Dry-land breath training built by divers, for divers, whether you freedive on a single breath or run a tank on scuba.
Certifications teach you to dive. They assume you can manage your breath when it goes wrong.
Profile & biometrics, full history with personal bests, and granular control over every protocol, plus an advanced track for equalization, pre-dive routines, static apnea, and dive-reflex conditioning.
Quiz Mode drops questions into your session mid-hold, the same cognitive overload that triggers panic on a real dive. You're not just training your lungs. You're training the part of you that has to keep breathing when something goes wrong.
The Air Save mode is a 1:2 inhale-to-exhale trainer and it genuinely improved my SAC rate. Practiced 10 minutes a day for two weeks before a liveaboard and my air lasted noticeably longer on every dive. The breathing circle and phase beep keep you on cadence perfectly. Simple concept, gets results.
I've just gotten into freediving and found the whole breathing part really intimidating (because I was rubbish at it!). I've since improved so much and I have this app to thank for it. Daily practice is a must and DeepBreath makes that easy and fun, so I actually want to practice! Thank you!!
I've found this app really helpful to prepare for getting back into diving after years away from proactively diving for recreation and work.
Every other breathwork app rents you your own progress. Deep Breath is a one-time purchase that lives on your device, forever. Your training data never leaves your phone.

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. YOUR USE OF THE APP IS CONDITIONAL ON YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE DISCLAIMERS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS IN THIS SECTION.
14.1 "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. THE COMPANY AND ITS LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, AND FREEDOM FROM ERROR. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.
14.2 Health and wellness disclaimer. The App provides breathwork exercises and general educational content for wellness and self-practice purposes only. The App does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or any form of clinical guidance. The Content has not been reviewed, endorsed, certified, or evaluated by any medical professional, regulatory body, or public health authority. You must not rely on the App for any medical decision. Always seek the advice of a qualified physician or healthcare professional with any questions you have regarding a medical condition or before beginning any breathing or physical exercise program.
14.3 Breath-hold and diving disclaimer. Breath-hold practices carry serious and potentially fatal risks, including shallow water blackout, hypoxic blackout, hyperventilation-induced syncope, cardiac events, loss of consciousness, brain injury, and death. These risks are most severe when breath-holds are practiced in, on, or near water, and they can occur suddenly and without warning. The App does not substitute for certified freediving, scuba, apnea, or breathwork instruction from a recognized training agency. Any in-water breath-hold practice requires qualified in-person instruction, a trained buddy, and adherence to the safety standards of a recognized agency.
14.4 Medical conditions. You must consult a qualified physician before using the App if you have any of the following, or any other condition that could be affected by changes in breathing, oxygenation, carbon dioxide levels, intrathoracic pressure, or autonomic activity:
14.5 Physical environment. Breathwork can cause dizziness, lightheadedness, tingling, visual changes, fainting, or loss of consciousness. You agree to use the App only in a safe, stable seated or lying position, in a safe environment, and you agree never to use the App while:
14.6 Binding safety acknowledgments. Before first use, the App requires you to affirmatively acknowledge four safety statements. Those statements are incorporated into these Terms and bind you as contractual obligations. By using the App you reaffirm each of the following:
14.7 Assumption of risk. You acknowledge that the use of breathing techniques, breath-holding, apnea, hyperventilation, and related practices carries inherent and substantial risk. You knowingly and voluntarily assume all such risks arising from or related to your use of the App, whether inside or outside the scope intended by the App.
15.1 Exclusion of indirect damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES — INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF USE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES — ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE APP, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND EVEN IF THE COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
15.2 Exclusion of liability for personal injury. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, ILLNESS, DISABILITY, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, OR DEATH ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR PRACTICE OF BREATHWORK, BREATH-HOLDING, APNEA, OR ANY OTHER TECHNIQUE PRESENTED IN, INSPIRED BY, OR ATTEMPTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE APP, WHETHER PRACTICED INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE SCOPE INTENDED BY THE APP AND WHETHER OR NOT THE INJURY WAS FORESEEABLE.
15.3 Aggregate cap. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, AND LICENSORS FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID TO APPLE FOR THE APP; OR (B) ONE HUNDRED CANADIAN DOLLARS (CAD $100).
15.4 Basis of the bargain. You acknowledge that the disclaimers and limitations in Sections 14 and 15 are a fundamental basis of the bargain between you and the Company, that the price you paid for the App reflects the allocation of risk set out in these Terms, and that we would not provide the App to you on any other basis.
15.5 Failure of essential purpose. The limitations in this Section 15 apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.
15.6 Jurisdictional exceptions. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties, damages, or liabilities. If any exclusion or limitation in Sections 14 or 15 is held to be unenforceable in your jurisdiction, that exclusion or limitation will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including (without limitation) non-excludable consumer protections under the British Columbia Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act, the United Kingdom Consumer Rights Act 2015, the European Union Consumer Rights Directive, or applicable laws regarding personal injury or death caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct.
16.1 Your indemnity. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and licensors from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:
16.2 Control of defense. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense of that matter. You will not settle any claim without our prior written consent.
17.1 Termination by you. You may terminate these Terms at any time by uninstalling the App from your Device and ceasing all use of the App.
17.2 Termination by the Company. We may suspend or terminate your license to use the App, or discontinue the App in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, including if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you through the App Store or through the App where practicable.
17.3 Effect of termination. Upon termination, your right to use the App ends immediately, and you must uninstall the App from all Devices. Termination does not entitle you to a refund, except as required by Apple's refund policies or by applicable law.
17.4 Survival. Sections 2, 7.3, 9.3, 9.4, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17.3, 17.4, 18, 19, 20, and 21 survive termination of these Terms.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED BY INDIVIDUAL, BINDING ARBITRATION AND CONTAINS A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. YOU MAY OPT OUT UNDER SECTION 18.7.

