iBreathe
An app that times your inhale, hold and exhale with a simple guide.
What iBreathe does
iBreathe is a small, minimal breathing app from an independent developer. It has preset breathing exercises, lets you make your own inhale, hold and exhale timings, and runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch.
iBreathe does one thing: it times your breathing. Open it, pick an exercise, and follow the simple animation. There are no menus to dig through.
You can build custom exercises with your own timings, set daily reminders, log mindful minutes to Apple Health, and use it from a Lock Screen widget or your Apple Watch.
The free version has ads. Small one-time purchases remove them or add Premium, with no subscription.
A good way to start: try a preset for a few days, then make a custom exercise with the timings that feel comfortable. Add the Lock Screen widget or the Apple Watch app so a breathing break is one tap away when you need it.
