   I just found the setting in iOS and it works great! Thanks for pointing this out.. I was looking for a way to implement it on iOS but now there is no need :)

   Sorry to hear.. Dumb question but have you tried restarting firefox?

   Yeah, it gives you an idea of how something is pronounced but it is not satisfying at all... Unfortunately I am using the SpeechSynthesis API and I have no way of making the voices more natural.

   It is a good idea! I will try to implement it and get a setting inside the menu-bar to enable/disable it.

   Thanks helsinkiandrew, but there is no need! I will try to get it into the chrome store ASAP.

   At the time I wrote the readme of the repo none of my friends found the extension useful so I was skeptical about paying 5$ for something I wasn't sure anyone would use... You are totally right, it's only 5$ and it was very irrat

   Haha sorry - I never thought anyone would miss a language that isn't in the Web Speech API of firefox/chrome...

    I will take a look again on the application process for the chrome store... If a lot of people find it useful I don't mind paying the fee :)

    Thanks! There are plenty of breathing exercises but the one I use the most is the 4-4-4-4 (it comes by default). I also enable progression, increasing each time interval by 0.1 seconds every two minutes for 20/30 times (you can tweak a

    Hi everyone! Breathe is a (distraction-free) peripheral breath trainer, it helps you breathe correctly so you can stay calm and focus on what matters. I started breathe 2 weeks ago after reading some articles on the benefits of breathing co

    Someone on the comments implemented a chrome extension that opens up a gif with the same ratios as breathe (4-4-4). It works great to be honest. Here is the link: https://github.com/b3ting/breathe

    I have been using it all day and I felt way calmer. For me (I think I am a fast breather) it feels like I am meditating when I am able to follow the breathing exercise. Since it has been a day since I started using it I can't tell anyt

    I tried some iOS apps and some of them had audible cues as very low chords (they were very relaxing) but since I am someone that listens to music a lot I thought they would bother other people... Quick question: imagine I have a magic way

    I am quite new to breathing exercises but I also like the 4-7-8 exercise a lot! I was thinking about implementing the most known exercises and then have the option to create your own exercises. A lot of people have been pointing out that th

    You are totally right. I am going to implent that feature, after using it for a while I realised that depending on the background it was hard to tell if the ball was growing or shrinking

    I love it! I thought it wasn't going to stay on top when I switched to another app but it did, it works great

    Wow! This is a really straight forward solution to run something like breathe on linux, really cool! Do you mind if I put this as an alternative on the readme while I code up a cross-platform solution?

    That is the next thing I am going to implement! There are several breathing exercises but normally (breathing in, breathing out...) the duration of each part is 4+ seconds.

    Yes! I hardcoded the app to make 4 seconds breathing in, 4 seconds holding your breath, 4 seconds breathing out and 4 seconds holding your breath again.

    I am glad you like it! This was a quick demo to see if it was useful for someone. I was hoping to implement the same idea on the menu bar and on the touch bar (for people who find a window annoying). A quick question: Why would you like to

    I don't know if any of you would be interested in this but after reading a lot of articles like this I programmed a simple app to help you breath while you work on the computer (distraction free). If you wanna check it out: https:&#x2
