Welcome to Indie App Spotlight. This is a weekly 9to5Mac series where we showcase the latest apps in the indie app world. If you’re a developer and would like your app featured, get in contact.

If you’re someone looking to add more meditation to your life, Yogi Breath could be the right fit. Yogi Breath is a guided breathwork app that moves at your pace – with a number of helpful features to keep you motivated.

Highlights

Unlike a lot of breathwork apps that quickly progress into advanced techniques, Yogi Breath has a huge focus on those who are just starting off. There’s six progression levels, starting at newbie, going up to beginner, intermediate, advanced, expert, and finally – yogi. No matter where you are in your journey, Yogi Breath should fit your needs.

In today’s world, things feel like they’re moving faster than ever. Meditation is a great way of helping you relieve stress and generally feel better – and guided breathing is a great way of achieving that.

Yogi Breath has 3 great features for helping you stick to the journey: location-based reminders, streaks, and Game Center integration. Say you’re about to go to a work meeting. Yogi Breath will see your location, and give you a little nudge to take a breath. Game Center integration gives you leaderboards to track your progress against others, and streaks are self explanatory.

The app also offers background audio tracks while you’re exercising, and there’s custom exercise builders to guide yourself as you see fit.

Download the app

Yogi Breath is available for free on the App Store for devices running iOS 16.6 and later, with most core features. For Yogi Pro, which unlocks all 42 techniques, location-based reminders, and all of the audio tracks – you can pay $4.99/mo, $29.99/year, or $59.99 for lifetime. Right now, there’s a promotional offer where you can get your first year for $9.99.

Anker 25K Compact Battery Bank

Featuring two built in cables, a built in display, multiple ports, a 25,000mAh capacity, and up to 100W of output - this is one of the best battery banks for recharging your entire Apple ecosystem on the go.

AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C)

AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C)

Despite a new version reportedly being around a corner, I still personally believe AirPods Pro 2 are a great deal. They're already equipped with USB-C, and continually gain new software features. With them consistently going on sale, it's a great purchase to make. Features like Adaptive Audio are incredible.
