Breaths Per Minute1.5.0 - App Store

Tap the screen once for each breath you observe. The app calculates the rate in real time - no mental math, no fumbling with a stopwatch. A built-in timer ensures you count long enough for an accurate result, and every measurement is saved automatically so you can review your full history anytime.

WHY IT MATTERS

Dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, babies, and adults can all suffer from conditions that show up as changes in breathing rate - heart failure, asthma, lung disease, pain, fever, and more. Catching an upward trend early can make a real difference. Veterinary cardiologists routinely ask pet owners to monitor resting respiratory rate at home, and this app makes it effortless.

NAME YOUR PET OR PERSON

Assign a name and emoji to your measurements so you always know who they belong to. Your measurement history stays clearly labeled and easy to read back.

MEASUREMENT NOTES

Add a note to any measurement - "after a walk", "post-medication", "vet asked to recheck". Your notes are saved alongside the reading and included in exports.

AUTO-STOP

The measurement can stop itself: adaptively, a few moments after you stop tapping - or after a fixed 30 or 60 second window, the way vets usually instruct. A countdown ring shows the time remaining, and the phone vibrates when the measurement is done.

TIMED HAPTIC ALERTS

A gentle vibration at 30 and 60 seconds lets you know how long you've been counting without taking your eyes off your pet.

EXPORT & SHARE

Your data is never locked in. Export your full measurement history as a CSV spreadsheet - free for everyone. With Pro, turn it into a clean PDF report with a summary table and trend chart - ready to print or email straight from the app.

PRO FEATURES

Upgrade to Pro to unlock multiple profiles - track each pet or family member separately with their own history. Create vet-ready PDF reports with a summary table and trend chart. Back up all your profiles and measurements to a JSON file, and restore them on any device. CSV export of your raw data stays free for everyone. Pro is available as a monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.

LOCALIZED FOR YOU

Dates display in your local format. The app is available in English, Russian, German, and Spanish.

This app is an observation tool, not a medical device. Always consult a qualified professional for health decisions.
