How to begin
Use the breathing timer in three simple steps.
- Choose a pattern. Start with Coherent 5-5 when you prefer an even rhythm without a hold.
- Choose a duration. One minute is enough to learn the pace; longer sessions are optional.
- Follow the curve. Let the line move beneath the steady marker and keep every breath comfortable.
The voice guidance can be turned off at any time. No breathing-session data is sent to an account, and the exercise can be stopped immediately.

Three guided breathing exercises
Practice gently
The timer follows you, not the other way around.
The counts are guides rather than goals. Use a normal-sized breath, keep your shoulders relaxed, and stop a hold early when needed. Return to your usual breathing if the rhythm feels demanding.
These exercises support general wellbeing and are not medical treatment. Stop if you feel dizzy, short of breath, or uncomfortable.
Common questions
Online breathing timer FAQ
Is the online breathing timer free?
Yes. The browser breathing timer is free to use and does not require an account. Choose a pattern and session duration, then begin when you are ready.
Which breathing exercise should I choose?
Coherent 5-5 is the simplest option because it has no breath hold. 4-7-8 uses a longer hold and exhale, while Box breathing uses four equal phases. Choose the pattern that feels easiest to follow.
What should I do if a breathing pattern feels uncomfortable?
Stop the timer and return to normal breathing. Do not force a breath hold or continue through dizziness, shortness of breath, or discomfort.
