What Is It

Breathey is an iPhone breathing exercise app from Amaze Labs, positioned as a “quiet breathing tool.” It does not use streaks, badges, leaderboards, or score-based incentives. Instead, it uses a circular guide, timer, haptic feedback, and optional ambient sounds to help users with short self-regulation sessions before sleep, during work breaks, or in stressful moments. It is worth noting that the captured text does not show any AI model or generative capabilities, so it should be categorized more as a health/mindfulness tool than a typical AI app.

Core Features

The app includes four built-in breathing modes: 4-7-8 for sleep, Box breathing for focus, Coherent breathing for balance, and Physiological sigh for a quick reset. Users can adjust the inhale, hold, exhale, and pause durations by the second. The experience emphasizes low distraction: one main interface, one reminder, and a calendar-style practice log, without creating the psychological burden of “failing to complete a task.” Haptic cues can guide phase transitions with eyes closed, while ambient sounds include rain, ocean, and low-frequency drone, with the option to keep everything completely silent.

Pricing and Privacy

The core features are currently free forever, including the four modes, timer, and journal. No account or email is required, and the app supports fully offline use. The official plan is to introduce a small paid tier in the future for additional ambient soundscapes and extra modes, but pricing has not been disclosed. In terms of privacy, the page emphasizes that sessions are stored on-device by default, with no ads and no trackers. Optional Apple sign-in is available for cross-device backup, and users can delete local data, cloud backups, and their Firebase account in settings. However, the terms also mention Firebase Analytics/Crashlytics, which appears to require further verification against the claim of “no analytics SDK.”

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

The strengths are its minimal design, free access, quick onboarding, lack of account pressure, and relatively anxiety-friendly experience. The drawbacks are that it is currently available only on iOS, with Android expected in early 2026; it is not a medical device and cannot replace therapy or medication; and it does not offer an AI coach, course system, or complex personalized assessment. It is suitable for users who want a low-cost way to build a breathing practice habit, relax before bed, or regain focus during work.

Access in China

The captured text does not specify network accessibility in mainland China, App Store regional availability, or Chinese language support, so access in China is currently unknown.
