BreathCare

Breathe with the ball. Nothing to chase.

BreathCare is a breathing pacer for iPhone. Pick a mode and a length, then breathe with a ball that grows and shrinks while a soft tone and gentle haptics keep the same beat — so you can close your eyes, or put the phone face down, and still follow it.

Four ways in

• Calm

  4 · 4 · 4 · 4

  Four in, four hold, four out, four hold. Nothing to chase.

• Sleep

  4 · 7 · 8 · 0

  Long exhales to slow the heart before you lie down.

• Energy

  2 · 0 · 2 · 0

  Short, quick breaths to lift the head before work.

• Personalized

  your counts

  Set inhale, hold, exhale and hold yourself, from 1 to 20 seconds each.

What it does, and what it doesn't

• One to twenty minutes. Sessions end on a whole breath, never mid-exhale.
• Sound you choose. Three tones — Sine, Synth, Bowl — and an optional bed of Forest, River or Drone.
• Reminders for the times of day you want to breathe, and a quiet record of your streak.
• Apple Health, if you allow it. Finished sessions are written as Mindful Minutes. Nothing is read from Health.
• No account. Your sessions, patterns and reminders stay on your iPhone. Read exactly what leaves it.

BreathCare is a wellness app, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent anything. Stop if you feel light-headed or unwell.
