Questions
Do I need an account?
No. Everything works without one, offline, and your practice stays on your device. An account only syncs your history between your devices: Settings › Account and sync.
How does my tree grow?
Every day you practice, even for a few minutes, is a mindful day and your tree grows a little. Miss a few days and it wilts, but it never loses what it has grown. A day ends at 3 a.m., so a late-night session still counts for that day. Plant a new seed whenever you like: your old trees stay around it as a forest.
Does practice outside the app count?
Yes. Add yoga, a silent walk or a class in your Profile with “I practiced outside the app”: at least 5 minutes, with a short note about it.
Is Breathwood really free?
Yes: no ads and no paywall. If you'd like to help, Settings › Support Breathwood offers a monthly supporter subscription and one-time tips. Supporters get a thank-you sign by their tree.
How do I cancel the supporter subscription?
On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings › your name › Subscriptions › Breathwood (Apple's guide). To bring a subscription or tip to a new device, tap Restore Purchases on the Support Breathwood screen.
How do I add a widget?
Touch and hold an empty spot on your Home Screen, add a widget and search for Breathwood. There are two sizes for the Home Screen and one for the Lock Screen.
Can Breathwood save to Apple Health?
Yes: turn on Settings › Save to Health and finished sessions are saved as mindful minutes. Breathwood never reads your Health data.
How do I free up space?
Settings › Downloads lists the meditations and sounds you've downloaded; remove the ones you don't need. They download again when you play them.
Are the voices real people?
No. The voices guiding meditations and breathing exercises are generated by artificial intelligence.
How do I delete my data?
Settings › Reset all progress deletes your history, tree, streaks and grove on this device, and from your account too if you're signed in. Settings › Account and sync › Delete account deletes your account and everything synced with it. Deleting the app removes everything stored on the device. See the privacy policy.
Is breathing practice safe?
Breathwood supports relaxation and mindfulness; it is not a medical device. Power breathing can make you dizzy and may cause you to faint: never practice it in or near water, while driving or standing. If you have health concerns, talk to a doctor.
