About Anila Breath
Anila is a breathwork app you can make your own — and it's beautiful enough that you'll want to. Start in one tap: the Breathe tab offers a practice suited to the time of day, and a luminous orb paces every breath with optional haptic taps, so you can close your eyes and simply follow the feeling. THE LIBRARY Coherent breathing, box, 4-7-8, the physiological sigh, extended exhale, alternate-nostril, Ujjayi, a CO₂ tolerance ladder and more — grouped by how you want to feel: Calm, Sleep, Energize, Focus, Balance. FIND YOUR PACE Slide to the breathing rate that feels easy, watch the orb take it up, then practise at exactly that rhythm — your own resonance, not a textbook's. BUILD YOUR OWN Presets and your own creations share one format, so you can assemble any pattern of inhale, hold, exhale and stillness — mixing breathwork and meditation into a single savable timeline. A DAILY ROUTINE Pin the practices you return to, and see your rhythm in the You tab: mindful minutes, your week at a glance, and a streak that only counts sessions you actually breathed. LEARN Nine long-form essays on the breath — the first five minutes, why the exhale calms, resonance, carbon dioxide, a short history of pranayama — with drawn diagrams, plus an FAQ, a full guide, and a science page with named citations and honest limitations. THE KRIYA PATH An optional, gently gated journey into a contemplative tradition, with its teachings, a glossary, and original illustrations. APPLE WATCH Standalone sessions on your wrist with haptic pacing — practise with the screen down and just feel each change of breath. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Fully offline. No account, no tracking, no ads, and no servers to send anything to. Your practice stays on your device, and completed sessions can be saved to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes — on your device only. Anila is for personal practice and reflection. It is not medical advice and does not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition. Some advanced practices (forceful breathing, breath holds) ask you to confirm you're set up safely before they begin. Stop and breathe normally if you ever feel dizzy or unwell.
What’s new
Version 1.9 · Updated September 10, 2026
Anila 1.9 — rounds that build themselves. • Built your rounds by hand, one segment per round? The Builder now notices segments that repeat the same breath and offers to merge them into one segment with its rounds set. The session plays exactly the same — and one edit then reaches every round. • Every segment now shows its rounds at a glance ("7 phases · 10 rounds · 4 min"), so the number that multiplies your cycle is never out of sight. • The guide says it in one line: segments are for different parts — breathing, then stillness — and rounds do the repeating. • Minutes everywhere you choose a practice: quick breaths and "pick up where you left off" now show their length before you tap. • Locking your phone simply pauses the breath — your place is kept, the paused screen now says so, and the guide explains it (with a pointer to the Watch app for phone-down practice). As always: private by design, fully offline, no account.