Before initiating any formal dispute-resolution procedure, the parties agree to attempt, in good faith, to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or related to these Terms or the App (a "Dispute") through informal negotiation. You agree to first contact us at hello@jamesmontgomerydesign.com with a written description of the Dispute, and the parties will have thirty (30) days to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally.
18.2 Binding arbitration. If the Dispute is not resolved within the 30-day informal-resolution period, the Dispute will be resolved by final and binding arbitration, except as set out in Sections 18.5 and 18.7.

18.3 Arbitration body and rules. Arbitration will be administered by the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. (ADRIC) in accordance with its Arbitration Rules then in effect (the "Rules"). If ADRIC is unavailable, the parties will select an equivalent arbitral body by mutual agreement.
18.4 Seat, language, and arbitrator. The seat (legal place) of arbitration will be Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The language of the arbitration will be English. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the Rules. Where permitted by the Rules and by applicable law, the arbitration may be conducted remotely.

18.6 Class action waiver. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE WILL BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this Section 18.6 is held to be unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, that Dispute will be severed from arbitration and resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction under Section 19, and the remainder of the arbitration obligations in this Section 18 will continue to apply.
18.7 Opt-out. You may opt out of the arbitration and class-action-waiver provisions in Sections 18.2 through 18.6 by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to hello@jamesmontgomerydesign.com within thirty (30) days of the date you first accept these Terms. The notice must include your name, the email address associated with your App Store purchase (if any), the date you first accepted these Terms, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, Disputes will be resolved in the courts identified in Section 19. Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other provision of these Terms.
18.8 Confidentiality. The parties will keep the arbitration proceedings confidential, except to the extent disclosure is required by law or to enforce or challenge an award.
18.9 Time limit. Any Dispute must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action arose, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Disputes not commenced within that period are permanently barred.
19.1 Governing law. These Terms, and any Dispute arising out of or related to them or to the App, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable in that province, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
19.2 Forum. Subject to Section 18 (which requires most Disputes to be resolved by arbitration), you and the Company agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for any judicial proceeding permitted under these Terms.
19.3 UN sales convention. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.
20.1 Modifications. We may modify these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document and post the revised Terms at jamesmontgomerydesign.com/deepbreath/#terms. Where we reasonably consider the changes to be material, we will provide additional notice through the App, through the App Store listing, or by any other reasonable means.
20.2 Acceptance of changes. Your continued use of the App after the effective date of any change constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the App and uninstall it from your Device.
20.3 Material changes and re-acknowledgment. For changes we reasonably consider material, we may require you to re-acknowledge the in-app safety acknowledgments or to accept the revised Terms before continuing to use the App.

