Breathly - Just Breathe

Near perfect. Only nitpicks is that I'd like to set the background and text colours myself as I like to meditate in complete darkness. The bell cue is very nice. It'd be a tiny bit better if we could pick other subtle sounds like a drop of water or a dull bass beat. But I think I'll be sticking with this app from now on :)

I really like the app. It looks clean and is easy to use, but there is just one minor thing that really annoys me. The app constantly keeps the screen awake, without giving me an option to deactivate that. I use the sleep exercises to fall asleep and then if I fall asleep during the exercise my phone is drained in the morning and won't wake me up anymore. Please give us an option to deactivate the forced active screen.

This really helps me, especially the deep calm breathing pattern. Fantastic if you are looking at the screen because it paces you when the inhale, hold and exhale have a different length (4,7,8) The vibrate on step change is also super useful if you can't look at the screen. The only thing I'd really love is a better visualization for when you are holding your breath, but that's a pretty minor quibble. It's great. Try it.

Hi, I really like the app! I don't think I will continue to use it as I need something where I can change pattern in the middle of a session, but if I didn't need this it'd be great. I prefer to change on the fly, but if enough people wanted it maybe consider adding something where, when setting up the pattern in advance, you can set multiple sets of patterns with a duration for each? Would also love to pick colors, and more sounds. But honestly this really is a lovely app, thank you!!

Wonderful app with great UI and functionality but can definitely be improved. Like others have said, the four numbers are a little bit confusing as to what they could possibly mean. Also, I can only switch breathing techniques by swiping on the text, not anywhere else. I am even confused whether I have successfully changed the breathing technique because I'm mot sure if I should press "Back" or "Pick a technique", which looks clickable.

I love the breathing exercises in this app and I want to give it five stars but I personally can't take how bright it is. I use it at night in bed and it's so brightly colored it distracts me and disturbs my sleeping partner. The night mode seems perfect but it changes back to the bright screens when the excercises start. If only it would keep the soothing dark screen during all excercises it would be the perfect app. If you use this only during the day you will love it.

Simple and beautifully designed. I appreciate the lack of ads and purchases too. It would be great if the app had landscape support for tablets though. Consider also expanding the area for scrolling when chosing breathing modes to include the entire screen, currently you have to swipe the area of the text, which took a few frustrated swipes to figure out. Looking forward to more releases :)

This app is just great!! The best I found so far. If there would be one thing that could be improved would be to have a visual countdown for each part (inhale, exhale, hold) separately, that way would be easier to manage the inhales and exhales, so for example I dont run out of air before the exhale part is over.

I once had a fitness tracker, since lost, that had a breathing exercise feature which was the only thing I missed about it. I've been searching for an app to replace it and Breathly is finally it! It's sleek and straightforward, while still being very attractive and customizable, and I find myself engaged seamlessly. Really beautiful, powerful app that I'll be getting highly acquainted with for all my pranayama needs.

Simple app for mindful breathing. Exactly what I was looking for. Easy to change the breathing options. There are 4 numbers listed under the names of each option that I believe indicate the pattern of breathing in, holding breathing out, and holding. Also a nice description of each breathing pattern, if its more energising or relaxing. I also like the timer feature.

I love the simplicity! And I am thrilled to see the custom timed setting! I like to inhale for 5 seconds through my nose, hold for 5 seconds, and fully exhale for 15 seconds through my mouth, then pause for 2 seconds, and repeat! I can do that with this app perfectly for my specific lung capacity. Thank you so much for this simple 'does exactly what it claims to do' app. It's a real ... breath of fresh air! :)

Nice idea, but it must be for people with the lungs of a mouse! I couldn't find a control to change the timing of the breathing pattern. I'll play with it further, but I need twice as long to breath in and out... Reply to developer: It's not the STYLE I need to change, it's the SPEED - I breath slower than the app.

Great app! simple but nice. four out of five because of one major shortcoming: please make a custom timer! Now we can only choose between 2, 5, or 7 minutes, or infinite. I would love to decide my own timings... edit: after response of creator, now a 5 out of 5 in anticipation! one more suggested feature: can you add the option to save some custom breathing patterns?

Wonderful app comes with handy breathing exercises. Pleasantly simple, nice gentle guided voices and sounds. Perhaps, having a widget with preferred exercises, and being able to adjust breathing intervals in settings, especially for holding your breath would be useful. Also, reminders could be an option too. But it's a great app! 😴 🧘‍♂️

Love the app. Love the simple design, visualization of the breathing pattern and find the vibration helpful too. I'd love if there could be an option to visualize better how long to hold the breath, I find that part difficult. I'd also love an exercise that might help falling asleep.

Really liked it! Simple and just perfect app for breathing exercises and meditation. However, doing for 7 minutes is not enough. Please provide an option of 10 ,15, 20 ,30 mins too in the settings. And may be a graph for duration and consistency.

The best app for breathing exercises I found. Five built-in presets plus a custom one. Dark mode. Voice, sound or vibration guidance. Timer. No ads. It would be nice if multiple custom presets could be named and saved. It would be even more comfortable for me if the preset could be changed by swiping on the home screen.

Love the app! Its straight forward and easy to use. The only improvement i would like to see is to be able to shut my screen off and have the app keep going. Oh, and i would love to have more breathing patterns to choose from! ☺

This app has helped me change my life! Great work on the gui. Sharp, simple, and very intuitive. If I may suggest, to have the ability of the app to run in the background while it is minimized or when the screen is not active. -Cheers, Inhale...

Splendid and uncomplicated! It meets my need perfectly. Options of breathing templates or complete pattern customization. Haptic vibration and/or guided sound option. I'm looking forward to regular use of this wonderful resource and self support at my fingertips! Thank you so much!

This should be the most popular breathing app out there! Has ALL the functions I need, pre-progtammed and customized breathing features, great and simple UI. Plus, it's also free with no outgoing connections (personally checked with firewall). I'd pay a few bucks for this privacy-respecting, well designed app!

Wish it had a place for notifications to set reminders throughout the day, aside from that this is a great app VERY clean looking simple & easy to use no ads (which is phenomenal) or annoying glitches, very soothing voice option love the dark theme. Definitely one of my favorite breathing/calming apps great for mental health! Thank you!

Brilliantly simple. Exactly what you need for a breathing exercises app with out all the extra fluff. Visuals provide a good prompt. No ads, no harassing notifications. Enough customisations to make it personal but keep it simple. Love it

Thank you for giving us this free simple yet very helpful app without any obligations. There are many similar 'free' apps out there asking for permissions to access photos, media and contacts, etc... etc... which has nothing to do with its applications. Therefore, I am very happy and grateful for your sincere gift.

Screen off feature is missing in this application. I have found thid application as one of the best application with very neat and clean interface. Very easy to use. Request you to please screen off feature. Who will see screen when someone is focusing on breathing.
