Respiro is a launcher built to loosen the grip of muscle memory.
You know the reflex: your thumb finds the same app before you have even decided to open it. Respiro gently breaks that loop.
The apps you open most out of habit do not sit in a fixed spot waiting to be tapped. They quietly drift across the home, evading the path your thumb already knows. Reaching them takes a single beat of intention, and that beat is often enough to ask yourself: do I actually want this right now?
- How it works
• Evasion. Every home app is a calm, breathing shape, not an icon in a grid. The more reflexively you open an app, the farther it scatters and the more it wanders. Your genuine tools stay easy to reach. Your time sinks quietly slip away.
• One breath. Mark the apps that pull you in, and opening one asks for a single slow breath first. A small pause between impulse and action.
• The Root. Swipe up to a quiet showcase of the good, not the damage. See your screen-off time, your longest unbroken pause, your offline rhythm through the day, and a week of time spent away from the phone. It celebrates the space you reclaim instead of shaming the time you spend.
• Calm by design. No notification badges, no red dots, no noise begging for a tap. Just expressive shapes that breathe, on a still, dark canvas.
• Find anything. A search lens surfaces any app in a moment, so nothing is ever truly lost, only one intentional step away.
- Privacy first
Respiro reads your on and off phone rhythm without any special permission. It does not request usage access, it does not track what you do inside other apps, and your data never leaves your device. The rhythm behind the Root is measured simply by when your screen turns on and off.

Respiro means breath in italian. That is the whole idea: a small pause, a calmer relationship with the phone in your hand, and a little more room to choose.
