Show HN: I learned to code and built a privacy-first breathwork app

Hi HN!<p>TL;DR Had anxiety. Discovered breathwork. Learned to code and built a free app with no user data collection.<p>Like for many people, the lockdown was doing real a number on my anxiety. I was lucky to discover breathwork through J. Nestor’s excellent ‘Breath’. Couple more books and podcasts later, I decided to build a simple, privacy-first app around some of the key exercises that affect wakefulness, focus and sleep.<p>I’m 34 and I had to learn programming from scratch. It’s been a great learning experience to say the least. I would appreciate any advice or feedback on the app or how to become a better app developer.<p>App: Swift with Xcode using native Apple APIs Website: Webflow + Cloudflare
