Reed: Breathwork & Pranayama

Nine breathing sessions, free and unlimited, each with a before-and-after check that shows your shift. New: a guided six-week orientation, free for everyone.

Most breathing apps show you sessions. Reed shows you change.

Before you begin, Reed asks how you feel on a quiet five-point scale. You breathe. Afterwards it asks again and shows you the difference between the two. That's your shift: your own report, before and after, session after session. You don't need a wearable or an account, and there's no streak to keep.

NINE SESSIONS. TWO TRADITIONS. A short, deliberate set rather than an endless catalogue to wade through.

Breathwork

• Box Breathing: an even, measured count
• 4-7-8 Calm: a long, slow exhale, the pattern many people reach for before sleep
• Coherence: five in, five out
• Energize: a quick, light rhythm for the morning
• Cyclic Sighing: a double inhale and one long release

Pranayama

• Nadi Shodhana: alternate nostril, to balance and steady
• Kapalabhati: skull shining breath, forceful and quick
• Bhramari: humming bee breath
• Bhastrika: bellows breath

FOR THE MOMENT YOU'RE IN Wind down at night when sleep is slow to come, settle a busy or anxious moment, steady yourself before deep work, or lift your energy without another coffee. Sessions run from about two to ten minutes, and you can end early whenever you like. Reed keeps what you did and still asks how you feel.

ONE ORB. ONE COUNT. A single orb expands and settles with the breath. Nothing else moves. There's no confetti at the end, no badges, and the reminders won't guilt you. Reed treats a shift of zero as an honest outcome, because it is one.

FREE, AND THEN SOME All nine sessions are free and unlimited, and the before-and-after shift is included on every one of them. A guided six-week orientation teaches the practice one session at a time, free for everyone.

Reed Pro adds the part that learns from your practice:

• Which session tends to suit you, and when
• Your complete trend and full history
• Custom ratio-based patterns, and pinning what you practice most to your Home
• Reminders that adjust to the hour you actually practice
• An Auto theme that follows the day from Morning to Midnight, and premium tones

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Reed works without an account. Your check-ins, your sessions and the history behind your shift are stored on your iPhone. We never receive them, and we couldn't retrieve them for you if you asked. There are no ads and no data selling, and you don't need a wearable.

ENGLISH AND SPANISH Reed is fully bilingual from day one, and follows your iPhone's language.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN For most people, gentle guided breathing is calming and safe. Some techniques are more intense, though, especially the faster, forceful ones like Kapalabhati and Bhastrika. Check with a doctor before you begin if you're pregnant, or have a heart condition, high or low blood pressure, a respiratory condition, epilepsy, or experience panic attacks. Always practice sitting or lying down somewhere safe, never while driving or in water, and stop if you feel dizzy or unwell.

Reed is for general wellbeing. It isn't medical advice or treatment, and isn't a substitute for care from a professional.
