Description
A box breathing & 4-7-8 timer that respects your time and privacy. Use guided techniques for calm, better sleep, stress relief, and focus—with a haptic breath pacer, smart reminders, custom routines, and optional Apple Health integration. No ads. No tracking. No subscription.
BREATHING TECHNIQUES FOR EVERY MOMENT
Each pattern includes a clear explanation of why it works and when to use it:
• Box Breathing — focus and grounding using the tactical breathing rhythm practiced by first responders and athletes
• 4-7-8 Relaxation — a long-exhale technique to help you fall asleep and unwind after a difficult day
• Deep Calm — a 4-2-6 mental reset for anxious moments and quick pauses
• Coherent Breathing — a balanced 5-in, 5-out rhythm for everyday practice
• Extended Exhale — a longer exhale designed to ease anxiety, panic, and stress loops
• Resonance Breathing — a precise pace within the HRV biofeedback range
• More patterns for sleep, energy, relaxation, and deep focus
A HAPTIC BREATH PACER
A single animated breathing ring guides each inhale, hold, and exhale. Gentle haptic taps keep you in rhythm so you can close your eyes—or continue with the screen off. Pause, resume, end, or extend your session whenever you need.
YOUR PRACTICE, YOUR WAY
• Save your favorite patterns for quick access
• Set reminders for weekdays, weekends, or any combination
• Create custom breathing patterns with your own timings
• See your recent practice and total minutes of calm
• Optionally save completed sessions to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes
PRIVACY FIRST
Your practice history is stored locally on your device. Breo doesn’t collect analytics, usage data, or breathing history, and it works without an account.
If you choose to connect Apple Health, Breo requests write-only access to save completed breathing sessions as Mindful Minutes. Breo does not read your other Health data.
UNLOCK MORE
The free version includes core patterns with full functionality. Upgrade once—no subscription or recurring fees—to unlock more breathing patterns, the custom pattern builder, and deeper session customization.
