Four breathing techniques, guided by a calm circle and gentle haptics — so you can breathe with your eyes closed. One-time purchase. No account, no tracking.
Breathe is a breathing app stripped to its essence. No account. No streaks. No library of content to work through. You pick a technique, press start, and breathe.
A single circle expands as you inhale, holds as you hold, and contracts as you exhale — a calm, organic rhythm to follow with open eyes. Or close them: gentle haptic pulses rise on the inhale and fall on the exhale, so you can breathe with the phone simply resting in your hand.
FOUR TECHNIQUES, CAREFULLY CHOSEN
• Box Breathing (4-4-4-4) — focus, before stress
• 4-7-8 — falling asleep, calming down
• Coherent (5.5-5.5) — HRV, daily balance
• Extended Exhale (4-6) — quick relief, on the go
MADE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY
• One screen. No menus, no onboarding, nothing to learn.
• Choose 1 to 60 minutes, or tap a quick preset.
• Optional breath sounds — real recordings, off by default.
• Haptic guidance you can turn off any time.
• Your last technique and settings are simply remembered.
YOURS, ONCE
A one-time purchase. No subscription, no in-app purchases — all future updates included.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No tracking. No analytics. Nothing leaves your phone.
FROM THE STUDIO BEHIND ZAZEN — MEDITATION TIMER
The same quiet, hand-crafted design — a different tool. If you know Zazen, you'll feel at home; if you don't, all you need is your breath.
A FEW NOTES
• For the full haptic and sound guidance, keep your display on during a session — Breathe keeps it awake for you. If you lock the screen by hand, the guidance rests until you come back.
• New to 4-7-8? Sit down for your first sessions. The longer holds can feel a little light-headed at first — that eases as you settle into the rhythm.
Breathe is a wellness and relaxation app, not a medical device, and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
