wellness
Build your own breath. Nothing leaves your phone
What you get
Breathe was built for exactly this.
The core features that make Breathe different from the generic alternatives.
Classical techniques
Nadi Shodhana, Bhastrika, Kapalabhati, Anulom Vilom, Bhramari, and Surya Bhedana — each with its proper ratio, count, and contraindications.
Session builder
stack techniques with custom durations, reorder them, name the stack, and let auto-transitions handle the hand-offs.
Guided pacer
a full-screen breath circle synced to each phase, with synthesised audio cues and a light haptic tap on the inhale.
Honest HRV
reads heart-rate variability and respiratory rate before and after a session, and writes Mindful Minutes to Apple Health.
A note from the studio
“I practise pranayama and wanted a tool that respected it — correct ratios, no upsells, no streak guilt, and no data leaving the phone. Breathe has no analytics and no network calls at all. It just helps you breathe.”
How it works
Three steps. No account. No tracking.
01
Build or pick a stack
Choose from the technique library or a starter stack, set durations to taste, and reorder the blocks.
02
Press play
Follow the full-screen breath guide — an animated circle, audio cues, and a light haptic tap on each inhale.
03
See the effect
With Apple Health permission, Breathe captures your HRV delta and logs the session as Mindful Minutes.
