When you want a pause, make the next step simple.
Too much content, no clear choice
Hundreds of meditations sound useful until you are stressed and scrolling through categories, trying to decide which one fits the moment.
The practice is disconnected
Most sessions do not begin with how you feel today or connect the result to the health profile you already use.
Memory smooths out the week
Without a quick check-in, it is hard to remember whether mood, energy, stress, and anxiety changed gradually or only felt intense today.
Check in. Try a short practice.
Check in with yourself
Record mood, energy, stress, and anxiety inside the same profile that holds your wearable, sleep, workout, nutrition, and health-record data.
See your Mind Readiness
Mind Readiness brings your recent check-ins into one view. xHeal uses that information to suggest a breathing practice or another check-in.
Breathe, save, and look back
Follow timed breathing phases with animation, haptics, and ambient audio. Completed breathing can be saved to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes.
A short practice for the moment you are in
“I am tense and need something short”
Open the recommended practice instead of searching a large content library when your attention is already stretched.
“Which short action fits how I feel today?”
Use recorded mood and stress as context for a clear next action instead of choosing from an endless library.
“How has my mood changed this week?”
Look back at mood check-ins and breathing sessions by date to see how the week felt as it happened.
“Which breathing pattern should I use?”
Choose from structured patterns for calming, sleep, focus, or regulation, with timed phases guiding each breath.
“Can I keep the session in Apple Health?”
Completed breathing sessions can be written to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes when permission is enabled.
“Can I see wellbeing beside physical health?”
Mood and breathing live in xHeal beside sleep, workouts, nutrition, wearable vitals, and health records.
Content libraries give you more to browse. xHeal gives you a clear next action.
Calm and Headspace center on large content libraries, while Breathwrk centers on breathwork breadth. xHeal connects mood check-ins, a readiness view, a recommended short action, guided breathing, and your wider health profile in one workflow.

Wellbeing support with responsible limits
No diagnosis from a check-in
Mood and readiness entries support personal awareness. They do not diagnose anxiety, depression, or any mental-health condition.
Guided breathing, not live heart-rate feedback
Timed phases guide your breathing. xHeal does not show real-time heart rate variability (HRV) during a session.
Your entries remain under your control
Mood and breathing activity stay within your private health profile and can be managed with your other xHeal data.
Professional care still matters
xHeal is a wellness tool and does not replace therapy, crisis support, psychiatric care, or medical treatment.

About mindfulness and Mind Readiness
Mind Readiness uses recent mood and stress check-ins and other supported context when available. Treat it as informational guidance, not a mental-health assessment.
No. Real-time HRV biofeedback during a breathing session is not currently available.
No. Breathing exercises and mood check-ins work without an Apple Watch, and completed breathing sessions can be saved to Apple Health when permission is enabled.
The full check-in records mood, energy, stress, and anxiety on a five-point scale. Activity history lets you review check-ins by date.
No. xHeal supports wellness awareness and breathing practice. It is not therapy, crisis support, diagnosis, or treatment. Seek qualified or emergency support when needed.
Less searching. One practice for this moment.
