We could all learn to breathe a little better when we're at our desks

Grinding, focused, getting stuff done, but forgetting to breathe
— here is a little helper to remind you.

Breathing exercises

  • Guided patternsChoose from three proven techniques — Just Breathe, Box Breath, and 4-7-8 — or dial in your own.
  • Beautiful breathing orbA glowing orb expands and contracts with your breath. Easy to follow without thinking.
  • Settling countdownA short intro prompt plays before each session so you arrive at the breath already calm.
  • RoundsSessions repeat up to 20 times — long enough to feel the effect, short enough to fit between meetings.

Smart reminders

  • Set it and forget itTaps you on the shoulder at a fixed interval or randomly within a range. Active hours keep it quiet in the evenings. Pause anytime with one click.
  • Micro remindersA tiny glowing orb floats up, guides you through a quick 3-round breath, and quietly disappears on its own — no tapping required. Set the interval or disable entirely.
  • Meeting-awareGlimt automatically pauses when your microphone or camera is active, so it never interrupts a call. No audio or video is ever captured — it only checks whether the devices are in use, nothing more.

Designed for macOS

  • Lives in the menu barNo dock icon, no clutter. Glimt is always a click away when you need it.
  • Native look and feelFrosted glass windows and smooth animations that feel right at home on macOS.
  • Stays out of your wayThe prompt floats above your work, does its job, and disappears. No fuss.
  • Auto-updatesNew versions install silently in the background. You're always on the latest.
