Breathe (also known as Breathe HR/BreatheHR) is a UK HR platform, founded in 2012, for small and medium-sized businesses. It brings people records, leave, documents, performance, reporting and compliance into one place, replacing scattered spreadsheets and disconnected tools.
What's included
Core HR: secure central employee records and documents, holiday and leave requests, sickness and absence tracking, self-service, e-signatures, performance management (goals, feedback, one-to-ones, reviews), reporting and analytics.
Optional modules:
- e-Learning: training management, UK-specific courses, completion tracking
- Health and Safety: risk assessments, incident reports, certifications, compliance evidence
- Recruitment: hiring workflows, job ads, candidate tracking - Expenses: claims, receipts, manager approval, spend tracking
- Rota, Time and Attendance: shifts, availability, hours, attendance
In development: an AI Assistant answering HR and policy questions from company information. Payroll planned for late 2026.
Problems solved
- Scattered data → one accurate central record
- Chasing approvals → self-service, e-signatures, shared workflows
- Lean HR teams → start with Core HR, add modules as needs grow
Result: less duplicate entry and chasing, clearer visibility, more manager and employee involvement.
Who it's for
Best fit: UK SMEs with up to 200 employees moving HR off spreadsheets, e.g. start-ups, charities, healthcare, retail, education and professional services, especially with lean or shared HR roles.
Evaluate carefully: 200+ employees, or needs for multinational payroll, complex global compliance, extensive custom workflows or enterprise workforce planning. Not a global enterprise HCM suite.
Why Breathe
- 17,000+ businesses; 1,000+ UK HR consultancies
- From £24/month per organisation, no long-term contracts or hidden fees
- Free 14-day trial, no obligation

Bottom line: a flexible, self-service way for UK SMEs to organise HR and cut admin, with room to grow into recruitment, learning, safety, expenses, rotas and payroll (late 2026).

MindStaq
MindStaq is an AI-native work management platform that helps organizations manage all work, not just projects — across roles from a single source of truth.
Most teams don't have a productivity problem; they have a tool-sprawl problem. Conversations live in one app, tasks in another, documents in a third, and AI in a fourth fragmenting context across disconnected silos. MindStaq collapses that sprawl into one workspace where your work and your AI operate on the same data.
Key capabilities:
* Model-agnostic AI built into the foundation — route tasks to GPT, Gemini, Claude, and others without vendor lock-in
* Quick Chat, Quick Note, and a unified My Library for instant capture and retrieval
* Private Staqs for personal work and shared Projects for team efforts
* Context-aware AI scoped to each project — no re-explaining, no copy-paste
* Built-in token tracking for cost visibility and governance
One workspace. Many models. Your work and your AI, finally together.
