Relax Lite: Stress and Anxiety Relief is an app where users focus on guided breathing and meditation/mindfulness exercises to manage their stress and anxiety levels. Users first choose between a breathing or guided meditation exercise. Afterwards, they choose either a pre-chosen course or can switch to “classic” mode to customize the length of their exercise, breathing patterns, the type of music they prefer, their theme, and what “level” they are. Users can also track their progress through a log.
