PacedBreath: Calm Breathwork

12 breathing protocols. One quiet orb. Haptics and counted voice keep the pace, so your eyes do not have to. Four protocols free — no account, no trackers, ever.

PacedBreath is a quiet place to breathe. One orb sets the pace. You follow.

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. Premium adds custom patterns, so you can build 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.

— Seven optional focus themes Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye, and Crown — inspired by Hindu and Buddhist contemplative traditions, used here purely as attentional anchors. A soft color halo and a single cue line, nothing more. Off by default. They are not a medical or therapeutic claim.

— Built carefully First run starts with gentle sessions. Optional questions, stored only on your device, control access to breath holds and activating patterns. A gentler mode softens defaults, removes haptics, and keeps 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 Premium Free, with no time limit: Calm Reset, Sleep Wind Down, Focus Steady, Box Breathing, and the Soft voice. Box Breathing includes brief holds and becomes available only when you explicitly include breath-hold practices in Safety.
