Don't Panic - Break the circle
Health & Fitness
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A calm, minimal breathing companion for the moments when your chest tightens and your thoughts won't slow down. No accounts. No ads. Just breath.
TWO PROVEN TECHNIQUES
4-7-8 Breathing
Inhale 4, hold 7, exhale 8. Trusted to calm the nervous system, ease anxiety, and help you fall asleep faster. Each phase is paired with a soft healing tone (528/432/396Hz).
Box Breathing
The technique used by Navy SEALs and first responders to stay calm under pressure. A perfect square that resets your mind in minutes.
FEATURES
- Pick your method and 5–20 repetitions, the app guides every phase.
- Grounding tips and affirmations for the moments breathing alone isn't enough.
- A private on-device journal for thoughts, triggers, and small wins.
- Sessions log to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes.

PRIVACY FIRST
No account. No tracking. No analytics. No third-party SDKs. Your notes and history stay on your device. Don't Panic only writes to HealthKit, it never reads anything.
