My name is Mihai, an engineer born in Romania and raised in Michigan. My ideal day is working on apps, like Paced Breathing, that help others. I’m hopeful someday soon I can work on apps like these full time! Hearing from users always makes my day, shoot me an email with requests, bugs, things you like, or just your story! mihai@pacedbreathing.app USER FEEDBACK * "The best breathing app out there (I've tried 12 apps, this is the only one that works for me). I have recommended it to over 100 people over the 7 years I've been using it. I use it at least 5 x a week. Gives me instant calm" * "I've been using this app for years, and should have given it 5 stars a long time ago! It has a simple clean interface. No bells and whistles, just a flexible breathing timer. Great app!" * "LOVE this app. Very simple and easy to use. You can set time for inhale, exhale, and pause after each if you wish. You can watch it or listen…Thank you! Ads Not intrusive. Ads turn off when the app is active” * "A very convenient application for breathing training! Compared to others…Very simple controls. I purchased an upgrade to store different profiles (warm-up, workout)" * "This is a wonderfully simple app. The default sound tone is just right for me and I like that I get to set the volume and it stays there whether or not the volume of the phone ring or other apps are different" * "It's great that you can see the basic operations and settings at a glance. Also, line graphs are easy to visualize and are kind of cool. Best of all, the sound is very good" CITATIONS * [1] A study published in Front Public Health (2017) shows slow rhythmic breathing decreased blood pressure response to stress and improved moodL: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5575449 * [2] Study in PLOS ONE (2019) shows slow paced breathing can improve relaxation and cardiovascular function: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0218550 * [3] Study in American Journal of Cardiology (2002) shows slow, paced breathing can significantly reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16129818/ * [4] Study in Frontiers in Psychology (2017) shows diaphragmatic breathing improves attention, reduces negative affect, and lowers stress in healthy adults: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2017.00874/full * [5] Study in Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (2005) shows benefits of Sudarshan Kriya, a specific yogic breathing practice, in treating stress, anxiety, and depression: https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/acm.2005.11.189 * [6] Study in Nature Scientific Reports (2023) shows slow paced breathing counters pathways that lead to Alzheimer’s disease: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-30167-0 DISCLAIMER PB is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical conditions.
