Terms of Use
Last updated September 22, 2026.
These terms apply to Breathe for Five. and breatheforfive.com, operated by Timothy Hess. Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (Standard EULA) also applies to the iPhone app; if these terms conflict with it, the Standard EULA controls for the app.
Free features and optional subscription
ALL FEATURES ARE FREE. Use the app without an account. The free version will include only occasional, dismissible ads for other apps by the same developer. An optional subscription removes all ads and automatic signup reminders in all of our apps on your iPhone. No subscription is needed for app functionality. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in your Apple account settings at least 24 hours before renewal. Prices are shown in the App Store before purchase.
Important information
Breathe for Five. offers short guided breathing sessions for relaxation and general wellbeing. It is not medical treatment and is not a substitute for care from a health professional. Breathe comfortably and never force or hold your breath beyond what feels easy. If you feel dizzy, light-headed, tingly, short of breath or uncomfortable, stop and return to normal breathing. Sit or lie somewhere safe, and never use the app while driving, operating machinery, swimming or in the bath. If you are pregnant, or have a heart, lung or blood-pressure condition, asthma, epilepsy, a history of fainting or panic attacks, check with your doctor before trying new breathing exercises. Any heart-rate or calm figures shown are general estimates.
- Breathe gently; never force or hold your breath beyond what feels easy.
- Stop and breathe normally if you feel dizzy, light-headed, tingly, short of breath or unwell.
- Only practise sitting or lying somewhere safe: never while driving, operating machinery, standing at a height, swimming, in the bath or in any water.
- Check with a doctor first if you are pregnant or have heart, lung or blood-pressure conditions, asthma, epilepsy, a history of fainting, or panic attacks.
- Not medical treatment and not a replacement for professional care for anxiety, stress or sleep problems.
- Visual pulses and animations can be reduced in Settings if you are sensitive to motion or light patterns.
Breathe for Five. is for general relaxation and wellbeing. It does not provide medical or psychological advice or treatment.
You use breathing exercises at your own discretion and should stop if you feel unwell. Please follow the safety guidance in the app, including never practising while driving or in water.
Any heart-rate or wellbeing figures are estimates from your device and are for information only.
The app is not for emergencies. If you are in crisis or feel seriously unwell, contact your local emergency number.
The optional ad-free plan renews automatically until you cancel it in your Apple ID settings at least 24 hours before the period ends; deleting the app does not cancel it.
Every feature works without an account or payment. Creating an optional account requires being 18 or older.
Promotions inside the app are only for our own apps and never use your health, photo, screen-time or list data.
Our apps work together
One optional account for all our apps. Our apps (Offline Streak, WatchHRV, RollSorted, FastKept, Breathe for Five., All Set Checklists and Stick to Plan) share one optional account. Signing in with the same email or Apple ID in another of our apps uses the same account, so you won't be asked to confirm your age again. Deleting your account deletes it, and its online backups, in all of our apps. Deleting an account does not cancel an App Store subscription; manage that in your Apple account settings.
Ad-free in every app. An ad-free subscription bought in any one of our apps removes ads in all of our apps installed on the same iPhone. Our other apps learn the subscription's current end date when the app you bought it in is opened. If you don't open that app for a while after a renewal, ads may reappear in our other apps until you open it or tap Restore Purchases there. For the best experience, sign in to your optional account: your ad-free subscription then follows your account to all of our apps and to your other devices.
Six or more of our apps. With six or more of our apps installed on the same iPhone, the in-app promotion for our apps stops appearing. This does not unlock any features, because every feature in all of our apps is already free. We may change this in the future and will update these terms if we do.
Acceptable use
Don't misuse the app, attempt to disrupt it, or use it to break the law.
Not professional advice
Breathe for Five. provides general tools and information only. It is not medical, legal or other professional advice.
Disclaimer and liability
The app is provided "as is" to the extent permitted by law. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages.
Changes
We may update these terms and will post the new version here.
