Apple has today announced a new mindfulness-based health app for the Apple Watch called ‘Breathe’.

Breathe is designed to help users alleviate everyday stresses by coaching them through timed breathing sessions, which can be launched from the watch face and set up in advance with reminders.

Breathing sessions can be set to last between one and five minutes using the Digital Crown on the Apple Watch, and the app provides summaries of each session including the user’s recorded heart rate throughout.

The Breathe app is part of WatchOS 3, which will be released as a free upgrade this fall.
