Pro-only: Cyclic Breath & Retention

Cyclic Breath & Retention

A round starts with full, rhythmic breaths that the Pacer counts for you. After the last breath out you simply stop and rest: a calm stopwatch runs while you hold, and you tap when you need to breathe. A deep recovery breath with a 15-second gentle hold closes the round.

The next round never starts by itself. You decide when you are ready. Your history is saved only on your device, so you can watch your holds develop over the weeks without sending any health data anywhere.

Free:
round 1 with an example stats box.
With Pro:
up to 5 rounds, 10–30 breaths per round, every hold time saved with your best, average, trend and practice streak.

Advanced Protocols

Three structured practices in one Pacer tab. They train different things: calm under rising CO₂, a slow and balanced rhythm, and short bursts of energising breath. Each one starts with a free first round.

Apnea Tables (CO₂ & O₂)

Apnea tables come from free-diving training, here used strictly on dry land. You enter your longest comfortable breath hold and the Pacer builds a table from it. No hold ever goes above 80 % of that value.

  • CO₂ table: the hold stays the same (half your longest hold) while the rest between holds gets shorter, from 2:00 down to 0:15. It trains staying calm as the urge to breathe grows.
  • O₂ table: the rest stays at 2:00 while the hold grows from 40 % to 80 % of your longest hold. It trains longer, relaxed holds.
  • A cue sounds 10 seconds before each hold, the full table is shown with the current round highlighted, and a large Breathe now button ends any hold at once.
Free:
round 1 of each table.
With Pro:
all 8 rounds of both tables.

Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing)

A classical, gentle Pranayama: you breathe in through one nostril and out through the other, closing the opposite side with your thumb or ring finger. It is calm and steady, so it starts without the safety check.

  • Choose a ratio: 1:1 (even in and out), 1:2 (longer exhale) or 1:1:2 (in, gentle hold, long out).
  • Set a count of 3 to 6 seconds per unit.
  • A Left/Right marker and a finger hint show which nostril to use. With headphones, the tone also plays on the matching side, so you can follow with your eyes closed.
Free:
1 minute.
With Pro:
3, 5 or 10 minutes.

Turbo Sets (Kapalabhati & Bhastrika)

Short sets of fast yogic breathing. Kapalabhati uses strong, short exhales with a passive inhale; Bhastrika makes both the in-breath and the out-breath strong.

  • Choose the technique and 20 to 60 pumps per set; a counter and a tone on every pump keep the rhythm.
  • Each set ends with a deep breath, an optional gentle hold of 15 to 45 seconds and 30 seconds of recovery.
  • Build up slowly: one set at a calm pace is a good start.
Free:
set 1.
With Pro:
up to 5 sets.
