My favorite breathing app:
I highly recommend the Breath App developed by the renowned yogi Eddie Stern. This app, available in the app store, is incredibly simple and effective. Its straightforward design allows for a seamless user experience.
Personally, I find this app indispensable whenever I struggle to focus on my own, which happens about once a day. It has become a regular companion during my train journeys, proving to be very helpful in maintaining a sense of calm and relaxation.
There's also about 10,000 breathing apps in the App stores, so just download one that you like. Eddie's app is simple and it works. Plus he is a great yoga teacher in New York.

totally agree with this – the best breathing apps are usually the ones that do one thing and don’t get in the way.
i also think there’s a big difference between “wellness platform” apps and just a simple breathing timer you can open when you actually need it.
full disclosure, i’m the dev of an iPhone app called Breo. i built it for that same simple use case: box breathing, 4-7-8, extended exhale, coherent breathing, with haptics / voice cues, no ads and no subscription.
obviously biased, but could be useful for people who want something minimal and offline. happy to share the link if useful 🙏
