Poor breathing leads to poor focus and burnout.
Grinding, focused, getting stuff done, but forgetting to breathe — here is a little helper to remind you.
Breathing exercises
- Guided patternsChoose from three proven techniques — Just Breathe, Box Breath, and 4-7-8 — or dial in your own.
- Beautiful breathing orbA glowing orb expands and contracts with your breath. Easy to follow without thinking.
- Settling countdownA short intro prompt plays before each session so you arrive at the breath already calm.
- RoundsSessions repeat up to 20 times — long enough to feel the effect, short enough to fit between meetings.
Smart reminders
- Set it and forget itTaps you on the shoulder at a fixed interval or randomly within a range. Active hours keep it quiet in the evenings. Pause anytime with one click.
- Micro remindersA tiny glowing orb floats up, guides you through a quick 3-round breath, and quietly disappears on its own — no tapping required. Set the interval or disable entirely.
- Meeting-awareGlimt automatically pauses when your microphone or camera is active, so it never interrupts a call. No audio or video is ever captured — it only checks whether the devices are in use, nothing more.
