BreatheFirst: Calm & Breathe

BreatheFirst is emergency calm in your pocket. Guided breathing, grounding, and a nervous-system reset that takes one minute. Free, no sign-up, works offline. WHEN ANXIETY SPIKES • SOS Calm: one tap starts guided 4-7-8 breathing, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding and calming affirmations. About two minutes. • 60-Second Nervous System Reset: long exhales, humming, then a cold-water cue. Three simple steps that tell your vagus nerve you are safe. BREATHING THAT GROWS WITH YOU Box, 4-7-8, Relax, Physiological Sigh, Alternate Nostril, and BreatheSync, which matches your breath to your heartbeat. Every session you complete earns progress toward a new level, and each level unlocks a slower, deeper pattern: Slow Box, Coherent Breathing, Long Exhale, Deep Box, Triangle and Slow Wave. Or build your own pattern. SEE WHAT A SESSION DOES Rate how calm you feel before you start and again when you finish. On iPhone with Apple Watch, BreatheFirst also shows your heart rate before and after and your latest HRV. Every session saves Mindful Minutes to Apple Health, and a Live Activity keeps the breathing rhythm on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. BREATHING GARDEN A flower that blooms as you breathe in and folds as you breathe out. Choose one, three or five minutes. Petals drift on every exhale; a tap scatters fireflies. Sessions count toward your streak. TALK TO CALM Calm is an AI wellness companion powered by Claude. Type or just talk: hold the mic, say how you feel, and get warm, practical guidance and the right exercise for the moment. Conversations are private and are not stored.
