Why I built it
In 2024 I was going through a rough patch with anxiety. Breathing exercises helped more than I expected, so I made Bretho for myself: something plain and useful, nothing fluffy. It started as a personal tool and grew from there. I still work on it when I find things that actually help.
What was hard
Timers in Swift are fiddlier than they look. Getting precise timing, pause, resume, and live updates right took real care. I also spent time learning which breathing techniques are actually backed by research, not just vibes.
