4 Minutes Breathing

4 Minutes Breathing is a calm, distraction-free breathing app. Pick a shape, tap the button, and follow the dot round it for four minutes. Each shape is drawn to its technique: its edges are as long as the breaths they stand for, so the dot moves at one steady pace and the distance left to go shows the time left to breathe. - Square: box breathing 4-4-4-4, opening at 3 seconds and slowing to 4 halfway - Triangle: 4-4-4, breathe in, hold, breathe out - Long triangle: Dr Weil's 4-7-8 relaxing breath - Petal: 3-3-6, an exhale twice as long as the inhale - Circle: coherent breathing, 5-5, six breaths a minute Every session lasts four minutes and ends on a complete breath. An option, off unless ticked, marks each change of phase with a soft kalimba note (higher to breathe in, lower to breathe out) and the start and the end with a crystal bell, for breathing in the dark. Bilingual prompts (English / French), the screen stays awake, no account, no ads, no tracking, no internet required. Pierre Gallaz · developed with Claude Code

Ready for Android 16: the app no longer asks for permissions it never used (microphone, storage, overlay, vibration). Nothing changes in the exercise.
