Because breathwork apps should cost less than a cup of coffee, forever.
Lie down, rest your iPhone on your chest and close your eyes. Breath Body guides you with touch, sound and a soft light, so there's nothing to watch.
Almost every breathing app is a circle in the middle of a screen.
It rests on your chest
The motion sensors feel your breathing and how the phone is lying, and the haptics swell through the whole breath instead of tapping at the start and end.
The sound is a wave
A stereo field built for lying on your back, rising and falling with each breath.
The screen is a lamp
Face-up in a dark room it becomes a soft glow, so it lights the room rather than asking to be looked at.
For eyes open, too
Glassy blobs merge into one at the top of the in-breath and drift apart at the bottom of the out-breath. Tilt the phone and they shift. Touch the screen and your fingers pull them around.
Simple counts
In, out and a break. Set the session length, pace, haptics, sound and light, and see a trace of your breathing when you finish.
Nothing leaves your phone
No account, no tracking, no network connections. Your settings are the only thing it keeps.

Breath Body — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 5 October 2026
Breath Body is a breathing app for iPhone. It is built to work entirely on your device. We don't collect, store, sell or share any of your personal information.
What we collect
Nothing. Breath Body has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no third-party code that collects data. The app makes no network connections.
What the app uses on your device
Motion sensors. During a session, Breath Body reads your iPhone's motion sensors (the accelerometer and gyroscope) to sense your breathing and how the phone is resting. These readings are processed live on your device, used only to guide the session, and thrown away when the session ends. They are never saved or sent anywhere.
Your session. The breath trace shown at the end of a session is kept in memory only, and is gone when you leave that screen or close the app.
Settings. Your preferences, such as session length, breathing pace, haptics, sound and light, are saved on your device so the app remembers them next time. They stay on your iPhone and may be included in your device backups (iCloud or computer), as Apple's backup settings decide.
Haptics, sound and screen. The app uses the Taptic Engine, speaker and screen brightness to guide your breathing. It doesn't use the microphone or camera.
Health information
Breath Body doesn't read from or write to Apple Health, and it doesn't create any health records. It isn't a medical device and doesn't diagnose, treat or monitor any condition.
Children
Breath Body collects no data from anyone, including children.
Deleting your data
The only data the app keeps is your settings. Deleting the app removes them.
Changes to this policy
If the app ever changes how it handles data, we'll update this policy and the date above before that change ships.
