Gateway Self-Practice
Guided breathing, relaxation and visualization. Fully offline.
A quiet Android app for a set of relaxation, breathing and visualization exercises. It is built around colour, breath and sound rather than reading.
What it does
- A guided session. The same frame around every exercise: paced breathing, setting worries aside, stating your intent, counting down, the exercise, then counting back up and writing down what happened.
- Breathing. An animated six-breath cycle with a per-second count, so you always know where you are.
- Focus 10 and Focus 12. Standalone trainers, each with its own count down, count back and instant return.
- Visualization exercises. Energy Bar Tool, Body Maps and REBAL, drawn as interactive colour on a body outline.
- Daily tools. Short colour and breath immersions you can run in a couple of minutes.
- Binaural beats and voice guidance, so exercises can be done with your eyes closed. Stereo headphones are required for the beats.
- A private practice journal, stored on your device and exportable whenever you want it.
Privacy in one line
The app does not request the internet permission at all, so it cannot send anything anywhere. No account, no ads, no analytics, no trackers. Everything you write stays on your device. The full policy is on the privacy page.
Please read before using it. These are relaxation and visualization exercises. They are not medical care, they do not diagnose or treat anything, and they are no substitute for seeing a clinician about real symptoms, including pain.
Speak to a clinician first if you have a seizure disorder, a heart condition, or a serious mental health condition. Breath holding is optional: hold only while it stays comfortable, and never in or near water. Practise lying or sitting somewhere safe, never while driving.
One exercise flashes light, capped at 3 flashes per second. Skip it if you are photosensitive.
