A small app that doesn't ask much of you.
We made breathe with me to be the opposite of a productivity tool. No streaks. No graphs that judge you. No “optimize your nervous system.” Just a quiet room with the lights dimmed, and someone willing to breathe alongside.
The room is already quiet.
Most meditation apps treat your attention like a metric: streaks, badges, weekly summaries, “you've meditated for 14 days in a row — keep it going.” That framing makes the practice feel like a job. We wanted the opposite: open the app, the room is already quiet, you can stay as long as you like, and nothing in the interface is keeping score.
When you do log a session, it's because you wanted to mark it — not because we're trying to ladder you up a leaderboard.
Breath and mantra.
Two traditions sit side by side. Breathwork — coherent breathing, box breath, alternate nostril, a small set of higher-intensity pranayama techniques with their own safety surfaces. And mantra— the devotional Sikh tradition, drawn from the Adi Granth and taught in lineage from Ryan's teacher, Guru Singh.
Where a claim has peer-reviewed research behind it, we say so. Where a practice is tradition-attested, we say that instead. We don't blur the line.
Two people, mostly.
breathe with me is built by a small team at cab labs. The breath side is shaped by years of personal practice and a handful of teachers we'd happily name on request. The mantras are inspired by Guru Singh.
We're a long way from finished, and we plan to keep it small.
Say hello.
Press, feedback, a teacher you think we should talk to — hello@breathewith.me. We read every note. We're slow to reply, on purpose.
