PacedBreath: Calm Breathwork

A private reset for the moment you're in. Follow the orb, close your eyes, or let haptics guide you. Four everyday practices free. No account. No tracking.

PacedBreath is a private reset for the moment you're in. One orb sets the pace. Follow it, close your eyes, or feel the rhythm in your hand.

No feed. No noise. No one watching.

— Twelve protocols, six modes Reset, Steady, Sleep, Focus, Practice, Activate. Each protocol does one thing and says so plainly: Box Breathing, Physiological Sigh, 4-7-8 Breathing, Coherent Breathing, Sleep Wind Down, Calm Reset, Gentle Humming, Alternate Nostril Basics, Cool Breath, Active Breath, and more. PacedBreath Complete adds personal patterns, so you can build and save your own rhythm.

— The orb A breathing orb paces every session. Haptics and counted voice cues sync to it, so you can close your eyes and keep the rhythm in your hand. Four voice packs: Soft, Warm, Quiet, Teacher. Five ambient sound beds — Drone, Warm Hearth, Twilight, Forest, Ocean — each swelling gently with your inhale.

— Built carefully First run starts with gentle sessions. Optional questions, stored only on your device, control access to breath holds and activating patterns. Low-stimulation sessions turn off practice haptics and keep the status bar visible. Every session keeps a clearly labeled End Session action available.

— Insights that stay quiet After a session, one tap: Calmer, Steadier, Sleepier, or No change. Your reflections build a private picture over time, and the app surfaces "what tends to help" only when there's enough data to be honest about it. No streak shame. No leaderboards. No guilt mechanics.

— Private by design PacedBreath is local-first. No backend, no accounts, no analytics SDK, no trackers. Your sessions stay on your iPhone. If you choose, it writes mindful minutes to Apple Health — one way, and only with your permission.

— On your Lock Screen Live Activities keep your session state on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so the pace is there when you glance.

— Built for iPhone Supports iOS 18 and later with system-native materials. Designed for Dynamic Type, Increase Contrast, Reduce Motion, Reduce Transparency, and VoiceOver. Native iPad support is intentionally deferred.

— Free and Complete Free, with no time limit: Calm Reset, Coherent Breathing, Focus Steady, Sleep Wind Down, and the Soft voice. Box Breathing is also entitlement-free; because it includes brief holds, it becomes usable only when you explicitly include breath-hold practices in Safety.
