and double tap for hold. Choose Gentle, Balanced or Strong. Apple Watch uses its native up, down and click phase cues, with strength controlled by Watch settings. Turn haptics on or off separately for each pattern; Sleep starts with them off. Each pattern has its own soft color palette, with light and dark appearance following the device setting. There is no audio, and leaving the app pauses your session.
Quiet Counts works offline, with no account, ads, subscriptions, analytics, or tracking. Your last choices stay on the device where you made them. Larger text, VoiceOver labels, Reduce Motion, and contrast settings support a comfortable experience.
Breathe gently and use the counts only while they feel comfortable. You can always return to your usual breathing.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Quiet Counts now has its own Apple Watch app. Breathe straight from your wrist: swipe between patterns, set the approximate length with the Digital Crown and tap the bubble to begin. The Watch's native haptics mark each phase.
The app is now available in German and follows your device language automatically.
The three breathing patterns are now called Focus, Relax and Sleep, previously Box, Unwind and Bedtime. The patterns themselves are unchanged.
The guide copy has been refined, and the text inside the breathing bubble now stays within the bubble at every text size.
