A calmer minute, whenever you need it.
Box Breathing guides the 4-4-4-4 breath (inhale, hold, exhale, hold) with a single orb that grows and settles with every phase. A dark, quiet space to slow down. Coming very soon to iPhone and Apple Watch; already available on Android.
Breathe better, with no noise or clutter
The practice is always free. You choose how much and how.
Three rhythms, plus custom
Box 4-4-4-4, Relax 4-7-8 and Even 5-5-5-5, plus an editor to build your own pattern. Take one minute or twenty, or set your own length.
A guiding orb
A single orb paces every phase of the breath, growing as you inhale and settling as you exhale, with a slow color drift. In three styles.
Voice, haptics and sound
Optional voice cues, gentle haptics, phase tones and ambient soundscapes (rain, sea, a warm drone…) to keep you company.
Calendar and milestones
A month calendar and quiet milestones that log your practice: markers, not trophies. Watch the minutes add up.
Reminders that adapt
Daily nudges that learn your usual hour, and a gentle reminder if a few days slip by. You set the pace.
Widgets, Live Activity and Watch
Start from a Home-Screen widget, follow the session with a Live Activity, and breathe on your wrist with the Apple Watch app (on iPhone).
How it breathes
Dark, quiet and to the point.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Yes. The breathing practice is always free. To keep it that way, the free version shows some ads. Box Breathing Plus (optional) removes them and adds extras.
What does Box Breathing Plus include?
Ad-free, every soundscape, all accents and themes, custom patterns and your full history. It's available as a monthly or yearly subscription (with a 7-day free trial) or as a one-time lifetime unlock.
Do I need an account?
No. The app works without sign-up, and your sessions, history and settings are stored on your device.
Does it work offline?
Yes. You can practice offline; the internet is only needed for ads in the free version.
Is it available on iPhone and Apple Watch?
The Android version is already on Google Play. The iPhone (iOS) version, with an Apple Watch app, is in testing and will arrive on the App Store very soon.
Is this medical advice?
No. Box Breathing is a wellness and relaxation tool, not a medical device or a substitute for medical care. If you have a respiratory or heart condition, check with a professional before practicing.
