Breathe Free: Box Breathing

Guided box breathing on your wrist — free. An animated circle grows as you inhale, holds, and shrinks as you exhale, with a different gentle vibration for each phase so you can follow it with your eyes closed. Box Breathing 4-4-4-4 — inhale 4 seconds, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4. The tactical or square breathing used by Navy SEALs for focus and calm under pressure, and the easiest breathing pattern to learn. FREE, FOREVER - A smooth animated breathing circle with a glow effect. - A different vibration for inhale, hold and exhale, set to off, gentle or strong. - Session length from 1 to 60 minutes. - A daily streak and your minutes this week on the start screen. - Calming dark display, cycle counter, pause and resume. - No phone, no account, no internet, no ads. CONTROLS Press Start or tap to begin a session, and again to pause or resume. Back ends it early. Session length and vibration are in Settings, opened from the start screen: press MENU, or touch and hold the screen if your watch has no MENU button.
