Free · two traditions · eight sessions · no account needed

Reed is a breathwork and pranayama app for iPhone. Eight guided breathing exercises, from box breathing and 4-7-8 to Nadi Shodhana, measure how you feel before and after, so a nervous system reset is something you can see, not just hope for.

No. 01. The premise

Most apps ask you to trust the feeling. Reed shows you the shift.

Name where you are.

Before you begin, mark how you feel on a quiet five-point scale. No streaks, no judgement.

Breathe the pattern.

A single orb expands and settles with the count. Follow it. Nothing else moves.

Meet the shift.

Mark how you feel now. Reed counts up from before to after, and honours a shift of nothing, too.

Steadier than you started.

No. 02. The library

Two traditions. Eight sessions. Everything you need.

No endless catalogue to wade through. A short, deliberate set of guided breathing exercises: modern breathwork on one side, classical pranayama on the other.

No. 03. For the moment you're in

A breath for sleep, for anxiety, for focus, for energy.

To sleep

breathing for sleep

4-7-8 Calm draws the exhale out long and slow, the pattern most people reach for to wind down at night.

To settle

breathing for anxiety

Box Breathing and Coherence steady a racing mind with an even, measured count you can feel land.

To focus

mindful breathing

Nadi Shodhana, the classical alternate-nostril practice, balances the breath before deep work.

To wake

energizing breathwork

Kapalabhati and Bhastrika lift energy quickly, a clean alternative to the afternoon coffee.

Before you begin.

What is Reed?

Reed is a breathing app for iPhone that combines modern breathwork and classical pranayama. It measures how you feel before and after each session and shows you the shift in your own breath.

Is Reed free?

Yes. Every breathing session is free and unlimited, with no account required. An optional Reed Pro upgrade adds personal insights, the full wellbeing trend and custom patterns.

Which breathing techniques does Reed include?

Eight sessions across two traditions. Breathwork: Box Breathing, 4-7-8 Calm, Coherence and Energize. Pranayama: Nadi Shodhana, Kapalabhati, Bhramari and Bhastrika.

What makes Reed different?

Instead of asking you to trust a feeling, Reed measures your state before and after and shows the change. A single orb guides the count, and it treats a shift of zero as an honest outcome. No wearable is required.

Is 4-7-8 breathing good for sleep?

Reed's 4-7-8 Calm session uses a long, slow exhale to activate rest and help prepare the body for sleep.

What is Nadi Shodhana?

Nadi Shodhana, or Alternate Nostril breathing, is a classical pranayama technique that alternates the breath to balance and steady the mind. It is one of Reed's eight sessions.

Does Reed require an account?

No. Reed works without an account or sign-up, and your sessions stay on your device.
