Some evenings you know you need to slow down. You just do not know which breathing exercise does it.
Aurora Breath opens with four gates - calm, focus, sleep, energy - and brings the matching guided breathing session forward. One tap, and a luminous pacer takes over the counting.
BUILT AROUND YOUR OWN PACE
Most breathing apps hand you a fixed count. Aurora starts by watching yours. Tap through two ordinary breaths and the app measures your inhale and exhale seconds, then builds a six-cycle guide around them. No microphone, no camera - only your taps. Optional holds can be added afterwards, or left out entirely.
ELEVEN FOUNDATIONAL RHYTHMS
Balanced Breathing 5-5, Box Breathing 4-4-4-4, Long Exhale 4-6, Double-Inhale Sigh 3+1-7, Bedtime Breathing 4-7-8, Focus Triangle 4-4-4, Quick Energy 2-2, Walking Breath 3-3, After-Stress Reset 3-5, Full Torso Breath 5-6, and your own measured pace. Each one opens with what it is for, the exact phase timing and what you will hear.
FOUR THREE-STAGE JOURNEYS
For a longer session, a guided course carries you through three stages without leaving the screen:
• Sleep Orbit - long exhales, then 4-7-8 deepening, then a no-hold finish
• Calm Reset - double-inhale sighs into a very long 4-8 exhale
• Focus Warm-Up - balanced 5-5, a triangle, then a quicker launch
• Morning Energy - chest-opening, a fast wake-up, a walking finish
GUIDANCE YOU CAN CLOSE YOUR EYES TO
A recorded voice names every phase, breath tones rise with the inhale and settle with the exhale, and the aurora itself expands and contracts with you. Turn voice or sound off whenever you want the screen alone.
INSPIRATORY HOLD LAB
A separate, deliberately conservative space for held-in breath work: natural breathing, one comfortable inhale, a held breath, then an unhurried recovery. Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Custom levels, a safety acknowledgement before every start, and no leaderboard - open-hold time is never saved as a record.
YOUR PRIVATE SKY
Sessions, minutes, streak and per-practice counts stay on the device. The Living Sky Atlas turns completed practices into stars and finished journeys into planets, so your history is something you look at rather than a number. Colour, brightness and motion are yours to set.
MOONFALL
A quiet screen made for falling asleep inside - set a length and let the light do the rest.
Works offline. No account, no sign-up, no cloud sync.
A NOTE ON CARE
Aurora Breath is a wellness tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition. Practice seated or lying down, keep every breath and every hold comfortable, and stop if you feel dizzy or unwell. Never practice breath holds in or near water. If you are pregnant, or manage a heart, lung or blood-pressure condition, speak to a healthcare professional first.
Open a gate, take one breath at your own pace, and let the light follow it.
