About this app

Sooz is a breathing exercises app - one of the simplest ways to relieve stress, sleep better, and find your focus. Tap a proven breathing exercise - Box Breathing, 4-7-8, Coherent 5-5, or Ujjayi — and let the orb guide you. No clutter. No forced subscriptions. Just breath.

Whether you're winding down before bed, steadying yourself before a meeting, or riding out a wave of anxiety, Sooz gives you a clear pattern and gentle cues. One minute of deep breathing is enough to reset your nervous system.

★ PROVEN BREATHING EXERCISES

• Box Breathing (4-4-4-4) — the Navy SEAL technique for calm under pressure
• 4-7-8 Breathing — Dr. Andrew Weil's relaxing breath for sleep and anxiety relief
• Coherent 5-5 — ~6 breaths per minute, linked in research to heart rate variability and focus
• Calm 6-6 — a gentler coherent breathing variation for deep relaxation
• Deep Reset 4-4-6-2 — diaphragmatic breathing without the intensity of 4-7-8
• Ujjayi (Ocean Breath) — slow yoga pranayama for sustained calm
• Energize 2-0-2-0 — a quick breathing exercise before a workout or meeting

★ BUILD YOUR OWN BREATHING PATTERNS

Design custom breathing exercises with your own inhale, hold, exhale, and hold timings. Save your favorite patterns. Use them like any preset.

★ HANDS-FREE VOICE GUIDANCE

Optional on-device voice cues guide you through each phase — "Inhale… Hold… Exhale…" — so you can close your eyes and just breathe. No earbuds required.

★ BEAUTIFUL, DISTRACTION-FREE THEMES

Choose the mood that fits you — calm ocean, soft aurora, or clear blue skies. Every screen is tuned for low light, low stimulation breathing sessions.

★ SMART DAILY BREATHING REMINDERS

Gentle nudges when you need them. Set as many reminders as you want, at the times that fit your day. Perfect for building a deep breathing habit.

★ WHAT SOOZ HELPS WITH

• Stress relief — lower your heart rate with a 2-minute breathing exercise
• Better sleep — use 4-7-8 breathing to fall asleep faster
• Anxiety management — a calm, repeatable breathing pattern in moments of panic
• Focus and productivity — coherent breathing before deep work
• Pre-workout breathing — energize your body with fast breathwork
• Pranayama practice — a clean tool for daily yoga breathing

★ WHY SOOZ

Most breathing apps are bolted onto bigger meditation platforms, or buried inside monthly subscriptions. Sooz is single-purpose: open the app, pick a pattern, breathe, close it. That's the whole loop. No noise. No guilt. No upsells inside a session.

★ PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

Your breathing sessions, streaks, and stats stay on your device. No account required. No tracking of your breathing data. Ever.

★ WHO IT'S FOR

• Anyone looking for a quick, reliable way to de-stress
• People who practice box breathing, 4-7-8, coherent breathing, or pranayama
• Readers of Breath by James Nestor and the work of Dr. Andrew Weil
• Runners, climbers, and athletes who use breathwork for performance
• Anyone who wants a simple, sleep-friendly breathing companion

Deep breathing slows the heart rate, lowers cortisol, and brings the body into a parasympathetic "rest and digest" state. Two minutes of slow breathing is all it takes.

Breathe better. Every day. Download Sooz and feel the difference in your first session.
