Box Breathing Buddy - Calm your mind in between tabs

Practice box breathing to reduce stress and improve focus when opening a new tab in Chrome. Each time you open a new tab (if you're like me that's too often!), you're guided through a calming box breathing session - helping you reset and refocus.

@ericjrems Congratulations on the launch of Box Breathing Buddy, Eric! It's a clever way to merge stress relief with productivity. Users might find it beneficial to adjust the timing of the breathing exercises to better fit their workflow. Have you considered adding customization options for the duration of each breathing phase? This could enhance the user experience significantly. Looking forward to seeing how you plan to evolve the extension based on user feedback!

A must have tool it helps in : - Stress Reduction: Helps calm the nervous system by promoting slower, deeper breathing, lowering stress levels. - Improved Focus: Regular practice enhances mental clarity and concentration. - Emotional Regulation: Aids in managing emotions during stressful situations by encouraging mindful breathing. - Physical Health: Can improve cardiovascular health, heart rate variability, and lower blood pressure. - Versatility: Useful anytime—whether during stress, before sleep, or as a quick reset between tasks. This makes it a valuable tool for daily well-being​

Congrats on the launch! It's a fantastic idea to incorporate mindfulness into daily browsing habits. I'm curious to know, what inspired you to introduce this feature, and have you received positive feedback from users who have tried it out?

Hey Eric,

Just a little request. If you could add a sound to the breathing in and breathing out - kinda like how Calm did it (its been depricated now) - it would allow me to work while breathing and staying focused without being stuck at the new tab screen.

It would instantly make this product and it's usefulness to make us more productive 10x better.
