The problem

Powerful, but what if you need to calm down right now?

Too many techniques, no guidance

When you're in distress, the last thing you want is a menu of 31 options and no idea which one fits.

Most apps give one generic pattern

One-size-fits-all breathing ignores whether you're panicking, wired, or wide awake at 3am.

You need it to work in minutes

Not after a long intro, a sign-up, or a subscription wall. Now.

How it works

Three steps to the right technique

01

Tell the app how you feel

Pick your current state and the state you want — about five seconds.

02

Get your match

The app selects from 31 techniques based on what you chose.

03

Follow the visualizer

An animated guide with audio and haptics. No counting, no guessing.

The technique

A technique for every state

Different moments need different tools. exhale+unwind covers the full range:

  1. Panic → physiological sigh, the fastest reset known to science.
  2. Anxiety → coherent breathing, five seconds in and out.
  3. Sleep → 4-7-8, to slow a racing mind.
  4. Focus → cyclic breathing, to sharpen up before deep work.
31 techniques

One for every feeling

Not a generic breathing app. Each technique is matched to a specific need.

Panic attack

Physiological sigh

Double inhale, long exhale. The fastest reset known to science.

Sleep

4-7-8 breathing

Slows heart rate and quiets racing thoughts before bed.

Stress

Box breathing

Equal counts in, hold, out, hold. Used by Navy SEALs.

Focus

Cyclic breathing

Controlled activation before deep work or a presentation.

Energy

Bellows breath

A natural stimulant — replaces the afternoon coffee.

Anxiety

Coherent breathing

Five seconds in, five seconds out. Maximises heart rate variability.
