Questions
I can't hear any sound.
Check that your volume is up and that Sounds is on in the app (Me → Settings → Sound). You can set how loud the background sound and the breathing cues are under Levels. Slower plays its sounds even when your iPhone is set to silent, so the silent switch is not the cause. If you use Bluetooth headphones, check they are connected before you start.
Can I turn the vibrations off, or on?
Yes. Haptics are the gentle taps that mark each breath, so you can follow along with your eyes closed. Turn them on or off under Me → Settings → Haptics.
How do daily reminders work?
You can choose a time for one gentle reminder a day. Change the time or turn it off under Me → Settings → Reminder. If reminders don't arrive, open the iPhone Settings app → Notifications → Slower and make sure notifications are allowed. Focus modes can also hold notifications back.
What do the pace options "Standard" and "Extra slow" mean?
Standard follows the timing each exercise is usually taught with. Extra slow stretches every breath out a little longer, for when you want to slow right down. Pick whichever feels comfortable; there is no right answer. The pace option appears on exercises where a slower version makes sense.
Which exercise should I start with?
Pick how you feel on the Today screen (stressed, anxious, angry, unfocused, sleepless or tired) and Slower suggests a breathing exercise that fits. If you're not sure, a slow breath with a long exhale is a good place to start.
Is it safe to do the breath-hold exercises?
Do the 30-breath rounds, wake-up pumps and breath-hold timer only seated or lying down, never in or near water and never while driving. Stop if you feel dizzy or unwell. If you are pregnant, or have a heart, lung or seizure condition, ask your doctor first. Slower is not medical advice or treatment. More in our Terms of Use.
Do I need an account? Is it really free?
No account is needed. Slower is free, with no ads.
Where is my data? How do I delete it?
Everything (your history, answers and settings) is stored only on your iPhone. We don't collect any of it. Deleting the app deletes all of it. See our Privacy Policy.
I moved to a new iPhone and my history is gone.
Your history moves only if the app's data was included in your iPhone backup or transfer. Slower has no account or cloud sync, so we can't restore it for you.
Can I suggest an exercise or report a bug?
Please do. Email contact@globany.com. We read every message.
