Noticeable changes. Calmer days. Respiro is a free guided breathing app for anyone who wants calmer evenings and a simple, science-informed wind-down habit. It uses paced slow breathing (often around 5–6 breaths per minute) that you can feel during practice, with optional session summaries based on Apple Health or Health Connect data, when connected. ### Modern breathing practice Respiro offers guided breathing programs inspired by scientific literature and mindfulness practices. The app supports healthy daily habits and greater awareness of your breathing and body. - Science-informed: Sessions are based on well-known breathing techniques and current research. Respiro is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. - Track your practice: Optionally view heart rate or HRV-related session data to better understand how your body responds to breathing practice. - Simple & accessible: Mobile-first design allows you to practice anywhere — at home, at work, or on the go. ### The Respiro app Guided slow breathing, clear pacing, and optional session insights — without trying to turn your phone into a medical device. - Paced slow breathing sessions: Sessions around the slow range (~5–6 breaths per minute) that research tests most often for autonomic effects — plus box, 4-7-8, and other patterns. Visual and haptic timing so you do not have to count in your head. - Programs that build habit: Structured programs, including a beginner-friendly path, so daily practice feels simple and doable — consistency over intensity. - Optional HRV & history: When enabled, see HRV-related session data from Apple Health or Health Connect. Useful for self-observation, not medical interpretation. - Minimal, multilingual UI: A quiet interface in multiple languages so attention stays on the breath — not on menus. ### Download the app Get Respiro on your phone — completely free. Start your first guided session in under two minutes. - Pricing: Respiro is a free guided slow-breathing app for iOS & Android — education and wellbeing, not a medical device. - iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/respiro-breath-calm/id6759007390 - Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gnychlukaszlab.respiro ### Partner with Respiro Offer science-informed breathing tools to clients, students, or teams — clearly framed as education and wellbeing, not clinical care. - Coaches & educators: Teach paced breathing with an app that explains the science clearly and states its limits openly. Not for diagnosis, treatment, or replacing licensed care. - Workplace wellbeing: Short guided sessions employees can use between meetings — without pseudoscience or medical promises. - Sports & training environments: Complement warm-ups, cool-downs, and mental skills work with paced breathing. Not a substitute for sport medicine when it is needed. ### Privacy, science & integrity Built with data minimization in mind — and clear limits on what breathing apps can honestly claim. - Research-informed product: We focus on slow-paced breathing and HRV-related physiology that is well supported in reviews, and we cite primary sources on this page. - Privacy-first: Encryption and GDPR-aligned processing. We do not sell personal data. Apple Health / Health Connect data is only accessed with your consent, during sessions you choose to start. - Not a medical device: Respiro does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. HRV from consumer devices is imperfect; use it for self-awareness, not clinical decisions. ## Privacy Policy ### Privacy Policy – Respiro: Breath & Calm Respiro does not require a user account.
