How to Use Deep Breath

Deep Breath - Breathing Exercise

A petal animation guides your breathing. Follow the rhythm of inhale, hold, and exhale.

Breathe along with the petals

Open the app and match your breathing to the petal animation. Inhale, hold, exhale - the shape tells you which phase you are in, so you don’t have to count.

Pick a breathing pattern

Six presets are built in, including 4-7-8 breathing and box breathing. If none of them fit, set your own pattern with custom timings.

Choose how long to sit

A session runs from one minute to as long as you want. Add one of 19 ambient sounds (nature, water, melody, or space) if silence isn’t what you need.

Build the habit

Session history and a heatmap calendar show the days you showed up, and streak tracking keeps the run going. Set reminders for the times and days that suit you.
