Squair▲162
I built Squair because my phone was giving me anxiety - and it was also the only thing in my pocket when anxiety hit. The problem: 4 cups of coffee just to focus. Then the anxiety kicks in. Chest tight. Racing thoughts. Scrolling reels to "calm down" made it worse. I Googled "anxiety relief" at 2am and found box breathing — same technique Navy SEALs use in combat. First time I tried it, I felt the difference within 2 minutes. No crash. No pills. Just breathing. So I built an app around it. 6 months. Solo dev with a full-time job. 112 builds. 2 App Store rejections. Finally live. What it…

Breathe CLI – Paced resonance breathing in the macOS terminal▲132
I built a terminal app that paces slow breathing at 6 breaths per minute for vagal tone training. It's a single Python file, stdlib only, no dependencies — just run breathe and follow the bar. I'm a cardiology patient (HFrEF). Slow breathing at resonance frequency is one of the few non-pharmacological interventions shown to improve cardiac vagal tone and baroreflex sensitivity (Bernardi et al., Circulation 2002; Lancet 1998). I wanted a frictionless daily habit tool — no app store, no account, no subscription, just open terminal and go. Design constraints, all grounded in the clinical…
