Hey PH 👋
I'm Aaryan. I built Squair because my phone was giving me anxiety and it was also the only thing in my pocket when anxiety hit.
The problem I was solving for myself:
4 cups of coffee just to focus. Then the anxiety kicks in. Chest tight. Racing thoughts. Can't breathe properly. Scrolling reels to "calm down" - made it worse.
I Googled "anxiety relief" and found box breathing. Same technique Navy SEALs use in combat. First time I tried it: I could really feel the difference within 2 minutes.
No crash. No pills. Just breathing.
So I built Squair.
The build:
6 months, solo dev with full time job, countless nights & weekends & 112 builds later Squair was born.
What Squair actually does:
→ Zen Button — Panic attack in a meeting? One tap. Instant guided breathing.
→ Box Breathing — Navy SEAL technique. 2 minutes to calm.
→ 4-7-8 Breathing — Fall asleep faster. No pills.
→ Works offline — Anxiety doesn't wait for WiFi.
→ Free forever — Core breathing costs nothing.
Who this is for:
- Anxious developers who need focus on demand
- People who get panic attacks and need help NOW
- Anyone scrolling at 3am instead of sleeping
- People who can't afford $200/week therapy
- ADHD folks who need grounding when overwhelmed
My ask:
Try it. Tell me what breaks. Tell me what helps.
Built this because I needed it. Sharing because maybe you do too.

→ Android by end of January 2026.
PS: Believe it or not, I'm using Squair right now to calm my nerves before this launch.
What protocol do you use when stressed?
@mindofaaryan This is the real issue, gonna try that out

@bekjon_ibragimov Hope it helps. Let me know how it goes.

In the age of AI, I now everyday look at my phone screen every 5 mins or even less...... Gosh who knows how anxious and tired i feel every moment of my work and life. I seriously need Squair! Hope it could save me.

@cruise_chen This is exactly the story behind the build. Same cycle & checking phone constantly, feeling drained, checking again anyway.
The Zen button was made for moments like this. When you catch yourself in that loop, one tap, 2 minutes of box breathing, and your nervous system actually resets. Not a cure, but it breaks the spiral.
Try it and let me know if it helps. Genuinely want to know what works for people dealing with this.

Congrats on shipping @mindofaaryan ! 🔥 The framing really resonated, especially the “your phone used to give you anxiety, now it gives you calm.”
We’ve also been building a similar product (Lila) in this mental-performance space for creatives & founders, so was great to see someone else go after the same problem. Rooting for you.

@harkirat_singh3777 Appreciate it! That line came from staring at my phone at 2am realising it was both the problem and the only thing in my pocket to fix it.
Love that you're building in the same space - just checked out Lila, the creative/founder angle makes a lot of sense. This stuff is way underserved for people who actually need to perform under pressure.
Would be down to swap notes sometime. Rooting for you too.

@hkklaus97 The pre-meeting chest tightness, that's the exact moment this was built for. Two minutes before you walk in, nervous system reset, good to go.
Android end of Jan. You'll be the first to know.

“Works 100% Offline”, I love this freestyle, less limits, more start.
And when android will come? waiting for it.
Squair
@iwineday Exactly. Anxiety doesn't wait for WiFi - neither should the fix. Android is coming end of January. Already in the works. Appreciate the patience!
Huge congrats on the launch! 🚀 Squair hits a real pain point for anxious founders and creators by turning clinically backed Navy SEAL-style breathing protocols into a fast, focused tool rather than another noisy wellness app.
Squair
@zeiki_yu Thank you - and you nailed exactly what I was going for. "Tool not wellness app" was the north star the entire build.
Most apps in this space feel like homework. Meditation journeys, daily lessons, 30-day courses. I just wanted something I could hit when my chest gets tight before a meeting and move on with my day.
Appreciate you checking it out.
Squair
@dubd59 Means a lot. The noise isn't going anywhere, figured we need better tools to deal with it.
Hope it helps when you need it.
