478 & Box Breathing: Slowtide

Slowtide is a calm breathing app for 4-7-8 breathing (478 breathing), box breathing and every other classic technique, and it keeps guiding you when your screen goes dark. Every classic technique is free, forever, with light ads: no account, and it works offline. WHY SLOWTIDE Many breathing apps stop the moment the screen turns off, pause your music or podcast, or put the basic exercises behind a paywall. Slowtide was built the other way round. The guiding tones are generated live on your phone and timed to the exact sample, so they never skip or drift. The session keeps running in the background and with the screen off, and your own music or podcast keeps playing while you breathe. 10 CLASSIC TECHNIQUES, ALL FREE • 4-7-8 breathing for winding down before sleep • Box breathing 4-4-4-4 for calm and focus • Coherent breathing at 5.5 breaths per minute • Physiological sigh • Extended exhale 4-6 • Humming for the vagus nerve 4-8 • Triangle breathing 4-4-4 • Energy 4-0-2 • Focus 4-4-6 • Ratio breathing 1-4-2 MADE FOR EYES-CLOSED BREATHING • Keeps going with the screen off and in the background • Your own music or podcast keeps playing, Slowtide never pauses it • Tones generated live and timed to the sample, so they never jump • Vibration as the beat, also with the screen off • Your settings stay saved • Streaks and minutes statistics • Quick settings tile to start a session in one tap • 2 custom patterns with 3 or 4 phases • Breath hold test to see where you stand HOW IT WORKS 1.
