iOS: Anyone struggling with stress understands that even a little time to relax can help a lot, and Breathe for iPhone is an app that walks you through simple breathing exercises to help you relax, de-stress, and find a little peace.
Strictly, Breathe is a bit of “an app that shows you how to breathe,” but it also helps you visualize your breathing so you focus on each breath—not on the things that are stressing you out. Whether you like to do breathing meditation or you just want to take a few minutes at the office, stuck in traffic or on the train home, or before you start or end your day to do a few breathing exercises, the app can help. You can customize how long you want to inhale, hold, or exhale, and the app offers pointers to help you out, too. You can see how it works in the video above.
Apple announced a similar app for watchOS at WWDC, but you don’t need iOS 10 or an Apple Watch to make use of this. If you want to give it a try, you can check it out at the link below. It’s completely free.
