You probably breathe fine when you're relaxed
You probably breathe fine when you're relaxed. It's the other hours — deep in building your dreams, grinding through your todos or in back-to-back meetings — where it gets shallow, fast, and forgotten. Glimt lives in your menu bar. It watches your day quietly. At whatever interval feels right to you, it floats a gentle breathing prompt over your screen, guides you through a round of Box Breathing, 4-7-8, or Just Breathe, and disappears when you're done. You go back to work. Calmer. That's it. No apps to open. No routines to remember. BREATHING EXERCISES Choose from three proven techniques — or build your own: • Just Breathe (5–5) — a slow, equal inhale and exhale. Simple enough to do in any moment, anywhere. • Box Breathing (4–4–4–4) — the pattern used by Navy SEALs and athletes to reset the nervous system under pressure. Equal phases, adjustable length. • 4-7-8 — a longer hold that slows the heart rate. Good for anxiety and winding down after intensity. • Custom — set your own inhale, hold, exhale, and hold-out durations. Every phase is independent. A glowing orb expands and contracts with your breath — easy to follow without thinking. A short countdown plays before each session so you arrive at the breath already calm. Sessions run 1–20 rounds, short enough to fit between any two meetings. • Playlists — Combine sequences of breath into a playlist. Fully customized sessions with maybe a warm up, a main course and a cool down. SMART REMINDERS Set an interval and forget it. Glimt taps you on the shoulder at fixed or random intervals throughout your working hours. • Fixed or random scheduling — remind me every 45 minutes, or somewhere between 20 and 60. • Active Hours — define your work window. Glimt stays quiet before your day starts and after it ends. • Smart Pause — automatically holds reminders whenever any app is using your microphone or camera. You'll never get interrupted mid-call. It only checks whether devices are in use — it records nothing, captures nothing. • Micro Reminders — a tiny glowing orb floats up, guides you through a quiet 3-round breath, and disappears on its own. No tapping required. • Pause anytime — silence all reminders for a focus session with one click. Resume whenever you're ready. MACOS SHORTCUTS INTEGRATION Glimt connects to the macOS Shortcuts app. Assign any shortcut to fire when a breathing session starts or ends — or when a micro reminder plays. Run as many as you like per event, in sequence. Practical examples: • Pause music when breathing starts, resume when it ends • Set Slack status to Away or BRB automatically • Enable Do Not Disturb or a Focus mode • Send yourself a reminder, log to a note, trigger a HomeKit scene If a shortcut gets renamed or deleted in Shortcuts, Glimt flags it so nothing breaks silently. DESIGNED FOR MACOS • Lives in the menu bar — no dock icon, no clutter • Frosted glass windows and smooth animations that feel native • The prompt floats above your work and disappears when it's done • Launch at login so it's always ready • Silent auto-updates in the background ONE-TIME PURCHASE.
