About this app

Breath Coach is a coaching and tracking tool for breath training — built by a runner to test one question honestly: can training the breath make running at your existing fitness feel easier?

Guided sessions. Pick a goal and follow the bubble, the spoken cues, or the taps on your wrist — eyes closed if you like.

Energize — fast breaths, then breath holds, three rounds. Alert and buzzing. Slow, regular or fast pace.

CO₂ Tolerance — breathe a little less than you want to. The practice that raises your BOLT score.

Calm, Focus, Meditate, Sleep — breath-only, no holds, from three to eight minutes.

Custom — your own timings.

BOLT test. A comfortable breath hold after a normal exhale, timed for you, with clear instructions so you take it the same way every morning. The score tracks how tolerant you are of carbon dioxide — the thing that actually makes you feel out of breath.…

Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.

Store update history

App Store

Version 3.3 · 2026-09-12
Progress. A new screen for the question the app exists to answer: is breathing at your existing fitness getting easier? Your waking BOLT trend, beats-per-km and cardiac drift from your easy runs (read from Health), and a one-tap breathing-effort rating for each run — over a 12-week block with baseline and checkpoints. Heart rate on the watch. Live heart rate during sessions, and the rate at the end of every breath hold saved with the session. Watch always-on. Drop your wrist mid-hold and you get one big, readable number instead of a dimmed screen. Siri and Shortcuts. "Start a breathing session in Breath Coach", "Take a BOLT test in Breath Coach". Works with the Action button too.…

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
