New: voice guidance, gentle breathing vibrations and Siri. Calm anxiety in about a minute with the physiological sigh. Every accessibility feature is free. Aera is a breathing app for anxiety, panic and stress. Open it, tap the circle, and feel calmer in about a minute. THE PHYSIOLOGICAL SIGH Two breaths in through the nose, one long breath out through the mouth. Stanford researchers compared this "cyclic sighing" with mindfulness meditation and box breathing, and it improved mood the most. The long exhale switches on your parasympathetic nervous system, your body's built-in rest mode. Three cycles take about 38 seconds. MADE FOR HARD MOMENTS • One tap to start. No account, no setup • Say "Hey Siri, breathe with Aera" or add it to the Action Button • Pause any time, and Aera waits for you if you leave the app • Breathe with your eyes closed: voice guidance and gentle vibrations lead each breath • A soft dark mode for anxiety at 2 a.m. or winding down for sleep • Apple Watch app for breathing anywhere BUILT FOR EVERYONE VoiceOver, Voice Control, Larger Text, Reduce Motion and Differentiate Without Color are supported throughout. Every accessibility feature is free. AERA PRO • Four breathing techniques: cyclic sighing, box breathing, 4-7-8 breathing for sleep and resonance breathing • Design your own breathing rhythm • Mood before and after each session, with trends over weeks • See which technique calms you most • Sessions up to 20 cycles • Mindful minutes in Apple Health • Export your history as CSV • Light theme on Apple Watch PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no analytics. Your sessions stay on your device and in your own iCloud. Aera is a wellness tool, not a medical device, and does not replace professional care. Some features require an Aera Pro subscription (auto-renewable). Subscription options: $0.99/week, $2.99/month, or $19.99/year.

Don’t know why I didn’t find this sooner. Every other app is so difficult to set up or use when my heart is already racing. I love how I can just quickly get into a session in this app! And the guidance through the breathing I think is necessary, when I do it myself my thoughts go elsewhere. I would suggest maybe some sort of a lock screen widget thing to get into the app quicker, would be a game changer at least for me.
