neur0tideComing next · Guided breathing + sound
Short guided breathing rituals.
Accompanied by gentle binaural audio.
Guided breathing is coming in the next release.
The current App Store app is audio-only.
Four seconds in. Four seconds out. Follow an even visual rhythm for two minutes, with Focus audio alongside. No breath holds.
Breathing first. Sound alongside.
The upcoming guide pairs an even Focus rhythm or a longer-exhale Unwind rhythm with the app’s existing binaural audio. Breathe gently, follow the visual cues, and return to sound whenever you like. No holds. No need to force a deeper breath.
Behind the ritual
Some breathing practices show promise for mood and stress. The details—and the limits—matter.
In a four-week randomized study co-authored by Andrew Huberman and David Spiegel, five minutes of daily cyclic sighing improved positive mood more than mindfulness meditation. Our short guides use different breathing patterns.
Read the study Balban et al., 2023 ↗neur0tide generates binaural audio for headphones. Research on brainwave entrainment is mixed; an extra benefit from combining it with our breathing guide has not been established.
Read the review Ingendoh et al., 2023 ↗Breathing evidence is not one-size-fits-all. A 400-person trial found no extra stress benefit from slow coherent breathing over another guided breathing rhythm. These studies did not test neur0tide, its two- and three-minute presets, or its breathing–audio combination.
Planned for the next release
Two guided breathing rhythms alongside Focus and Unwind audio. Basic listening stays free, with no ads or accounts.
Structured work/break sessions. Try Pro free for seven days, then unlock it with one permanent purchase.
No subscription. No automatic trial-end charge. Current local price shown in the app.
Field notes
Why breathing leads, why sound stays alongside, and where the science still has questions. A useful ritual doesn’t need an exaggerated promise.
Read the binaural-audio evidence ↗One task. One listening session. A break away from the screen.
A little room to breathe
Audio available for iPhone. Guided breathing is coming next.
Breathe gently and stop if you feel dizzy or uncomfortable. Listen at a comfortable volume. General wellness, not a medical device. Never use while driving or operating machinery.