This Section 21 applies solely to the extent you obtained the App through the Apple App Store.

21.3 Maintenance and support. The Company is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services with respect to the App, as required by applicable law. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the App.
21.4 Warranty. The Company is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App to you; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the Company's sole responsibility.
21.5 Product claims.

22.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and the Apple EULA, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the App and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, and representations relating to the App.
22.2 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
22.3 No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Company.

© James Montgomery Design Inc. All rights reserved.
The complete Privacy Policy is reproduced below. Scroll within the box to read all of it.
Effective Date: May 5, 2026 Last Updated: May 5, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how James Montgomery Design Inc. (operating as Satellite Design Studio) (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with the Deep Breath mobile application for iOS (the "App").
We have designed the App so that your information stays on your device. We do not run a backend server, we do not use analytics, and we do not transmit your usage data to ourselves or to any third party. This Privacy Policy explains what that means in detail.
This Privacy Policy applies to your use of the Deep Breath mobile application for iOS. It does not apply to:
The App does not require an account. You can use it without providing any identifying information. If you choose to use optional features, you may enter the following on your device:
All of the above is stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData and UserDefaults frameworks. None of it is transmitted to us or to any third party. We do not have access to it.
The App uses your device's microphone to measure live breath amplitude during certain exercises. The audio buffer is processed in real time on your device to derive numeric metrics ("breath strength" and "exhale consistency") that are displayed on screen.
We do not operate a server, and the App does not transmit data to us. We therefore do not collect:
The App does not include any third-party analytics, advertising, marketing, attribution, crash-reporting, A/B-testing, or tracking software development kits.
The App makes one type of outbound network call: when you tap a legal-links button in the safety acknowledgment screen or settings, iOS opens this website in your system browser. That action is initiated by you and is functionally identical to typing the URL into your browser. We do not pre-load, prefetch, or otherwise contact this website from inside the App.
We do not run analytics on this website either. The website is statically hosted on Netlify; Netlify may log standard request metadata (IP address, user-agent, requested URL, timestamp) for the purposes of operating the hosting service. That logging is governed by Netlify's privacy practices.
When you purchase or download the App through the Apple App Store, Apple receives the information necessary to process the transaction and deliver the App to your device. That information is collected and processed by Apple in accordance with Apple's Privacy Policy (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/), and is outside our control. We do not receive your payment details. We may receive aggregate, anonymized sales reporting from Apple that does not identify you.
The App is intended for users 16 years of age or older, consistent with its App Store age rating of 16+ and the safety considerations described in our Terms of Service. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). Because the App does not collect or transmit information to us at all, we do not maintain databases of user information of any age.
Because all data the App stores about you is local to your device, you control it directly:
We cannot delete data on your behalf because we never receive it.
Because no data is transmitted to us, there is no server-side data of yours to secure. On-device data is protected by the security of your iOS device (passcode, biometric authentication, and Apple's data-protection encryption). We recommend keeping your iOS device updated and protected by a passcode.
The App may be downloaded from anywhere the Apple App Store operates. Because we do not collect or transmit your information, no cross-border transfer of your information by us takes place. Apple's handling of App Store transactions is governed by Apple's privacy practices, which include international data transfers as described in Apple's Privacy Policy.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with data-protection laws, you have certain rights regarding personal information (including rights of access, correction, and deletion). Because we do not hold any of your personal information, requests of this nature can be fully addressed by you directly on your device using the steps in Section 9. If you have questions, contact us at hello@jamesmontgomerydesign.com.
The App does not incorporate any third-party software development kits, analytics services, advertising networks, attribution providers, or social-media integrations. The only third party involved in your use of the App is Apple, in its capacity as the operator of the iOS platform and the App Store.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date above and post the revised policy at this URL. For changes we reasonably consider material, we will provide additional notice through the App or through the App Store listing where practicable. Your continued use of the App after a revised Privacy Policy takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
