In short
Breath has no accounts and no servers that store what you do. Your practice diary, your own breathings and your preferences stay on your device. Nobody else can read them, not even us.
What is kept and where
- Your practice diary (for each session: the date and time, which breathing you did, how long it lasted, the cycles, how you felt before and after on a 1 to 5 scale, and a note if you choose to write one): in your browser (IndexedDB), on this device only. You can delete it whenever you like.
- Your own breathings: the patterns you build in the editor, also in your browser.
- Your preferences: light or dark theme, and the sounds, voice, visual and pace you like, in the browser's local storage.
- The copies you export (
.breathfiles): you keep them wherever you like. With a password they are encrypted, and without it nobody can open them, not even us.
Sound, voice and your device
Breath doesn't use your microphone, camera, motion sensors or location. Here is what it does use:
- Sound: your browser generates it on the spot, on your device. Nothing is downloaded or sent.
- Voice, if you turn it on: spoken cues use the voices installed in your browser or on your device. In some browsers a voice may be produced by the browser maker's online service; in that case the text of the cue (for example, "inhale") passes through that service. You can turn the voice off and use sounds only.
- Keeping the screen on: during a session we ask your device not to dim or lock the screen. When the session ends, it goes back to normal.
- A short vibration: on phones that support it, to mark each change of phase.
Offline
Once you've opened the breathing page, the site works without an internet connection: your browser keeps the pages on your device (using a service worker). That sends no data anywhere.
Sharing a breathing
When you share one of your breathings by link or QR code, its data travels inside the link itself (in the part after #, which browsers never send to a server). Only the people you send it to can see it. Your diary is never shared this way.
What we don't do
- We use no cookies.
- We use no analytics tools.
- We don't sell or share data, because we never receive any.
Advertising
The site shows no ads today. If we add them in the future, we'll update this page first and ask for any consent required.
Who is responsible, and your rights
This site is run by María Patricia, in Colombia, under Colombia's data protection law (Ley 1581 de 2012, habeas data). Since your data never leaves your device, in practice we process none of it; even so, you have the right to know, update, correct and delete any personal data you send us (for example, if you email us), and to file a complaint with Colombia's data protection authority (Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio, SIC).
