About this app

Breathe is an app designed to help you ‘watch your breath’. For centuries, deep breathing has been an integral part of meditation practices. It has more recently been adopted by everyone from world class athletes to the U.S. army. Studies have shown that with regular practice meditation can reduce anxiety, stress, and depression. Cognitive benefits include improved focus, memory and decision making. The phrase ‘watch your breath’ is common among meditation practitioners, and is actualised in Breathe: there are animations to signal your inhales and exhales, and you have tools to customize the length of each breath. Intentionally breathing in and out can be a powerful, calming, and joyful experience.

Breathe is offered free, with no ads and no hidden features.

Excellent! Simple, straightforward controls that allow you to control, and CHANGE ON THE FLY, inhale/hold/exhale/hold duration. The UI controls are also simple and give you options for whether to keep the screen on or off, what color the background should be, and what sound you want to use. The sound choices vary on whether there is a continuous sound, or just during inhale/exhale, or changing tones for each segment, etc.. Recommend!

Love this app. The combination of graph (eyes open) and sounds (eyes closed) is a bonus for me. Eventually you get into the rhythm of counting but always good to have both if needed. It would be good if you could set it to run for a set period of time or number of reps. I use it for timing things like pelvic floor exercises where I might only want to do 10 reps, for example.

I like the simplicity of this app. It's only sliders to set your desired breathing patten. No classes, no woo, just breathing. I don't like the graph. It's very distracting. I appreciate that the dev is trying to do something different, but I would love an option to toggle the graph to the more standard circle that grows and shrinks with the pattern. As others have mentioned, a start/stop button would also be nice.
