What does HackerNews think of breathly-app?

Box breathing has actually worked for me. It's a nice quick way to get a moment of calm in a busy day. Just a few minutes can make an immediate difference in mood.

There's a zillion apps; I tried a lot of them and settled on Breathly. The UI is simple, it's open source, and it's free without bullshit. https://github.com/mmazzarolo/breathly-app

Author here. I created Breathly a couple of years ago, mostly as an exercise while also trying to ship something useful. It's a minimalistic free and open-source app for daily relaxation and breath training.

There are no ads, no in-app purchases, and no trackers in Breathly.
