Questions

Common questions

What is the fastest breathing exercise to calm down?

A long, slow exhale is the quickest way to calm your body. Breathe in for about two counts and out for six. Exhale+Unwind's Tactical Exhale guides exactly this rhythm.

How long should a breathing exercise take?

One to five minutes is enough for most people to feel calmer. All Exhale+Unwind sessions fit in that window.

Is Exhale+Unwind free?

It's free to download, and 8 exercises (Calming Down and Clear Thinking) are free with no time limit. Premium unlocks all 32 exercises plus progress insights and badges, with a free 3-day trial.

Does it help with panic attacks?

Choose how you feel and the app suggests exercises from its Panic Attack category, such as Tactical Exhale and Extended Exhale, which use long, slow exhales. It's a calming tool, not a medical treatment.

Do I need to create an account?

No. There is no sign-up and no email. Open the app and breathe.

How is this different from Calm or Headspace?

Calm and Headspace are big meditation platforms. Exhale+Unwind does one thing: it matches a short guided breathing exercise to how you feel right now, in one or two taps.

Which devices does it run on?

iPhone, iPad, Mac with Apple silicon and Apple Vision Pro (iOS 17.6 or later).
