Let's be honest for a second. Nobody likes looking at their monthly bank statement and seeing a dozen tiny, recurring charges for apps they barely use. Five bucks here, ten bucks there. It adds up fast.
Somewhere along the line, the tech industry decided we shouldn't buy software anymore; we should rent it.
When we started looking for a reliable apnea training app to prep for spearfishing season, we hit a wall. Almost every decent app out there wanted a monthly or yearly subscription. We had to ask ourselves: why on earth do we need to pay a recurring fee just to have an app tell us when to hold our breath and when to exhale?
Freediving is fundamentally about simplicity and disconnecting. It's just you, a single breath, and the water. Paying a monthly subscription for a digital timer felt completely backwards to the spirit of the sport.
So, we decided to build the tool we actually wanted to use. That's how Aegean Breath was born.
Focusing on Tools, Not "Services"
When companies rely on subscriptions, they are forced to constantly invent new, often unnecessary features just to justify charging you every month. We didn't want to build a "Software as a Service" business. We just wanted a rock-solid training tool.
By throwing the subscription model out the window, we were able to focus entirely on the core features that actually help divers and spearfishers safely increase their bottom time:
No More Guessing the Math: We built an algorithm that takes a single "Best Effort" baseline test and automatically generates custom CO2 and O2 tables perfectly tailored to your current fitness level. You don't have to manually tweak intervals.
True Eyes-Free Training: You shouldn't have to stare at a glowing screen while trying to relax your heart rate. Our voice assistant, Alfie, guides your entire session with audio cues and haptics. Just close your eyes and focus on your diaphragm.
100% Offline and Private: We don't force you to create an account, and we don't sync your data to the cloud. Everything stays on your phone. If you want to run a CO2 table on a boat with zero cell reception, you can.
A Fair Deal: Pay Once, Own It Forever
We decided to keep the pricing as transparent as the water we want to dive in.
Aegean Breath is a one-time purchase of €9.99. That's it. You buy it once, you own it forever, and you get all future updates. No hidden paywalls, no "premium" tiers, and absolutely no recurring billing.
We also built in a 14-day free trial. We want you to actually use it, log some contractions, and see if it genuinely helps your breath-hold before you spend a single dime on it.
If you are tired of renting your training tools and want an app that respects your wallet as much as your time, we'd love for you to give it a try.
