MindfulClaude – Guided breathing during Claude Code's thinking time

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.

Contribute to halluton/Mindful-Claude development by creating an account on GitHub.

Every prompt you send to Claude gives you 10-60+ seconds of dead time. Stop wasting it. This extension turns Claude's thinking time into guided breathing exercises. It auto-launches in your terminal when Claude starts working and disappears when it's done. You stay in flow, your nervous system gets a workout, and you never leave your terminal. Slow, structured breathing at ~5.5 breaths per minute increases heart rate variability (HRV), a key biomarker of stress resilience and cardiovascular health. Even brief sessions reduce cortisol and sharpen focus. Every prompt becomes a micro-session for your nervous system. # Install tmux if you don't have it brew install tmux # macOS # apt install…from github.com

  • Clauditate – Breathing exercises while Claude Code is thinking2025 · github.com · ▲6

    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

    I got tired of Claude Code forgetting all my context every time I open a new session: set-up decisions, how I like my margins, decision history. etc. We built a shared memory layer you can drop in as a Claude Code Skill. It’s basically a tiny memory DB with recall that remembers your sessions. Not magic. Not AGI. Just state. Install in Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add https://github.com/mutable-state-inc/ensue-skill /plugin install ensue-memory # restart Claude Code What it does: (1) persists context between sessions (2) semantic & temportal search (not just…

    Claude Code tends to be just slow enough you have time to tab away and get distracted. This plugin uses Claude Code's hooks to play music when Claude is waiting for user input so you don't just leave it sitting for 15 minutes.

    Hi HN, I’m a product designer by background, not a traditional software engineer. Over the last year, tools like Claude and ChatGPT completely changed how I work. I started with small internal tools, and now I’m “vibe coding” multiple highly personalized apps. As I iterated between Claude Code (implementation) and ChatGPT (ideation / thinking), I kept running into the same problem. To think clearly, I had to repeatedly re-explain: - what the code currently does, - what changed recently, - and why certain decisions were made. That re-summarization step became a real bottleneck. So I…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
