Breathe Easy - Box Breathing

Some moments call for a slower breath, the few minutes before a meeting, or lying awake with your mind still running. This app guides breathing with a circle that expands and contracts, so you just follow the shape instead of counting in your head.

Pick a pattern and a length, and the circle and a gentle vibration keep the pace for you. Box breathing and 4-7-8 are here for winding down, a slow coherent rhythm for steadying yourself, and a brisker energizing pattern for the morning. Sessions run one, three, or five minutes.

• Six paced patterns for calm, focus, or a wake-up
• A quiet, uncluttered screen while a session is running
• A day streak, so a few quiet minutes become part of your day

There's nothing to log in to and it runs offline. No setup, no reading: open it, breathe, and get back to your day.

Slow breathing can help you feel more settled, but it isn't a treatment for any medical condition. If you feel lightheaded, stop and breathe normally.
