Do I need any equipment to use Breathstate?

No. Just your phone and somewhere reasonably quiet. Sessions work with or without headphones. The guided audio is designed to be usable anywhere — at a desk, in a car, in a corridor.

Can I build my own breathwork sessions?

Yes. Breathstate includes a session builder where you can set your own ratios — inhale, hold, exhale, hold — and choose your duration. Start with the guided library until you know what works for you, then customise.

How quickly will I notice a difference?

Most people feel a shift within the first session. Your heart rate drops. Your shoulders settle. The noise quietens. The cumulative effect — better baseline, more consistent focus, faster recovery from stress — builds over two to four weeks of regular practice.

Your individual mood data is private to you. It is never shared with your employer, visible to administrators, or used to identify you. If your organisation uses Breathstate, what they see is anonymous and aggregated — the collective pattern, never the individual. De-identified by architecture, not just policy.

Your breath is the fastest tool your body has.

Every session is grounded in peer-reviewed physiology. One to ten minutes. No equipment. No room. Just your breath doing exactly what it was built to do.

Nasal breathing

The nose is a breathing instrument, not just a filter. Air is warmed, humidified, and slowed before it reaches the lungs. Mouth breathing skips all of this. The body is built to breathe through the nose.

Nitric oxide

Your nasal passages release nitric oxide into every breath you draw through them. It enters the bloodstream, dilates blood vessels, and improves circulation. Better blood flow, with every nasal breath.

Vagal stimulation

A longer exhale activates the vagus nerve — the direct line between your breath and your nervous system. Heart rate drops. The stress response slows into rest and digest. You feel the shift in seconds.

CO₂ tolerance

Oxygen only releases from the blood with the help of CO₂ — the Bohr effect. Controlled breathing trains your tolerance to carbon dioxide, which improves oxygen delivery to the brain and muscles. Clearer thinking under pressure.

Check in

Before you start, take five seconds to note how you feel. One tap. Eight states. That's your baseline.

Breathe

Choose your duration — one to ten minutes. Guided audio walks you through every breath. Just follow.

Check out

One tap again. See exactly what shifted between start and finish.

Sleep app screen with week overview and four categories: Sleep, Focus, Stress, and Anxiety.

See exactly what changed

After every session, Breathstate shows you what moved. Your mood before. Your mood after. The gap between them. Over time that becomes your pattern — when pressure builds, when you recover fastest, and how your baseline shifts with consistent practice.

Mood check-in

Most people know when they're under pressure. Few can prove it's shifting.

Breathstate's mood check-in tracks eight states — before and after every session — mapped against a scientifically grounded valence-arousal model.

The most common transition is Stressed → Calm. 71% of sessions show improvement. That's not anecdote. That's a pattern you can see.

FOR ORGANISATIONS

The ability to regulate under load isn't a soft skill — it's a performance and safety outcome. Breathstate supports both sides of that equation: the daily practice that builds baseline resilience, and the immediate tool available after the incident, the shift, the conversation that doesn't leave easily.

What your people feel stays with them. What you see is the pattern, never the person.
