A dedicated box breathing app for iPhone. Practice the 4-4-4-4 method — also known as square breathing, tactical breathing, and Sama Vritti Pranayama — with guided sessions, relaxing music, streaks, and a habit that actually sticks.
Breathe in slowly and fully through your nose, filling your lungs completely over 4 seconds.
Once fully inhaled, hold the breath steadily and mindfully for 4 seconds.
Breathe out slowly and smoothly through your nose over 4 seconds.
Once fully exhaled, mindfully pause before inhaling again — completing the box.
Clear visual animations and subtle haptic cues guide each phase of the cycle — inhale, hold, exhale, pause. Choose Focus, Relax, or Sleep to match your intention. Voice-over coaching available throughout.
Live animations fill and empty with each breath phase. Round counter and session timer keep you informed without distraction — so your attention stays exactly where it belongs: on the breath.
Also known as Sama Vritti Pranayama, the 4-4-4-4 method is rooted in the yogic tradition and refined for modern use. Every session is guided with real-time visual cues and optional instructions so you always know exactly where you are in the cycle.
Dial in your perfect session. Set a start delay, choose your Inhale–Hold–Exhale–Pause counts, configure cycles and rounds, and see the total session time update instantly. Switch to the Ambience tab to pick ambient music, toggle voice-over, and control animations.
Monthly and yearly streak calendars make your consistency visible at a glance. See every session completed, track average and best streaks, and protect your progress with Skip Day when life gets in the way.
Weekly, monthly, and all-time stats give you a clear picture of your practice. See sessions completed, total breathing cycles, and cumulative duration — all in a clean dashboard that rewards showing up.
Rate each session, add notes, and revisit past practices using the built-in calendar. Your journal turns individual moments into a visible record of growth — and Skip Day ensures a missed session never breaks your streak.
Set a daily minute goal, choose which days to practice, and schedule smart reminders. Time-based nudges arrive when you need calm most — and location-based reminders trigger automatically when you reach the office, gym, or home.
Choose your color theme and display mode. Purple or blue, light, dark, or auto — the app should feel as calming to look at as the practice itself. A breathing app you actually want to open.
Compete on daily, weekly, and monthly leaderboards. Earn achievements, badges, gems, and unlock special event rewards. Breathwork is better when you share it — challenge your friends and family to breathe more.
