Breathwork that works
Guided breathing that shows how good the evidence is for each technique.
Choose a state — calm, focus, energy, sleep — and follow one breathing light. No instructor on screen, no mysticism. With Apple Health connected, Orbreath shows what your heart did around each session; the readings stay on your phone.

technique carries an evidence grade, and every study-backed claim links its source, including when the evidence is early. (The two ambient formats make no claim.)
a day of cyclic sighing improved mood more than mindfulness meditation in one randomised controlled trial (about 30 people in that arm).

Choose a state
Not by mood. By what it does to your body.
Calm
DOWN-REGULATE
For when you want to slow down. Longer exhales are linked to higher heart-rate variability.
Focus
EQUILIBRIUM
Before deep work or a hard conversation. Equal ratios hold you steady.
Energy
UP-REGULATE
Inhale-led patterns for a gentle lift. Evidence is thin — the one trial on this ratio favoured longer exhales.
Sleep
DEEP REST
Slow breathing before bed. One small pilot found deep-sleep markers rose; we grade it emerging.
The evidence
Each technique links to its paper and shows how strong the evidence is, including where the answer is ‘not much yet’.
Where a technique leans on published research, the citation rides along with the session, graded by strength and with the caveats included.
CALM · EMERGING EVIDENCE
Cyclic Sighing
In one randomised controlled trial, five minutes a day of exhale-focused cyclic sighing improved mood more than mindfulness meditation. The sighing arm was about 30 people, so we grade it emerging.
