How does it work?
When using your mobile camera, Breathmix monitors your pulse through your finger. It adjusts your breathing to match the rhythm of your heart. This method of paced breathing is called Resonance Breathing or Coherence Breathing.

When the camera is not available, you can choose a comfortable breathing pattern and tempo instead. If you previously used biofeedback mode and calculated your resonance (your body's optimal number of breaths per minute) - Breathmix will help you set it as your breathing tempo.
We hope you will find this app useful.
Stay relaxed,
The Breathmix team :)
