Your phone gave you anxiety. Now it gives you calm. Squair brings science-backed breathing protocols to your pocket: Box Breathing for stress, Zen Button for panic attacks, 4-7-8 for sleep. The same techniques Navy SEALs use - now in your pocket. Works offline. Built for anxious founders, overwhelmed creators and anyone who’s tried 4 cups of coffee just to focus. Free to start. No pills. No meditation journeys. Just breathe.
I'm Aaryan. I built Squair because my phone was giving me anxiety and it was also the only thing in my pocket when anxiety hit.
The problem I was solving for myself:
4 cups of coffee just to focus. Then the anxiety kicks in. Chest tight. Racing thoughts. Can't breathe properly. Scrolling reels to "calm down" - made it worse.
I Googled "anxiety relief" and found box breathing. Same technique Navy SEALs use in combat. First time I tried it: I could really feel the difference within 2 minutes.
No crash. No pills. Just breathing.
So I built Squair.
The build:
6 months, solo dev with full time job, countless nights & weekends & 112 builds later Squair was born.
What Squair actually does:
→ Zen Button — Panic attack in a meeting? One tap. Instant guided breathing.
→ Box Breathing — Navy SEAL technique. 2 minutes to calm.
→ 4-7-8 Breathing — Fall asleep faster. No pills.
→ Works offline — Anxiety doesn't wait for WiFi.
→ Free forever — Core breathing costs nothing.
Who this is for:
- Anxious developers who need focus on demand
- People who get panic attacks and need help NOW
- Anyone scrolling at 3am instead of sleeping
- People who can't afford $200/week therapy
- ADHD folks who need grounding when overwhelmed
My ask:
Try it. Tell me what breaks. Tell me what helps.
Built this because I needed it. Sharing because maybe you do too.
Great idea! I’ve long wanted to make a similar app for memory training. There are simple exercises used, for example, by chess players. They also fit perfectly into the concept of an app with reminders. I think other areas of personal development could be done the same way.
Good idea for anxiety relief, but more features than just breathing tools would improve it
Offline + the “Zen Button” sounds handy when you’re spiraling and don’t want another app rabbit hole. How do you guide pacing without staring at the screen the whole time.. audio/haptics?
Exactly what I needed today. As someone who gets chest-tight moments before big meetings, the one-tap Box Breathing is genius. No fluff, just works offline — huge win. Rooting for the Android drop end of January! Keep going 🔥
Really nice! I love that you have a family plan...my whole family struggles with sleep and anxiety, so I might just pay up! I noticed a couple of responsivity issues: clicking on things (like the exercise cards) didn't do anything, so I had to touch a few times to get it... I'm not sure if it was a hit target issue or something else, but I did notice it a few times. I love the expanding/contracting circle on the 4-7-8 breathing. Great work!
Love the focus on simplicity. As an MD (and solo dev of a health app), I constantly see patients overwhelmed by "wellness apps" that feel like homework.
The Navy SEAL box breathing is legitimately effective physiology. Packaging it into a 2-minute tool without the fluff is smart.
Upvoted! Do you have plans to integrate with Apple Health (Mindfulness minutes) down the road?
The box breathing technique is solid, but I'm curious—did you find people actually stick with it when they're anxious, or does the panic make them skip opening the app?
No, this is an application worth having, in the world we’re living nowadays this is just what we need
Nice job good luck
clean product, strong messaging, and the demo video really pulls it together. would love to know what tools or workflow you used for the video.
In the age of AI, I now everyday look at my phone screen every 5 mins or even less...... Gosh who knows how anxious and tired i feel every moment of my work and life. I seriously need Squair! Hope it could save me.
Huge congrats on the launch! 🚀 Squair hits a real pain point for anxious founders and creators by turning clinically backed Navy SEAL-style breathing protocols into a fast, focused tool rather than another noisy wellness app.
“Works 100% Offline”, I love this freestyle, less limits, more start.
And when android will come? waiting for it.
Congrats on shipping @mindofaaryan ! 🔥 The framing really resonated, especially the “your phone used to give you anxiety, now it gives you calm.”
We’ve also been building a similar product (Lila) in this mental-performance space for creatives & founders, so was great to see someone else go after the same problem. Rooting for you.

PS: Believe it or not, I'm using Squair right now to calm my nerves before this launch.
What protocol do you use when stressed?
