When to open Hale

A few honest moments when 60 seconds of guided breathing actually helps.

Before a stressful meeting, flight, or call.

When anxiety spikes and you can't step away.

At night, when sleep won't come.

Right after a hard conversation.

In the morning, to wake up without coffee.

Anytime you need a quiet minute for yourself.

Three steps. Sixty seconds.

No setup, no learning curve. Open the app and you're already halfway there.

  1. 1

    Choose a session

    Pick Box, 4-7-8, Resonant, or Energizing — or build your own rhythm.

  2. 2

    Follow the rhythm

    A calm voice and gentle haptics guide every inhale, hold, and exhale.

  3. 3

    Feel the shift

    Heart rate slows, thoughts settle. The session saves automatically to Apple Health.

A Quiet Tool for Loud Moments

Four proven breathing techniques and just enough features to make each one effortless. No fluff, no spiritual lectures.

Four guided techniques

Box Breathing for focus, Energizing Breath for a wake-up, 4-7-8 (Dr. Andrew Weil's technique) for sleep, and Resonant Breathing for steady, balanced calm.

Calm voice & gentle haptics

A pre-recorded voice cues every breath, paired with soft haptics — so you can close your eyes and just follow along, no glances at the screen.

Works with the screen locked

Start a session, slip your phone into your pocket, and let Hale guide you. Voice and haptics keep going in the background — perfect for a walk or before bed.

Apple Health sync

Every completed session is saved as a Mindful Minute in Apple Health — no extra tap, no extra account.

History & streaks

See your sessions at a glance and build a quiet streak. Optional daily reminders keep the habit gentle, never naggy.

Private by design

Sessions sync via your personal iCloud — never our servers. No accounts, no email, no third-party trackers. Just you and your breath.

Designed to Disappear

A sleek interface built so you don't have to think about it — just open Hale, pick a technique, and breathe.
