    How the Breathing Timer works:

    Choose how many seconds you want to spend inhaling, holding, exhaling, and optionally pausing after the exhale. The timer guides you through those phases repeatedly until the selected session time is complete.

    The breathing circle expands during the inhale and contracts during the exhale. During hold phases, the circle remains in position.

    You can use one of the included patterns or create your own. A value of 0 seconds removes either hold phase completely.
    Comfort note: Breathing exercises should feel comfortable rather than forced. You do not need to complete long breath holds or a particular pattern. Stop and return to your normal breathing if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, short of breath, or otherwise uncomfortable.

  • A Breathing Timer provides a visual guide for practicing slow, controlled breathing at a consistent pace. Choose how long you want to inhale, hold your breath, exhale, and pause after the exhale, then select the total length of your breathing session.

    The timer guides you through each phase automatically. The visual circle expands while you inhale and contracts while you exhale, making it possible to follow the exercise without continuously watching a numerical countdown. Optional gentle audio cues can also signal when the next breathing phase begins.

    Several common patterns are included for convenience, including equal breathing, box breathing, a longer-exhale pattern, and 4-7-8 breathing. You can also create your own timing pattern. Setting either hold to zero removes that phase from the cycle.

    A breathing timer can be useful when practicing breath pacing, preparing for singing or speaking, taking a quiet break, or simply experimenting with different controlled-breathing patterns.

    There is no requirement to match a particular preset. Breath capacity and comfort vary from person to person, and longer holds are not automatically better.

    Tip: Choose a pattern that allows you to breathe smoothly without gasping or straining. If a four-second inhale or long breath hold feels uncomfortable, shorten it. Stop the exercise and return to normal breathing if you become dizzy, lightheaded, short of breath, or uncomfortable.
