What it is
BreathTide (the app is also known by its earlier name BreathPace) is an iPhone and iPad breathing coach by Rivership, an indie studio in Tokyo. It is for people who want a short, guided breathing session to wind down, sleep or reset during the day.
Choose a pattern and follow the animation. Haptic feedback marks the breathing phases, so you can close your eyes. After each session, the duration and pattern are saved to your history on the device.
