Turns AI wait time into HRV-boosting breathing sessions using Claude hooks.

Strengths
  • •Genuinely clever repurposing of 10-60s idle time during AI thinking
  • •Four breathing patterns with configurable delay and auto-dismiss via tmux
Weaknesses
  • •Requires tmux and Claude Code, excluding most potential users
  • •Nice-to-have wellness feature rather than solving a critical problem

Target Audience

Claude Code users who work in tmux

Post Description

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.
