Breeze: The Nordic web app that turns your breathing into stress insights

Norwegian startup Breeze has rolled out a browser‑based stress‑tracking web app that works on laptops and phones without any dedicated hardware. By combining the device’s camera and microphone with AI models, Breeze estimates a user’s stress level from subtle changes in breathing patterns and voice. After signing in, you can immediately start short breathing sessions or guided meditations directly in the browser.

Breeze can sync with popular health platforms like Apple Health and Google Fit, overlaying sleep duration, step counts, and other metrics with its own stress index. A dashboard breaks your day into segments such as work hours or bedtime and visualizes when stress tends to spike, making it easier to see which habits might be driving those peaks. Privacy is a key selling point: the company stresses that raw audio and video are processed locally where possible and that the service complies with Europe’s GDPR rules, something tech outlets have highlighted.

The service is currently English‑only but is accessible worldwide via any modern browser, so usage from Japan is already growing. Breeze offers a free tier for basic stress assessments, with detailed reports and team features available on subscription. By focusing on breathing instead of wearables, the app has caught the eye of Product Hunt‑style communities and international tech sites as a fresh take on everyday stress management.
