## Description

State: Breathing delivers intuitive breathwork to shift your state quickly. It creates custom exercises based on your stress response and evolves with use. Six targeted exercises help you feel calm, alert, present, awake, recovered, or sleepy, with visuals and sound to keep you in the moment. It uses fingerprinting to tailor routines from the first use, and the adaptive State algorithm refines exercises the more you use the app. Progress is tracked with key metrics and helpful reminders help you stay in your desired state. Built on neuroscience and created by Brian Mackenzie.

A subscription offers a two-week free trial, then $3.99 per month or $34.99 per year for US customers; regional pricing may vary. Manage and cancel in App Store settings; terms and privacy policy are available at shiftstate.io/terms.

## Review summary

State: Breathing is praised for its simple, beginner-friendly design and short, effective exercises for anxiety, but users report recurring audio bugs, stability issues, and billing problems. Many want HealthKit integration, longer/customizable sessions, and mindful minutes export. Price/value concerns persist, and support responsiveness is a recurring complaint. Overall, strong core concept with reliability and feature gaps to address.

- Bugs and instability after updates (timing issues, black screens, crashes).
- Perceived high price relative to features; value concerns.
