Questions
Before you download.
How much does Breathe Well cost?
Breathe Well Premium is $1.99 a month, $9.99 a year, or $19.99 once for lifetime access. These are US prices; the App Store always shows the price for your country before you confirm.
The monthly and yearly plans include a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. Lifetime is a one-time purchase with no trial and no renewal.
Which plan should I choose?
Yearly costs the least per month if you plan to breathe regularly: $9.99 a year works out to about $0.83 a month, which is 58% less than paying monthly for 12 months ($23.88). Monthly is the most flexible. Lifetime is a single $19.99 payment if you’d rather not subscribe at all.
All three unlock exactly the same features.
How does the 7-day free trial work?
Choose the monthly or yearly plan in the app. If your Apple Account is eligible for the introductory offer, the first 7 days are free and you get the full app.
You will not be charged if you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Cancel any time in iPhone Settings, then your name, then Subscriptions.
Is there a free version?
No. Breathe Well is a premium app: after a quick personal setup and a 30-second guided breath, you pick a plan or restore an earlier purchase. The free trial lets you try everything before you pay.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no email. Purchases are tied to your Apple Account by the App Store, so Restore Purchases works on any of your devices.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Breathing sessions, voice guidance, ambient sounds, and your history all work without an internet connection.
Does Breathe Well work on Apple Watch?
Yes. The companion Watch app guides each breath with taps on your wrist, runs sessions on its own, and sends finished sessions back to your iPhone when it is nearby. It needs watchOS 10 or later.
What happens to my data?
It stays with you. Session history and settings are stored on your device. If iCloud is on, your session history and custom techniques sync through your private iCloud account. Apple Health access is optional and limited to Mindful Minutes. There are no ads, no analytics SDKs, and no servers of ours involved.
What do I need to run it?
An iPhone or iPad running iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. Apple Watch is optional.
Is Breathe Well medical advice?
No. Breathe Well is general wellness software for relaxation and focus. It is not a medical device. If you have a health condition, talk to your doctor before starting a new breathing practice.
