Built for the Moment Instructions Feel Hard
I'm Lua Dias, a biomedical scientist and developer who has lived with Generalized Anxiety Disorder since I was 17.
I built BreatheIn because a breathing pattern can be difficult to remember when your attention is already overwhelmed. The app removes setup, accounts, and unnecessary choices. You choose a pattern and follow the visual guide.
What the App Is For
BreatheIn offers four guided breathing patterns, an immediate panic-mode shortcut, optional post-session check-ins, and a history stored on your device.
It is a self-management and educational tool. It does not diagnose anxiety, stop panic attacks, or replace therapy, medication, medical assessment, or emergency support.
Evidence Without Hype
Slow and controlled breathing has promising evidence for changes in heart-rate variability and self-reported stress or anxiety. The evidence is not equally strong for every named technique, timing, or outcome.
That distinction matters. BreatheIn describes what each pattern asks you to do and where the research has limits. It does not turn group-level findings into promises about what you will feel.
Start with our evidence review of slow breathing if you want the research and references behind those choices.
Product Principles
- No login before value. The free exercises work anonymously.
- Panic mode stays free. It will not be placed behind a paywall.
- Your local history stays local. Ratings and notes remain in your browser.
- No clinical promises. Personal patterns are not proof of treatment.
- Comfort comes first. Breath holds are optional, and every exercise should be stopped if it feels uncomfortable.
About Me
My biomedical background helps me read physiology and mental health research critically. My development work lets me turn that reading into an accessible product. Neither makes me a physician, psychologist, psychiatrist, or therapist.
