Your nervous system is doing too much.

Phone always on.

Six hours of screen time and counting. Your nervous system never gets a break.

Anxiety spikes.

Emails, deadlines, notifications. Your body is stuck in fight-or-flight.

Can’t sleep.

Mind keeps running laps at 1 AM. You need something that stops the noise.

Overthinking.

You’ve been staring at the same problem for an hour and it’s only getting louder.

Racing heart.

Before a meeting, a flight, a difficult conversation. You need to steady yourself in under two minutes.

Can’t focus.

You opened the doc. Then a tab. Then another tab. Now it’s lunch and nothing got done.

How it works

Three steps. About two minutes.

1

Pick a pattern

Start with Calm if you’re new. Box for focus. 4-7-8 for sleep. Wim Hof when you want energy. Set your rounds, your ambient sound, and go.

2

Follow the bloom

An animated 11-petal circle expands on the inhale and contracts on the exhale. Your eyes do the work. Haptics sync the rhythm if your phone is face-down.

3

Feel the shift

Cortisol drops. Heart rate variability rises. Your streak ticks up. Close the app. Physiology, not wellness marketing. It works even when you’re skeptical.

Features

Everything a breathing app needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Four breathing patterns

Calm Breathing for everyday resets. Box Breathing for focus. 4-7-8 for sleep. Wim Hof for energy. Each one is a different tool for a different state.

Wim Hof — guided and freestyle

Most apps only give you a fixed hold. BreathSesh lets you pick a preset (30, 60, 90 seconds) or go freestyle and tap to end. Your real hold time is recorded either way.

Ambient sounds

Four built-in soundscapes — Gentle Rain, Forest Morning, Ocean Calm, Silent Focus. Or turn them off and let the haptics guide you.

Streaks and history

Every session is saved on-device. Watch your streak grow and review completed sessions by date, pattern, and duration.

Home-screen widget

A small widget that shows today’s streak and launches straight into a session. One tap from your Home Screen to calm.

Siri & Shortcuts

Start a session hands-free. Say "Hey Siri, start a Box Breathing session" or wire BreathSesh into your existing Shortcuts and Focus automations.

Use cases

A different pattern for a different moment.

Morning wake-up

Replace the doom scroll with 2 minutes of Wim Hof. Wakes you up better than a second coffee, without the crash.

Pre-meeting calm

Box Breathing between a tough Slack message and a call. Steadies your voice and your hands before you hit join.

Sleep wind-down

4-7-8 in the dark, phone face-down, haptics leading. Extended exhales activate the parasympathetic response.

Panic reset

Calm Breathing when your chest tightens and you can’t think. Designed to work the first time, even if you’ve never done breathwork.

Frequently asked questions

What is BreathSesh?
A focused breathing app for iPhone. Pick a pattern, follow the animated bloom, and let your nervous system settle. Designed for sessions under two minutes.
What’s free and what costs money?
Calm Breathing is free forever. The three advanced patterns — Box Breathing, 4-7-8, and Wim Hof — unlock together with a single $7.99 one-time purchase. No subscription, no renewal.
Which breathing patterns are included?
Calm Breathing (a simple inhale-exhale rhythm, free), Box Breathing (4-4-4-4 equal phases), 4-7-8 (extended hold), and Wim Hof (30 rapid breaths followed by a retention hold, across 1–5 rounds).
How does Wim Hof work in the app?
Two modes. Guided mode uses a fixed retention hold you select up front (30, 60, or 90 seconds). Freestyle mode lets you hold as long as you want and tap to end — your actual hold time is recorded. Both support 1–5 rounds with rest between.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay $7.99 one time to unlock the three premium patterns. You keep them on every device signed into the same Apple ID.
Do my sessions sync across devices?
Yes, through your personal iCloud account via CloudKit. We have no servers and cannot see your data. Sign out of iCloud and the sync stops.
Does BreathSesh use the microphone?
No. BreathSesh doesn’t request microphone access, camera access, location, or contacts. It only asks for permission to send you one daily reminder if you enable it.
How does the streak work?
Complete at least one full breathing session on a given day and your streak advances. Miss a day and it resets. You can see your full history on the streak screen.
