What it does

Pixel Thoughts is your meditation web space. If you experience any sort of anxiety, stress or depression, you can type your worries inside the moon and watch them fly away for 60 seconds surrounded by a relaxing music and background. Release the stress and clear your mind for a healthy life.

Pixel Thoughts is a free web-based tool that helps you let go of a stressful thought in 60 seconds. Type what's bothering you into an animated star. Over one minute, the star shrinks and fades into the night sky while calming messages appear on screen. The thought visually dissolves. Think of it as an interactive meditation you use right in your browser, with nothing to install. It's a simple thought exercise: you put a stressful thought into a star and watch it shrink. People come here to empty their mind, calm down, and let go of a worry. Some call it the worry star. Whatever you call it, the idea is the same. You give the thought somewhere to go, and you watch it get smaller until it's…from pixelthoughts.co

    Hey HN, I've had this idea stuck in my head ever since I published Year in Pixels [1]. I've been adding a little thing here and there to this app, and now it feels nice enough to share. It's very interesting what daily tracking does to one's mind. While I already have apps to track everything else like sleep, heart rate, etc., I was still missing something to track my mood.
