I am Vidunas founder of Be present and inspired by the Erkhart Tolle and some breath-work practices. The idea of being present provided the simple effective tool for everyone to be more present during the day.
🌬️ Be Present — One Tab, One Breath
Open a new tab. Take one deep breath. Feel the difference.
Be Present turns every new tab into a mindful pause with a calming, science-backed 4:8 breathing exercise — 4 seconds in, 8 seconds out. It's the fastest way to reset your focus and calm your mind, without breaking your flow.
✅ The Power of One Breath, Over and Over
You don’t need 20 minutes of silence to change your state of mind. You need one intentional breath — repeated throughout the day.
Every time you open a tab, Be Present invites you to pause and breathe — just once. And that’s the magic. It creates dozens of tiny check-ins with yourself, quietly rewiring your day for clarity, calm, and presence.
💡 Why 4:8 Breathing Works
The 4:8 breathing pattern is simple, science-backed, and incredibly effective:
🧘♀️ Calms your nervous system — Activates your body’s natural “rest and digest” state.
🧠 Improves focus — Just one breath gives your brain a reset in under 15 seconds.
❤️ Lowers stress & anxiety — Slow exhales signal safety and regulate emotion.
🔄 Builds mindfulness habits — A few deep breaths a day lead to lasting change.
🌱 Why One Breath, Many Times Matters
🛑 Interrupt autopilot That breath breaks the scroll. You pause. You remember you’re here — not just reacting.
⚡ Real-time grounding No need to wait for a meditation session. You reconnect now, in the middle of real life.
🌊 Micro-habits, big shifts One breath. Again and again. That’s how mindfulness becomes your baseline.
This isn’t a meditation timer. It’s presence, built into your day. At your desk. In your tabs. In the noise. No pressure. Just presence.
Why isn't there a way to close after breathing is done so that I can move to my regular shortcuts?

Is the extension compatible with all major browsers or is it currently just for Chrome?
@claudio_fanetti Chrome + brave
Can this be used offline or does it need an internet connection to load the new tab visuals and animations?
