About 478 Breathe

478 Breathe was created to make a simple, proven breathing exercise accessible to anyone, anytime. The app is based on the 4-7-8 breathing technique, a method popularized by Dr. Andrew Weil that combines focused breathing with mindful rhythm to calm the body and mind.

The practice is simple:

• Inhale gently through your nose for 4 seconds
• Hold your breath for 7 seconds

Exhale slowly through your mouth for 8 seconds

• This cycle helps to:
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Slow down racing thoughts
• Improve focus and clarity
• Support better sleep

Our goal is to give you a quiet space to breathe — whether you need a quick break in your day, a reset before an important meeting, or a nightly wind-down ritual.

With minimal distractions, calming visuals, and a guided rhythm, 478 Breathe is your pocket-sized companion for relaxation and mindfulness.
