I’m a developer and I’ve built two Garmin watch apps for dry breath training and would love feedback from the freediving community.
Apps:
Breath Training Tool (Free)
https://apps-developer.garmin.com/apps/7190365c-13f5-4789-ba3e-1f1feac42409
BreathTraining System PRO
https://apps-developer.garmin.com/apps/12b88972-bc50-40c7-a138-e1e8d6f38068
Purpose & function:
Both apps are designed strictly for dry breath training (not underwater use).
They focus on structured breathing and breath-hold training such as:
- CO2-style interval tables
- O2-style interval tables
- Static breath-hold training with PB tracking
- Guided breathing / recovery sessions
The PRO version expands this into a full training system with:
- adaptive progression based on performance and fatigue
- readiness-based session recommendations
- detection of plateau, decline, and overtraining patterns
- CO2 tolerance, O2 adaptation, and recovery tracking
- predicted personal best based on recent performance trends
- structured training paths (CO2, O2, apnea, recovery, breathwork, etc.)
Feedback I’m looking for:
- usefulness of training structure for real freediving dry training
- whether progression/adaptation feels meaningful or overcomplicated
- missing training modes or features
- clarity/usability on Garmin devices (especially during training)
- overall training realism vs simplicity balance
Availability:
- Garmin Connect IQ (Garmin watches only)
Pricing:
- Free version: free
- PRO version: paid (single purchase)
Privacy:
- no user accounts
- no external data collection
- all training data stored locally on the device
I’m actively improving both apps and would really appreciate any feedback from people actually training freediving or breath-hold disciplines.
Also open to collaboration with freediving instructors, coaches, or training groups.
