Practice box breathing to reduce stress and improve focus when opening a new tab in Chrome. Each time you open a new tab (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!
