Products that do what Clauditate – Breathing exercises while Claude Code is thinking does
Hello HN! I realized how often my mind wanders while waiting for Claude to finish "thinking". So I built Clauditate, a lightweight meditation menubar app that helps you with some breathing exercises. It uses Claude Code hooks and pops up with a breathing guide. I added some heuristics to make it less "annoying", for example if you dismiss it twice within 30 mins, it won't show up for another 2 hours. You can also tweak this behavior (and more) in the settings. It's early, but I'd love to hear your feedback! Github: https://github.com/ykumards/clauditate

Every time Claude Code thinks, you get 10-60s of idle time, usually spent on context switching or doomscrolling. I turned it into breathing exercises that keep you focused and improve your heart rate variability. Auto-launches a tmux pane using hooks when Claude starts working and disappears when it finishes.

I had really bad health anxiety the last 2 years that severely impacted my quality of life. I started using Claude for support and was surprised by how much it helped. I realised how much potential there is for LLMs to provide an objective perspective on stressful thoughts - so I built an app that helps you form a habit around this to reduce long term anxiety. You vent what's on your mind and an LLM will evaluate your thoughts objectively (heavily leaning on CBT techniques), to help you maintain a more balanced perspective. Technical stack: - Flutter (to release cross-platform) - OpenAI API…

I was going through my app subscriptions and realized I was paying $15 for a pretty good workout app, which seemed a bit high to me. As a software engineer who is also well versed in claude code, I realized that I could likely vibecode a very similar app, or even build something more to my liking. I challenged my self to build something roughly equivalent this afternoon. Workflow was: start with a detailed spec from Claude code describing many of the features common in workout apps. Then paste this into lovable to have it build out the initial mvp. Once that was built, I used claude code…

I am a product designer by profession, and recently, I ventured into coding and started developing applications. Today, I'm excited to share a project I've been passionately working on. The concept is a voice-activated journal: just voice-record your thoughts, and the app will transcribe them into text. I built this to help those like me who struggle to build a journaling habit. Also has features that encourage habbit building like a streak/tracker and a threshold marker encouraging you to record a minimum amount. I used OpneAI Whisper to power the transcriptions which means you can…

Hi HN, While waiting for Claude Code to finish running, It's very tempting to start another task or browse the internet. This is what happened to me so I built Foyer to try to learn about what the agents are working on instead of losing focus. Product is an early MVP and would love some feedback on this.

Hi guys; Over the weekend I've created this using Claude Code. It's an ear training app destined to teach intonation and intervals to not so talented musicians like me. I spend many year playing guitar without a clear feeling on what intonation really was. It was after some string tuning exercises that it clicked for me. The freq sliding into the right place and feeling the correctness. I hope this app can helps other to feel that for the first time, or to increase the recognition of less common intervals. Any feedback is appreciated.

I built Claudio to solve a simple problem: typing is slow when you have complex thoughts to share with Claude. This Chrome extension adds a microphone button to Claude.ai that uses OpenAI Whisper for transcription. Key features: - One-click voice recording with intelligent progress tracking - Audio file upload support (perfect for mobile voice notes → desktop Claude workflow) - Speed control (1-2x compression) to reduce API costs - Private and secure - your OpenAI API key stays local - Real-time transcription stats and performance analytics Latest v1.2.1 fixes: - Improved audio duration…

Uses agent and Git Hooks to automatically create Git Notes on commit, containing the agent conversation that led to that commit. Works if either you or the agent commit. It's basically the same thing as entire.io just announced that they got $60m investment for. Except I got Claude Code to write it last week, in my spare time, without really paying attention. I certainly didn't read or write any of the code, except for one rubbish joke in the README. I've got a Claude Code instance working on Gemini CLI support and OpenCode support currently.
