Breathe.
That's the whole app.
Breeze is a focused breathing app — 15 science-backed techniques including 4-7-8, box breathing, and the physiological sigh. Open it, breathe, close it. No streaks-as-pressure, no infinite feed.
Web app is free and works in any modern browser. Pro adds binaural beats & session history.
I built Breeze because every breathing app I tried wanted me to log in, set up a profile, accept notifications, and pick a wellness goal before I could take a single breath. Breeze opens directly into a breathing exercise. After 5,200+ user sessions on the web, the data made the design choice obvious: techniques people actually finish are the ones with the lowest setup cost. The Android version launching this week keeps that constraint — same minimal flow, same 15 techniques, same no-account default. If you only want one breath, that's a successful session.
What's in Breeze
Built around the techniques that have the strongest evidence base — and the ones our users actually return to.
15 evidence-based patterns
Box, 4-7-8, physiological sigh, coherent (5 BPM), breath counting, nasal-only, alternate nostril, anxiety relief — each with a visual pacer and a one-line note on when to use it.
Visual breath guide
An expanding circle that paces inhale, hold, and exhale to the second. No counting in your head, no eyes-closed timing guesswork.
Binaural beats (Pro)
Optional binaural overlay tuned to alpha and theta frequencies for deeper sessions. Off by default — Breeze should never sound like a meditation product if you don't want it to.
Streaks that don't shame you
Optional streak tracking with a one-day grace per week — because the research on consistency is clear: forgiving streaks beat strict streaks for long-term retention.
No account needed
Use Breeze without ever signing in. Optional account only if you want streak history across devices. Nothing sold, nothing tracked beyond basic anonymous session counts.
Free is genuinely useful
All 15 techniques are free. Pro unlocks binaural beats, full session history, and advanced patterns. Pro is optional — most users never need it.

Common questions
Is Breeze free?
Yes. All 15 breathing techniques are free on the web. Pro is an optional upgrade for binaural beats, session history, and advanced techniques.
Is Breeze available on Android?
The Android version is launching imminently. Until then the full web app at breeze.oddthree.com works on any modern phone browser — same features, no install required.
Do I need an account?
No. The core experience works without any sign-in. Optional account only if you want streak history synced across devices.
Which breathing technique should I start with?
For sleep: 4-7-8. For acute stress: the physiological sigh. For everyday calm: box breathing. Each has a "best time to use" note in-app.
Who built Breeze?
NR — statistician and indie developer. Part of the oddthree family alongside TaskXP, Floravia, Typefast, and PomodoroXP.
Try a single breath.
Open the web app and run one cycle of box breathing. If it doesn't help, close the tab and forget I exist. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.
