Vagus: Breathing Exercises
Nerve Reset, Sleep & Focus
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your calm is one breath away. Guided rhythms that settle your nervous system in minutes. Start tonight with 4 7 8, free forever.
Your body has a built in calm switch. It is called the vagus nerve, and it runs from your brainstem to your heart, lungs and gut. When you exhale slowly, you activate it: heart rate drops, stress hormones fade, and your whole system shifts from fight or flight to rest and digest. Vagus teaches you to flip that switch on demand, with nothing more than your breath.
WHAT IS INSIDE
28 guided breathing exercises across 6 categories, each chosen for a specific moment in your day:
• Sleep: slow, extended exhales that quiet a racing mind and prepare your body for deep rest
• Nerve Reset: quick physiological resets for the moments when stress spikes
• Calm & Anxiety: steady rhythms that soften panic and bring you back to baseline
• Focus: balanced patterns like box breathing that sharpen attention before work, study or sport
• Energy: activating breaths that wake you up without caffeine
• HRV & Coherence: paced breathing near six breaths per minute to train heart rate variability
EVERY EXERCISE EXPLAINS ITSELF
Vagus is not a random list of patterns. Every exercise comes with a short, science grounded explanation of why it works: what the rhythm does to your nervous system, when to use it, and what to expect. You will not just breathe better. You will understand your own physiology.
BREATHE WITH THE ORB
Sessions are guided by a gently blooming flower orb paired with subtle haptics, so you can follow the rhythm with your eyes closed or your phone face down. No counting, no guesswork.
PROGRAMS THAT BUILD A HABIT
• 7 Day Nerve Reset: one week to a calmer baseline
• Better Sleep Week: rebuild your wind down routine night by night
• Focus Sprint: train attention in short, repeatable sessions
Daily streaks keep the habit alive, one session at a time.
SEE YOUR PROGRESS IN YOUR BODY
Connect Apple Health and the Trends view shows your sessions next to your HRV and resting heart rate, so you can watch your practice show up in real physiological data. Mindful minutes are logged automatically.
