TheHold-Breathwork

TheHold is your companion for conscious breathing – from energizing Power Breathing to calm, guided techniques for focus, relaxation and better sleep. Clean, ad-free, and with analytics that really make your progress visible.

GUIDED BREATHING TECHNIQUES
• Power Breathing – powerful breathing followed by a breath hold. Choose 5 to 100 breaths and your pace.
• 4-7-8 – a long exhale to calm you down, ideal before sleep.
• Box Breathing – an even rhythm (4-4-4-4) for focus and steady nerves.
• Coherent Breathing – slow resonance breathing for balance and heart-rate variability. Inhale/exhale up to 15 s, duration 3–20 minutes.
• Extended Exhale – exhale longer than you inhale for deep calm.
• Physiological Sigh – the fastest way to release stress in the moment.

Every technique explains in one sentence what it does – so you always know why you're breathing.

YOUR HEART IN VIEW
• Heart-rate recording during every session with Apple Watch – including the guided techniques.
• A Heart area with your pulse trend over time, heart-rate variability (HRV) from Apple Health, and pulse recovery after breath holds.
• Plain-language explanations for every metric.

SOUNDS YOU'LL ACTUALLY LIKE
Let each phase guide you – with natural sound recordings (English and German) or in System Sound mode using only subtle vibration. Optional background music and gentle haptics. Adjustable per exercise.

PROGRESS THAT MOTIVATES

• Charts for trend, distribution, rounds and time of day over 7 days, 30 days, 90 days or a year.
