Breathing exercises · coming soon to iOS, Android, Apple Watch and Wear OS

Breathe, without anyone keeping count.

Eleven breathing techniques that follow your pace. Every session grows a tree. And sometimes someone breathes with you, however far away.

Every tree starts small.

A thin trunk, a few leaves, a first breath.

01 See what changes

Every session becomes a leaf.

No calendar, no checkmarks, no counter nagging you. What you breathe grows. Month by month, branch by branch.

Eleven techniques

Five inks, five meanings.

  • Buteyko · FoundationsClear nose, Light breathing, Small breaths, Control pause

No streak

A day without practice? Nothing wilts here.

There is no streak to break. The trunk just keeps growing, and your next breath gets a new leaf. Only what was there grows.

Blossoms

Sometimes something blossoms.

Blossoms mark the milestones of your year. They come when they come, not because you had to tick something off.

Control pause

Your breath has a number.

Breathe out normally, pinch your nose, stop at the first urge to breathe. The seconds until then show how calmly you breathe. You only see your own history: no norms, no comparisons.

Never in water, while driving, or standing without support.

02 Duet

Breathe together, even from afar.

Two circles

You each start at your own pace.

Aligning

You drift towards each other.

Aligning

Almost the same breath.

Shared rhythm

Now you breathe together.

The distance stays. The breath doesn’t.

One ring

A ring for every month you breathed together.

Afterwards it sits in both trees. In yours and in Mia’s.

That’s how simple Duet is

  • The invitation carries your name. Whoever you invite breathes along for free.
  • No chat, no camera, no microphone. Just a second circle.
  • In the same room or cities apart. The same rhythm at the same time.
  • On your watch, too. The shared breath as a gentle vibration.

03 Night

The 4-7-8 method, in bed.

Four seconds in, hold for seven, eight out. At night nowa turns dark and quiet. Nothing glows brighter than it has to.

Two minutes are often enough.

The next morning there’s a new leaf on the tree. That’s all the reward it takes.

Apple Watch & Wear OS

At your pace. On your wrist, too.

On the watch, the rhythm arrives as a gentle vibration. Close your eyes, the watch breathes with you. Sessions from your wrist grow into the same tree. No second purchase.

What you give, grows.

And what grows begins to glow.

2026 · 284 sessions · 12 blooms · 1 ring

A tree grown from nothing but your breaths.

04 Art print

Your year as an art print.

At the end of the year your tree becomes a sheet of paper: with a month axis, Duet rings, the number of your sessions and a legend of your techniques. Plus a title if you like, and your signature.

Framed, gifted, hung up.

The print file is part of COMPLETE and included in the one-time purchase. No fee per print, no subscription. Just hand it to your print shop.

Three formats

From small to large.

Eleven techniques in five categories. Calm: physiological sigh, short breath, alternate nostril breathing. Sleep: 4-7-8 sleep method, coherent breathing. Focus: box breathing. Depth: vagus nerve reset. Buteyko: clear nose, light breathing, small breaths and the control pause. The physiological sigh, short breath and box breathing are free forever. Before each exercise you can tap four times as you breathe in, and the exercise follows your own breathing pace.

Getting started is free and stays free, no account needed: three techniques, the year tree and the watch app. nowa COMPLETE is €29.99 once, no subscription, and includes everything nowa can do, including the art print file and all future exercises. Duet is a separate subscription at €6.99 per month or €49.99 per year; your first month is included with COMPLETE, and one subscription covers you both. Prices vary by country.

A simple measure of how calmly you breathe. You breathe out normally, pinch your nose and stop at the first urge to breathe. The seconds until then are your control pause. nowa only shows your own history: no norms, no comparison with others.

None that can break. There’s no counter and no reminder telling you off, and a skipped day costs you nothing. Only what was there grows in the tree.

You invite someone by link or code, and the invitation carries your name: “Mia would like to breathe with you.” The person you invite signs in with Apple, Google or email and breathes along for free for as long as you have Duet. Each of you taps in your own breathing pace, you align during the first minute, and after that you breathe the same rhythm. You see the other person’s breath as a second circle, nothing else. No chat, no camera, no microphone.

In the Journey, tap “…” at the top and then “Save as art print file”. The file is part of COMPLETE and included in the one-time purchase: no fee per print, no subscription. You can choose A4, A3 or A2. The sheet shows your tree with a month axis and Duet rings, the year, the number of your sessions and a legend of your techniques, plus a title if you like and your signature. A new tree begins at the turn of the year; the old one stays available.

For Duet, yes: the annual plan includes a free first week if you haven’t had a subscription in nowa before. The monthly plan has no free period. COMPLETE has no fixed trial; sometimes nowa offers a free week of COMPLETE.

Without an account everything stays on your device. With an account, sessions and settings are synced. nowa doesn’t sell data, shows no ads and uses no third-party tracking.

Yes. The watch app is included, no second purchase. Every unlocked technique starts right on your wrist, the rhythm comes as a gentle vibration, and sessions from the watch grow into the same year tree.

Yes. All exercises work without a connection, on your phone and on your watch. Only your account, syncing and Duet need the internet.

Yes. If you set large text on your phone, the whole app grows with it, up to the largest size. Cards stack vertically to make room.

nowa is not a medical device and doesn’t replace treatment. If you have a medical condition or are pregnant, talk to a doctor first. Never do breath-hold exercises in water, while driving or standing without support.
