Box Breathing Buddy - Calm your mind in between tabs

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Eric, and I'm excited to share Box Breathing Buddy—a Chrome extension born from my own journey to find calm and focus. After discovering box breathing through The Huberman Podcast and personally experiencing its benefits for focus and stress relief, I realized I needed a subtle reminder to practice regularly. That's why we (me 🤝 Claude 🤖) created this simple Chrome extension: to help myself and others easily incorporate this powerful technique into our daily lives, one new tab at a time (I open a lot of them!). Why Box Breathing Buddy? ⏱️ Effortless Integration into your workflow 🎯 Boost Focus 🧘‍♂️ Instant Calm 🌟 Science-Backed Technique How It Works: Every time you open a new tab, Box Breathing Buddy guides you through a simple 4-step breathing exercise: inhale, hold, exhale, and hold again. It's designed for both beginners and seasoned practitioners. Give Box Breathing Buddy a try and I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Love the fact that it's a chrome extension, don't need to install an app on my phone and get distracted... congrats on the launch @ericjrems 🤠

This is an incredible idea, @ericjrems! Box Breathing Buddy can really transform how we manage stress and focus during the day. I appreciate the science-backed approach. Curious if you plan to introduce any advanced settings for more experienced users who might want longer breathing sessions?

Hey Eric, Can users adjust the length of each breath or the number of cycles? It would be great to know if there's flexibility for different skill levels or preferences. Congrats on the launch!
