Simple Breathwork: Breath Hold
Breathing Exercises & Timer
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Close your eyes, follow the rhythm, and build a steady breath-hold practice one calm round at a time.
NEW IN 3.0
Take two minutes. Start fresh.
A guided two-minute reset now opens the app. Start Fresh and Box Breathing are free, every day, no account needed.
RELIEF SESSIONS
Three short, science-backed patterns: Box Breathing for focus, 4-7-8 for calm, and the Physiological Sigh, one of the fastest known ways to dial down stress. Each is fully guided with haptics and soft tones, so you can close your eyes.
7-DAY FRESH START ROUTINE
One short session a day for a week builds the habit without overwhelming it.
WORKDAY REMINDERS
Anchor a gentle daily nudge to the start, middle, or end of your workday.
21-Day Progressive Program
Move through three phases, Foundation, Build, and Peak, with a guided session for each day. Celebrate milestones at days 7, 14, and 21, and use rest-day tokens to recover without losing your streak.
Apple Watch App
Practice straight from your wrist with full haptic guidance, so you never need to open your eyes or look at a screen. Watch sessions sync automatically to your iPhone history.
Apple Health Integration
Save every session as Mindful Minutes and see your average heart rate for each breath hold. It is a simple way to notice how your body responds as your practice grows.
HOW IT WORKS
Each round begins with 30 to 40 power breaths, paced by an animated circle, gentle tones, and haptics. Then you exhale and hold, either on a guided ladder timer or unguided with a single tap to end. A 15-second recovery breath completes the round.
SESSIONS FOR ANY DAY
Choose Quick (5 minutes), Standard (20 minutes), or Heroic (44 minutes). Prefer your own rhythm? Customize the number of rounds, breaths per round, and breathing pace.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
Per-round summaries and personal records show how your holds develop over time. Analytics highlight your streaks, weekly practice, best hold, and average hold.
Share your progress with session cards designed for Instagram Stories and Messages, featuring your hold times, best hold, and current streak.
ALWAYS WITHIN REACH
A Home Screen widget, Live Activity, and Dynamic Island keep your session and streak visible at a glance. Daily reminders help you build a consistent habit, and the dark, minimal interface stays out of your way.
DESIGNED FOR EYES-CLOSED PRACTICE
Every phase is marked by distinct haptics and soft tones, so you can relax fully and let the breath lead.
SAFETY NOTE
Never practice in or near water, while driving, or in any situation where losing focus could be unsafe. Practice seated or lying down. This app is for general wellness and is not a medical device. Consult a healthcare professional if you are pregnant or have any health condition.
Take your first round today and discover what a few focused minutes of breathing can do for your day.
