Respiro information
What is Respiro?
Respiro is a stress management app with 26 science-backed breathing, body, and mind techniques ranging from 10 seconds to 20 minutes. It detects stress from 7 behavioral signals and proactively suggests the right technique at the right moment -- without requiring a smartwatch or any wearable device.
Unlike meditation apps that require 15-30 minute sessions, Respiro focuses on quick, effective interventions. The shortest technique -- Physiological Sigh, based on Stanford Medicine research (2023) -- takes just 10 seconds. Box Breathing, used by US Navy SEALs, takes 60 seconds. Most techniques in Respiro take under 2 minutes.
Key features:
- Smart Stress Detection: monitors 7 behavioral signals and sends a supportive push notification when stress is rising. All computation happens on-device. No data leaves your phone.
- 4-Stage Personalization Engine: starts learning which techniques work best for you from session 1. Fully calibrated by session 15. Shows exactly why each practice is recommended.
- LotusBloom Breathing Animation: a 120fps Metal GPU-rendered lotus flower that guides your breathing rhythm without words.
- No streaks, no guilt mechanics: missed a day? Nothing happens. No counters reset. No shame notifications.
- Privacy-first: everything is computed on-device. No cloud processing. No account required to start.
