A BREAK IN ONE TAP
• Start a 5-minute break from the first screen, or pick 1 to 60 minutes
• Count breaths instead of minutes, or go open-ended
• Pause or stop any time; guidance keeps playing with the screen locked, with Lock Screen controls
• An optional 3-2-1 before starting and a breath counter
A PATTERN FOR THE MOMENT
• Longer exhale, box breathing, 4-7-8, even breathing and more
• Sorted by relaxation, sleep, focus, energy, stress relief and long breaths
• Short routines that combine patterns, plus a 7-day wind-down and a 5-day focus program
• Clear counts for each step, with holds you can skip
• Make and save your own patterns, and keep favorites
FOLLOW WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED
• A different sound for breathing in and breathing out
• Several sound sets, a sound for each phase, and adjustable volume
• An optional voice and haptic taps
• A calm pacer, with a reduced-motion option
SIT QUIETLY OR DRIFT OFF
• A silent timer with a start bell, an end bell and soft interval bells
• Ocean, rain or soft noise that stops on its own after 15, 30 or 60 minutes
SEE YOUR PRACTICE
• Minutes, sessions and good weeks, day by day
• A consistency view where gaps are fine

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your sessions and patterns are stored on your iPhone and are never sold or used for ads. An optional account (18+) can back up your practice; Apple Health data is never included.
FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL AD-FREE PLAN
All features are free. The free version shows occasional, dismissible promotions for our own apps only, with no third-party ads. An optional subscription (weekly, monthly or yearly) removes all ads in all our apps on this iPhone. It unlocks no extra features. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings. Deleting the app doesn't cancel a subscription.
IMPORTANT
Breathe for Five. is for relaxation, not medical treatment. It doesn't measure your breathing, heart rate or stress. Breathe at a pace that feels comfortable and skip the holds if you like. Stop and breathe normally if you feel dizzy or unwell.
