Planner Guide - Auto-Generated Breathing Schedule | Respiro

The Planner is your personal practice schedule. After completing onboarding, Respiro automatically generates 8 weeks of breathing sessions and article recommendations tailored to your goals, experience level, health profile, and preferred times. You can adjust your schedule at any time, drag sessions between days, mark them complete, and export everything to your calendar.

How Your Schedule Is Created

After you complete onboarding, Respiro generates a personalized schedule using the intelligent scheduling engine. The system considers:

Your goals: Stress relief, focus, sleep, energy, meditation, recovery, confidence, digestion, or anxiety relief
Preferred times: Morning, midday, afternoon, evening, or night - the engine maps these to specific time slots (e.g. morning generates sessions at 7:00, 7:30, 8:00, etc.)
Practice days: Which days of the week you want to practice (weekdays, every day, or custom)
Sessions per day: How many sessions you want each practice day
Health considerations: Conditions like asthma, anxiety, high blood pressure, or pregnancy automatically filter out exercises that may be unsuitable
Experience level: Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced determines pattern complexity and session duration
Daily routine: Wake and sleep times, optional meal times, so sessions are placed around your real schedule

The result is 8 weeks of sessions drawn from the 12 Breathing Spaces, with variety tracking to avoid repetition and logical ordering (e.g. pre-workout before workout times, recovery after).

Schedule Summary

At the top of the Planner page, a summary section shows your schedule at a glance:

Total sessions: The number of breathing sessions in your schedule
Total articles: How many recommended articles have been generated
Spaces used: Which breathing spaces appear in your schedule, displayed as clickable colored chips
Completion rate: Percentage of sessions you have completed
Schedule info: Sessions per day, date range (e.g. "8 weeks · Feb 9 - Apr 5"), practice days (e.g. "Weekdays"), and preferred times
Health notice: If you indicated health considerations during onboarding, a notice reminds you which conditions are being filtered for
Free / Pro status: Shows your current tier with a crown icon for Pro members

Tap Adjust Schedule to open the Schedule Setup dialog and regenerate your plan with different preferences.

The Calendar

The Planner offers two calendar views that you can toggle between:

Week View (Infinite Scroll)

The default view shows a horizontally scrolling row of days. You can swipe or scroll sideways to move through your schedule. Each day cell shows:

Day name and number
A colored dot if sessions are scheduled for that day
Today's date is highlighted

The week view loads 30 days in each direction from today and lazily adds more days as you scroll toward the edges. Tap any day to see its sessions below.

Month View (v-calendar)

Toggle to the month view to see a full calendar grid. Days with sessions display colored dots:

Green dot: All sessions for that day are completed
Yellow dot: Some sessions completed, some remaining
Teal dot: Sessions scheduled but none completed yet

Below the month grid, stats show total sessions, active practice days, and completion rate for the visible month.

Session Cards

When you select a day, its sessions appear as color-coded cards below the calendar. Each card has a left border matching its Breathing Space color and displays:

Completion checkbox: Tap the circle to mark a session as complete. It records the actual date and time you finished
Session name: The routine name (e.g. "Pre-Work Focus") and the breathing space it belongs to
Time: The scheduled time, which you can tap to change via a time picker
Play button: Launches the breathing session with the routine's pattern pre-loaded
Redo button: Appears on completed sessions so you can repeat them
Delete button: Removes the session with an undo option

Oxy appears alongside the day's sessions with a mood that reflects your progress: celebratory when all sessions are done, encouraging when you're partway through, and gentle when nothing is started yet.

Drag-and-Drop Rescheduling

You can reschedule any uncompleted session by dragging it to a different day:

On desktop: Click and drag a session card to any day in the calendar. The target day highlights as you hover
On mobile: Long-press a session card (300ms) to pick it up. You will feel a haptic pulse when drag mode activates. Drag to a day and release to drop

Completed sessions cannot be dragged. After dropping, a confirmation message appears showing the session's new date.

Adding Sessions Manually

Besides the auto-generated schedule, you can add individual sessions:

Select a day on the calendar
Tap Add Session below the session list
Choose a breathing space and routine from the picker
Set the time using the time picker
Tap Save to add it to that day

You can also tap Explore Spaces to browse all 12 spaces and add sessions from there.

Adjust Schedule

Tap Adjust Schedule in the summary section to open the Schedule Setup dialog. This 5-step flow lets you reconfigure your plan:

Confirmation: Warning that regenerating will replace your current schedule
Goals: Multi-select your breathing goals (stress relief, focus, sleep, energy, etc.)
Profile: Set experience level and health considerations
Schedule: Choose time preferences, practice days, and sessions per day
Routine: Set wake and sleep times, plus optional meal times for smarter placement

After completing the setup, the intelligent scheduler generates a fresh 8-week plan with sessions and article recommendations.

Export to Calendar

The Planner can export your sessions to any calendar app (Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, etc.) using the ICS standard. Tap Export to Calendar to generate an ICS file containing:

Event title: "Respiro: [Routine Name]" (e.g. "Respiro: Box Breathing")
Description: The breathing space, template name, session duration, and a link back to the app
Time & duration: Your scheduled time and session length with timezone detection
Reminder: A 10-minute alarm before each session
Recurring events: Supports RRule-based recurrence (daily, weekly, weekdays, or custom days)
Categories: Tagged as BREATHING, WELLNESS, RESPIRO for easy filtering

On mobile, the export uses the native Share sheet so you can send the ICS file to any app. On desktop, it downloads as respiro-planner-YYYY-MM-DD.ics.
