Make time for mindful breathing.
Follow your breathing for a few quiet minutes. BreathFriend offers visual, voice and haptic cues, with adjustable timing on Android and Wear OS.
For Android phones and compatible Wear OS watches.
- Sit comfortably and notice your usual breathing before choosing a pattern.
- Pick a gentle rhythm and one guidance cue: visual, voice, sound or haptics.
- When your attention wanders, return to the next cue. End the session whenever you need to.
Follow the next phase
You do not need to keep a perfect count. The app marks the breathing phases, giving you a clear point to return to. You can look at the visual guide or use a cue you hear or feel, depending on the kind of session you want.
Keep the session as simple as you like
Nature backgrounds and ambient sounds are optional. For a quieter setup, use a plain visual guide or compatible watch haptics. Try different cues when you have time, then keep the setup that feels easiest to follow.
Build around a familiar moment
A short session after work or before a quiet activity can be enough to begin a routine. Session history lets you revisit your practice. There is no need to lengthen a session to make it count, and no guaranteed mental-health outcome.
Before you start
Is this a meditation course?
BreathFriend is centred on guided breathing patterns and sessions. It does not replace a full meditation course or clinical care.
Can I close my eyes?
Audio or compatible watch haptics can guide phase changes without looking at the display. Practise in a safe, stationary setting.
Can I turn off music?
Yes. Background sounds are optional, so you can choose only the guidance cues you want.
