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.
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?
@renchu_song thanks! Right now you can adjust the length of each breath up to 5 seconds. For sessions there is no limit - you can stay on that new tab for as long as you wish. I typically do 1 minute sessions, but have done longer as well.

@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!

Congrats on the launch! π
I absolutely love the idea of turning something as simple as opening a new tab into a mindful moment.
As someone who opens way too many tabs throughout the day (guilty π ), this is a brilliant way to reduce stress and stay focused. Definitely something we all need in our busy digital lives.

I appreciate the simplicity. It is an innovative method of reminding oneself to breathe when one is overwhelmed by tabs. Ideal for a brief mental refresher during work. Eric, I wish you the best of success with the launch.
