Somatic: Guided Breathing
Somatic: Guided Breathing is a Apple app.
Description
Somatic is a calm, beautifully simple guided breathing app. Pick a rhythm, follow a gentle animated orb that paces every inhale and exhale, and let your breath settle your mind.
BREATHE WITH INTENTION
• Proven patterns — Box Breathing, 4-7-8, Coherent, and Equal Breathing
• Build your own rhythm with custom inhale, hold, and exhale timing
• A flowing orb and soft cues guide each phase so you can close your eyes and follow along
CUES THAT FIT YOU
• Choose your chime sound — Tone, Chime, or Wood — and set its volume
• Gentle per-phase haptics with adjustable strength
• Prefer silence? Turn any cue off and breathe to the visual alone
KEEP GOING, HANDS-FREE
• A Live Activity shows your current phase and countdown on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
• Sessions keep running with the screen locked or the app in the background
• Calls and other audio pause your session automatically, then pick up where you left off
SEE YOUR PRACTICE
• Review every session in a clean history with mindful minutes and completion stats
• Set a weekly goal and watch your streak grow
• Sessions can sync to Apple Health as mindful minutes
Whether you need a moment of focus before a meeting or a slow wind-down before sleep, Somatic gives you a quiet, screen-light way to come back to your breath.
