BreathCube
Structure. Rhythm. Breath.
One cube. One breath. Zero distractions.
The world's simplest breathing timer
Meditation apps are bloated. They sell crystals and leaderboards when all you wanted was structure, rhythm, breath.
BreathCube strips breathing practice to its geometric essence. A cube rotates through your cycle... inhale, hold, exhale, hold... and gets out of your way. The visual cue sits in peripheral vision while you breathe. That's it. That's the app.
What's inside
Box, 4-7-8, original
Three breath patterns. Pick one and follow the cube.
Prime-number interventions
Every 7th exhale becomes explosive. Every 17th hold extends. Habituation broken.
Voice cues, optional
Soft spoken prompts at each phase. Or silence. Your call.
Session timers
30 seconds to 10 minutes. Or continuous. Ends with grace.
The philosophy
BreathCube follows MVD... Minimal Viable Design. No gamification. No streaks. No social. No upsells. No tracking. No account. No ads. The app exists, you use it, that's the whole transaction.
It's free because attention shouldn't have a paywall, and your breath isn't a subscription.
