Step by step

• Getting the most out of the app

  Two people use the same app and get very different results from it. The ten things that make the difference, and how to do each of them.

• Your first session, start to finish

  Every step from opening the app for the first time to reading your first report. What you are asked, why you are asked it, and what to do where.

• Choosing a technique and a length

  What the marks on the technique list mean, what the lit band on the length slider is for, and the round selector that replaces length in Kapalabhati.

• Reading your session report

  What every line in the report means, and what to do about a measurement that came out low.

• If your breath isn't being heard

  What to try, in order, when you see "No exhale was heard". Distance, the room, the difference between devices, and carrying on without the microphone.

• Unlocking techniques

  What opens the locks, what a locked card tells you, and how to see the shortest way there.

• Setting up a program and keeping it

  How to set up a twenty-eight day program, what happens when you miss a day, what an ended program means, and what you see when it finishes.

• What's on the session screen

  The circle, the phase label, the sound wave, the counter and the pause menu. What everything you see during a session is for.

• Reminders and notifications

  The daily reminder, the streak alert, technique-specific notifications, quiet hours, holiday mode and the daily cap. What each one does and how to set it.

• Streak, milestones and the calendar

  How the streak works, which sessions count, how to set milestones of your own, and how to read the calendar.

• History, summaries and achievements

  Session history, the weekly summary, the personal summary and achievements. What each one shows and when it opens.

• Widgets and Live Activity

  Adding Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, what each size shows, and the counter that appears on the Lock Screen during a session.

• Making the interface simpler or fuller

  Simple, Standard and Advanced. What changes across the three levels, who each one suits, and how to switch.

• Finding your own pace

  The five and a half seconds of Coherent Breathing is an average. You can measure the breathing speed that suits you best and have the app run at it.

• Managing your data

  What is kept where, what syncs between devices, the sharing options, and deleting everything.

• Getting around the app

  Which screen you reach from where. A map of the home screen, Profile, Settings and the Learn section.

• Building the habit: the first thirty days

  Where the difference is made between using the app for a week and keeping it up for thirty days. A plan broken into weeks.

• Which technique, and when

  Before sleep, during a work break, in a moment of anger, before a presentation. Which technique to pick for the situation, and why.
