Breath Bar
Slow your breathing without stopping work.
A thin bar on the edge of your screen rises and falls at a calm pace. Glance at it, breathe with it, and carry on with what you're doing.
Free. Windows 10 or 11. No account. Seeing a blue warning?

Resonance breathing
Slow, even and easy to keep up with.
No break to take
You don't stop, open anything or find a quiet room. The bar stays beside your work, and your clicks go straight through it.
Easy to look at, easy to ignore
It sits at the edge of your vision. Glance over when you remember, and forget about it when you're busy.
Feels like yours
Set your own rhythm, colour and position, or swap the plain bar for a scene that moves with your breath.
Free to use. Pro if you want more.

What to expect
- It's a guide, not a treatment. Breath Bar shows a pace to follow. It isn't a medical product and doesn't promise results.
- It's new. Windows is out now. Android, iPhone and Mac are on the way.
- You'll need to look at it. It won't nag you, so it only helps when you glance over and follow it.
- It's private. There's no account. The app only goes online to check the time (which you can turn off), look for updates and check a Pro license. Privacy details.
Installing on Windows
Breath Bar is new and made by one person, so Windows doesn't recognise it yet. The first time you open the installer, Windows may show a blue box saying it "protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway. After that, Breath Bar installs and keeps itself up to date.
