Unlock your wellbeing through the power of breath
SomaFlow is a guided-breathing app for a calmer nervous system. Free, no ads, and everything stays on your device.
What’s inside
Guided sessions
A calming visualization expands and contracts with your breath. Choose the one that feels right — then follow it.
Proven techniques
Resonant breathing, 4-7-8, and Box Breathing come built in, each with a plain-language note on what it’s for.
Make it yours
Create and save your own inhale / hold / exhale / hold patterns, at whatever session length suits you.
Eyes closed? No problem.
Breath-synced sound swells, optional voice guidance, and vibration cues — each one toggleable, so the app works in silence, in darkness, or both.
Gentle progress
Session history and weekly stats, stored only on your device. No streaks, no pressure, just a gentle nudge to keep going.
Made for everyone
Screen-reader friendly, font scaling, contrast-checked colors, light or dark themes that follow your system, and haptics for those who need them.
Why breathwork?
Slow, paced breathing is one of the most studied ways to settle the nervous system — researchers have linked it to heart-rate variability, vagal tone, and lower reported stress and anxiety. We keep a plain-English reading list of the evidence, including research on long COVID, ME/CFS, and POTS.
Read the researchPrivate by design
No account. No tracking. No analytics. Your settings and session history live on your device and nowhere else — delete the app and they’re gone.
About
SomaFlow is made by AK, a designer-developer, as a personal project born from her own interest in nervous-system regulation. It will stay free.
