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

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!

I love this, congratulations on your launch. I get so overwhelmed by the number of tasks I have to perform seemingly at once, I'm installing this now to give it a go!

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.

Just came across Box Breathing Buddy—this sounds like a fantastic tool for managing stress! Practicing box breathing while opening new tabs could really help improve focus throughout the day.Is breathing guide customizable in terms of duration or pace? It would be great to tailor it to personal preferences.

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!
