About this app

Build a daily breathing habit with BreatheUp, the breathing exercises app with a personal AI breath coach, a box breathing app, breathing tests, and calming sounds for stress, anxiety, sleep, and focus. Works fully offline. No account required.

🤖 MEET BREATHEUP COACH, YOUR POCKET BREATH COACH
Tell BreatheUp Coach what you need, and get a personalized breathing recommendation based on your goal, preferences, and breathing history. Choose a quick prompt for stress, sleep, focus, anxiety, or low energy, or ask your own question. Free plan includes 3 coach conversations a day; Premium unlocks unlimited coaching.

🎯 WHAT IS PACED BREATHING?
Paced breathing means controlling your inhale, hold, and exhale times at a steady rhythm. Our paced breathing app guides you with visual, audio, and haptic cues, so you always know when to breathe in, hold, and breathe out.

✨ FREE BREATHING EXERCISES & PATTERNS
- Box Breathing (4-4-4-4): the technique associated with Navy SEAL training
- Relax 478 Breathing: a popular pattern for winding down before sleep
- Paced Breathing (5-1-5-1): a steady, easy rhythm for everyday calm
- Equal Breathing (4-0-4-0): balanced inhale and exhale
Set sessions by time or cycles, with a tick metronome and haptic feedback for each phase.

🌬️ FIND YOUR BREATHING ZONE: VISUALS & SOUNDS
Follow the Circle, Lotus, Wave, or breath Ball visual with free calm sounds (crickets, white noise, river), pause/resume/finish controls, a mood check before/after each session, and a countdown to start. Premium adds Particles and Phase Gradient visuals plus rain, forest, ocean, wind, fireplace, pink and brown noise.

BREATHING FOR STRESS, ANXIETY & FOCUS

Supports traditional patterns like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril) and Ujjayi, plus custom timings for prana breath practice.

DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING
Practice guided diaphragmatic breathing with visual cues to help build awareness and support everyday calm.
