Stop unconsciously mouth breathing while you’re on your computer
Breathe quietly watches your face through your webcam and lets you know (through sound) the moment your mouth drops open, so you can build healthy nasal breathing habits without thinking about it.
Works on desktop with a webcam. No video is recorded or stored.

You can’t fix what you don’t notice
Mouth breathing isn’t just a weird habit. Over time it can dry out your mouth, worsen bad breath, disturb sleep, and contribute to jaw and facial changes. It also drains energy and focus for a lot of people.
The tricky part? Most people don’t even realize when they’re doing it. It happens when you’re deep in work, gaming, scrolling, or exhausted at the end of the day.
Breathe makes the invisible visible. It catches mouth breathing the moment it happens and gives you a gentle nudge to close your mouth and go back to nasal breathing.
How it works
Set it once. Let it watch for you.
Turn it on
Open Breathe, allow webcam access, and position your face in view. Then minimize it and go back to whatever you’re doing.
Smart mouth detection
On-device AI tracks your face and detects when your mouth stays open long enough to count as mouth breathing.
Gentle alerts
Choose how you want to be nudged: a soft sound, a subtle on-screen notification, or both. Every alert is a reminder to close your mouth and breathe through your nose.
Build the habit over time
Over days and weeks, those small corrections add up. You become more aware of your breathing and naturally default back to nasal breathing more often.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Does this record me?
No. Breathe analyzes your face locally to detect when your mouth is open. We don’t save, upload, or stream your video.
Will it work if I move around?
As long as your face is mostly in view of the webcam, it can detect mouth breathing. You can tweak sensitivity in settings.
Is this medical advice?
No. Breathe is a behavior and habit tool, not a medical device. If you have concerns about your breathing or sleep, talk to a healthcare professional.
What do I need to use it?
