Help & Getting Started

Everything you need to set up and customize your branded meditation app.

Getting Started

BreathClock gives you a branded meditation and breathwork timer app in minutes. Here’s how to get your app live:

Customizing Your Branding

From your admin dashboard, go to Branding to customize:

• Logo — Upload a square PNG or JPEG (max 2 MB). Shown on the splash screen and in browser tabs.
• Favicon — Upload a square image (max 512 KB) for browser tabs.
• Colors — Set your primary and secondary brand colors. The dashboard shows a contrast check to ensure readability.
• Business name — Displayed on the splash screen and in the app header.
• Tagline — A short phrase shown below your name (e.g., “Yoga & Meditation”).
• Splash quote — Displayed above the “Begin” button when users open the app.
• About text — Custom text shown in the app’s About section.
• Fonts (Pro only) — Choose from curated Google Fonts for your app.

Changes propagate within 60 seconds. A live preview in the dashboard shows how your app will look.

Setting Up a Custom Domain

Custom domains are a Pro feature. With Pro, you can serve your app from your own domain (e.g., meditate.yourstudio.com).

Step 1: Enter your domain

Go to Domain in your admin dashboard and enter your custom domain name.

Step 2: Add a CNAME record

In your DNS provider (e.g., Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap), add a CNAME record:

• Type: CNAME
• Name: your subdomain (e.g., meditate)
• Value: your-slug.breathclock.com

Step 3: Provision SSL

Click “Provision SSL” in the dashboard. An SSL certificate will be automatically issued once DNS propagation completes. This can take 15 minutes to 48 hours.

Step 4: Verify

Use “Check verification” to confirm your domain is working. Once verified, your app will be accessible at your custom domain with HTTPS.

Audio

Built-in audio (available on all plans)

Every BreathClock app ships with a full library of built-in audio — no uploads required, available to your clients on every plan.

• 6 chimes — Tibetan bowls, bells, and glass chimes. Clients choose which plays at the start, at intervals, and at the end of a session.
• 3 ambient soundscapes — Beach waves, tree frogs, and woodland stream. Each loops seamlessly for sessions of any length.
• 1 background music track — Gentle meditation music that loops quietly in the background.
• 5 guided meditation sessions — Beginner-friendly voice guidance your clients can choose before starting any timer session:
  • Yoga Nidra (Beginner)
  • MBSR Body Scan (Beginner)
  • Zen — Breath Awareness (Beginner)
  • TMI Stage 0 (Beginner)
  • Loving-Kindness (Beginner)

Your clients access all built-in audio from the Settings screen in your app. No configuration needed on your end.

Custom audio uploads (Pro only)

Pro tenants can upload their own recordings on top of the built-in library. Go to Audio in your admin dashboard to manage uploads.

• Chimes — Short sounds played at session start, end, and intervals. Max 2 MB each. Supported formats: MP3, OGG, WAV, M4A.
• Foreground — Your own guided voice recordings that play over background audio. Max 25 MB each. Supported formats: MP3, M4A, OGG, OPUS, FLAC.
• Soundscapes — Ambient textures that loop seamlessly throughout a session. Max 3 MB each.
• Music — Background music tracks with your choice of loop policy. Max 25 MB each.

Each audio tab in the admin includes a full guide covering what the track type does, how to record or source suitable audio, how to compress large files, and legal sourcing requirements.

You must confirm that you own or have licensed all audio files you upload. Unauthorized use of copyrighted material may result in file removal.

Timer Presets & Breathwork Patterns

Timer presets

Customize the duration options available to your users (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 minutes). Go to Patterns in your dashboard to configure these.

Custom breathwork pattern (Pro)

Create a custom breathing pattern with specific timings for inhale, hold, exhale, and pause. Your custom pattern appears alongside the 10 built-in patterns.

• Inhale: 1–15 seconds
• Hold: 0–15 seconds
• Exhale: 1–30 seconds
• Pause: 0–10 seconds
• Total cycle: 4–60 seconds

Patterns with a breath hold of 4+ seconds will display a safety notice to users.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do my clients need to create accounts?

No. Your clients use the app without creating an account. Session data is stored locally on each user’s device. There’s no login, no signup, and no personal data collected.

Can my clients use the app offline?

Yes. Once your clients visit the app and it loads, it works offline. They can install it on their home screen for an app-like experience. All built-in chimes and soundscapes are cached for offline use. If you have a Pro plan with custom audio uploaded, the currently-selected tracks are also cached.

What data do you collect about my clients?

We collect only anonymous, aggregate usage counts (e.g., “12 sessions this week”). By default, we don’t know who your clients are, what they meditate on, or how long individual sessions last. See our Privacy Policy.

Can I have multiple branded apps?

On the Starter plan, you can have 1 app per email address. On the Pro plan, you can have up to 5 apps per email address.

How long does branding take to update?

Changes saved in the admin dashboard propagate to your app within 60 seconds. Users who have the app open may need to refresh to see the latest branding.

Can I use my own domain with the free plan?

Custom domains are available on the Pro plan. On Starter, your app is served from your-brand.breathclock.com.

What happens if I cancel my Pro subscription?

Your app reverts to the Starter tier. Custom fonts, custom domain, custom audio, and custom breathwork patterns are disabled. Your logo, name, and colors remain. The “Powered by BreathClock” banner returns.

Is there a free trial for Pro?

There’s no free trial, but Pro comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. The founding member rate ($187/year for the first 2 years) is available for a limited time.

What guided meditations come built in?

Every BreathClock app — on any plan — includes five beginner-friendly guided sessions that your clients can choose before starting a timer:

• Yoga Nidra (Beginner) — A short non-sleep deep rest practice.
• MBSR Body Scan (Beginner) — A body-scan meditation in the mindfulness tradition.
• Zen — Breath Awareness (Beginner) — Simple instruction for settling attention on the breath.
• TMI Stage 0 (Beginner) — A technique for labeling arising thoughts and sensations.
• Loving-Kindness (Beginner) — A classic well-wishing practice.

No setup is required on your end. These tracks appear automatically in your clients’ Settings under Foreground. Pro tenants can upload additional recordings on top of these.

Can I record my own guided meditations and upload them?

Yes, if you are on the Pro plan. Record yourself in a quiet room — your phone works fine. A simple structure is all you need: a brief settling period, the main guidance, and a gentle closing. Save the file as an MP3 and upload it from the Audio → Foreground tab in your admin dashboard.

You must own the recording or have explicit written permission to use it commercially. Do not upload content from published programs, streaming services, or video platforms. Each audio tab in the admin includes a full sourcing and recording guide.

How do I reduce the file size of a large audio recording?

Open the file in a free audio editor such as Audacity and export it as an MP3:

• Voice recordings (foreground): export as a single-channel (mono) MP3 at a moderate quality setting. A 20-minute voice recording typically comes out around 10 MB — well within the 25 MB limit.
• Soundscapes: a 30-second ambient clip at a moderate quality setting is usually under 400 KB.
• Chimes: a 5-second recording is naturally small. Lower quality settings are indistinguishable for short bell sounds.

Each audio tab in your admin dashboard includes specific guidance for that track type.
