Essential Breathing – a simple Android breathing app made with Godot

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a small Android app I made with Godot: Essential Breathing.

It is a very simple breathing app with a vertical gauge and a ball that moves up during inhalation and down during exhalation. The goal was to keep the experience minimal, calm, and easy to use on a phone.

The app includes:

  • configurable inhale and exhale durations

  • configurable session duration

  • several visual themes

  • saved settings

  • a simple portrait mobile layout

  • localization in English, French, and Spanish

I originally thought about putting it on the Play Store, but for such a small personal app, the publication process felt a bit too heavy for me: developer account, required information, testing requirements, and so on. So for now I decided to simply publish it as a signed APK through GitHub Releases.

The project is made with Godot 4.6.2 and GDScript.

Repository and APK release:
Essential breathing - release v1.0.0

Here are two screenshots:

It was a nice little project to test Godot for a real Android app, not just a game. Feedback is welcome.
