I know I'm getting old when I have to stop and check for satire at the mention of "a breathing app". That sounds like an Onion headline, to me. Glad you had success!

It's funny that your username is the exact name of my app

The modern smartphone user. Not only incapable of walking down the street without Maps guidance, now breathing requires prompting too.

May fate preserve us all from power outages.

Should be a movie.

You're minimizing this. That's like saying "you have legs that can move, yet you need someone to guide you through yoga!"

Lots of benefits can be gained from practicing disciplined breathing, and some people want an app.

Furthermore, you would be surprised at how dysregulated one's breathing can become when using a computer all day, especially for gaming, or communicating using the keyboard, rather than having human conversations.

I have found that my breathing has become quite undisciplined and irregular. Also inadequate support, in terms of coming from the diaphragm and all. I sang in choirs for over 20 years. Well-regulated breathing is essential to our health in all respects.

> Well-regulated breathing is essential to our health in all respects.

Absolutely. Including mental and spiritual health.

Startup idea to unlock phone/PC by a number of deep breaths as password?
