Breathly: Deep Breathing

Find your calm, one breath at a time.

Breathly: Deep Breathing is a minimalist breathing guide designed for modern life. Whether you are overwhelmed by work or tossing in bed at night, simply open the app and follow the gentle rhythm on screen. Let your heartbeat slow down, let your thoughts settle.

[Multiple Proven Breathing Techniques, Backed by Science]

· 4-7-8 Breathing: The "natural tranquilizer" popularized by Dr. Andrew Weil — inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Practicing a few rounds before bed helps you fall asleep faster.
· Box Breathing: Inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4. The technique used by Navy SEALs to stay calm under pressure — perfect before a speech, exam, or difficult meeting.
· Coherent Breathing: A balanced 5-second inhale and 5-second exhale that regulates heart rate variability for everyday practice.
· Custom Pattern: Set your own inhale, hold, and exhale durations to match your lung capacity and personal preference.

[Scene-Based Presets, No Decision Fatigue]

Not sure which technique to use? Choose from four curated scenes:
· Sleep: 4-7-8 rhythm with a deep blue-violet palette, a gentle 10-minute drift into sleep.

· Focus: Coherent rhythm with a cool gray-blue tone, 3 minutes to enter a flow state.
· Energize: Quick breathing with warm orange animation, 2 minutes to shake off drowsiness.

[Visual Guidance, Eyes Closed or Open]

A glowing ring at the center of the screen expands and contracts in sync with your breath, accompanied by clear phase text — "Inhale / Hold / Exhale" — and a countdown. No need to stare at the screen; the rhythm is felt in your peripheral vision.

[Flexible Duration, Your Choice]

1 minute for a quick reset, 5 minutes for a lunch break, 10 minutes for bedtime, 30 minutes for deep meditation — slide to pick your duration. The session stops automatically and shows a completion card.

[Streak Tracking, Build the Habit]

Every completed session is logged. A calendar heatmap shows your consistency at a glance, and a streak counter keeps you motivated without pressure. It is gentle companionship, not a burden.
