Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Artur, maker of Breathing in Labour.
This started when my partner and I were preparing for birth: breathing is the
one tool every birth class teaches, but during a contraction nobody remembers
"inhale 4, exhale 8." You need something to follow, not something to remember.
So I built a breath coach you follow, not read — a calm animation paces every
inhale, hold and exhale. It was born for labor, but the same techniques work
for anyone: stress, anxious moments, falling asleep, box breathing at 3am with
a newborn. If you breathe, it's for you. 🫁
The part I'm most proud of: everything you actually need is free. All 7 guided
techniques — Box, Up, Relaxation, "Haa" and Candle Blowing for early labor and
everyday calm; Down and J-Shaped for the pushing stage — free, forever, no
exercise paywall.
📖 It teaches, not just paces. Every technique comes with the full context:
what it's for, when in labor to use it (early Stage I? between contractions?
pushing?), step-by-step instructions and a visualization to hold onto — plus a
guide on why breathing matters and how to practice, including together with
your birth partner. You walk in knowing why you're breathing this way, not
just following shapes.
Most breathing apps lock the breathing itself behind a subscription. I did the
opposite: Premium only changes how the app looks and feels — audio soundscapes,
color themes, and building your own custom breathing patterns. The core
practice is never the product being sold.
🎁 Want to try Premium anyway? We made a launch offer just for Product Hunt:
open lebene.pl/en/producthunt and you get the first 3 days of the subscription
free (on iPhone the code redeems automatically in the App Store; on Android
install first, then open that link).
