App for breathing exercises

Project Summary

Lungy is a health and wellness mobile app focused on breathwork — helping users reduce stress, improve sleep, and stay present with mindful, guided breathing techniques. What makes Lungy unique is its interactive real-time feedback: the app responds to the user’s breath and visualizes it dynamically on screen, creating an engaging and calming experience.

The app has been featured in Apple’s App of the Day, and recognized by major publications such as TechRadar, Mashable, and TechCrunch for its design and intuitive experience.

Business & User Challenges

Breathwork apps are thriving in the wellness market, but many struggle with:

• Keeping users engaged and motivated

• Offering real-time interactivity rather than static timers

• Balancing simplicity with customizable wellness routines

The goal of Lungy’s development was to create a breathwork experience that feels alive, natural, and responsive — more than just a digital timer or audio guide.

Solutions & Key Features

We developed Lungy to focus on user-centric breathwork journeys, driven by the following core capabilities:

🎧 Real-Time Breath Recognition

Instead of relying on preset timers or scripted audio, Lungy recognizes users’ breath patterns and uses them to animate visuals in real time — transforming each session into a dynamic, personalized experience.

🌀 Engaging Visual & Interactive Design

Breathing drives the visuals — from gently floating particles to immersive nature-inspired scenes — turning mindfulness into a visually soothing experience that users naturally return to.

📊 Personalized Progress Tracking

Users can see their progress and customized feedback, helping them develop consistent breathwork habits for stress reduction, relaxation, and better sleep rhythms.

📱 Offline-First Experience

Lungy works completely offline — no Wi-Fi or internet needed — making it accessible anytime and anywhere.

🔒 Privacy-First Architecture

The app never shares breath, microphone, or usage data externally. Everything stays securely on the device and is encrypted — addressing key wellness app privacy concerns.

Technology Stack (Typical for Projects Like This)

While the public App Store listing doesn’t list the full stack, successful interactive iOS wellness apps like Lungy generally leverage:

• Swift & UIKit/SwiftUI — for performant native iOS UI/UX

• Core Audio & AVFoundation — to capture and process real-time breath/audio signals

• HealthKit Integration — to support mindful minutes tracking

• Local Data Encryption — for secure on-device storage of user progress and settings

(If you want to showcase a hypothetical stack that matches Lungy’s feature set, I can draft a full technical breakdown.)

Results & Impact

Lungy’s release demonstrates how a well-executed wellness app can:

• Deliver a highly engaging, interactive user experience

• Earn editorial recognition and high ratings in the App Store

• Turn routine breathwork into an exploratory, visually inspiring activity

• Maintain privacy and offline reliability — critical factors for users interested in wellness tools
