About Inhale: Box Breathing Timer
Inhale guides you through short breathing sessions for moments when you want to pause and reset. Choose from 5 guided exercises — Box Breathing used by Navy SEALs, the 4-7-8 method by Dr. Weil, Cyclic Sighing from Stanford research, and more. HOW IT WORKS - Pick a technique and set your number of cycles - Follow the animated breathing circle - Feel gentle haptic vibrations guiding each breath - Close your eyes — your phone guides you BREATHE WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED The haptics carry the rhythm on their own: a tap when to breathe in, a tap when to breathe out, a different pattern for the holds. That means a session works in a meeting room, on a bus or in the dark at three in the morning, with the screen face down and nothing to watch. It is the difference between an app you have to look at and one you can actually use when you need it. THE FIVE TECHNIQUES - Box Breathing — equal 4-4-4-4, sixteen seconds a cycle - 4-7-8 Sleep — a long exhale for winding down - Cyclic Sighing — a double inhale and a long exhale - Coherent Breathing — even five-second breaths, six a minute - Power Breath — fast two-second cycles when you need alertness FEATURES - 5 breathing techniques backed by research - Ambient sounds: rain, ocean, night forest, pink & brown noise - Haptic guidance — breathe without watching the screen - Session tracking with streaks and statistics - Dark, minimal UI — no distractions NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS There is no sign-up, no advertising and no analytics SDK. Your session history stays on your iPhone, and nothing is sent anywhere. LIFETIME UNLOCK Three techniques, all ambient sounds, haptic guidance, and statistics are free. A one-time purchase adds Coherent Breathing and Power Breath. No subscription. Inhale is designed for general wellness and relaxation. It is not a medical device.
