Welcome to Monk Apnea

Dry breath-hold training. Please read this first.

Stay safe

  • Train dry only. Never in or near water: not in a pool, bath, lake or the sea.
  • Sit or lie down, somewhere you can't fall or hit your head. Never while driving, standing, or doing anything else.
  • Holding your breath can make you black out without warning. Stop at dizziness, tingling, unusual vision or confusion.
  • Ask a doctor first if you have a heart or lung condition, high blood pressure, epilepsy, or are pregnant.
  • Monk Apnea is a training timer, not a medical or safety device.

Anonymous training data

To learn how people train and progress, and to build features like a virtual coach, each session you do is shared as an anonymous record: the training, its settings, hold times, contractions and heart rate, the week it happened, and a rough picture of your progress (such as your personal best rounded to 15 seconds).

It never includes your name, email, account or device, and nothing links one record to another, so no record can be traced back to you. Signing in is optional and kept separate.

By tapping Accept & continue you agree to the Terms of Use, including the safety rules, and the Privacy Policy.

Breathing exercises

Follow the dot around the shape: moving up, breathe in; moving across, hold; moving down, breathe out. A soft voice or tone marks each change, so you can close your eyes.
