Turn your Mac trackpad into a gentle breathing guide
Breva turns your Mac trackpad into a gentle breathing guide. Choose a breathing pattern, set a session length, and follow a soft expanding orb with optional audio and haptic cues. It works locally, needs no account, and helps you take short reset breaks without reaching for your phone.
I built Breva because I wanted a tiny reset ritual that lived on my Mac instead of my phone.
Most breathing apps pull me into a separate device, a subscription funnel, or a full meditation experience. I wanted the opposite: fewer features, less ceremony, and a quick way to reset from the Mac I’m already using. Breva is intentionally smaller: pick a rhythm, choose 3, 5, 10 minutes, or unlimited, and follow the orb, tones, and trackpad taps.
The unusual part is the haptic guidance. If your Mac trackpad supports it, Breva can quietly tap the breathing rhythm under your fingers, which makes it easier to follow without staring at the screen.
What is in this first version: - Coherent, Easy Calm, Balanced, Calm, Box, and 4-7-8 Sleep patterns - 3, 5, 10 minute, and unlimited sessions - Visual, audio, and trackpad haptic cues - Menu bar quick actions - Local session history and preferences - No account required - Oh, and it's free :)
I would love feedback on two things: - Which breathing pattern feels most useful during the workday? - Does the trackpad haptic guidance make the session easier to follow?
Thanks for taking a look.

Hey Product Hunt,
I built Breva because I wanted a tiny reset ritual that lived on my Mac instead of my phone.
