Great idea! Wish the speed was bit more. I think it would be cool if it takes exactly 1 second to bounce between the two paddles.

On similar note, I tested every grocery list app and ended up with papers and pencil

When you say “I’ll try to do something…” you are giving a heads up to the other person that you may give up on that thing at any time. There is no commitment.

Its almost like impulse buying so I call it impulse coding. I have done it before I am sure will do it again.

> Lightly is incredibly slow

Its relative! Sitting on a couch and watching the pixel move from the sun to the earth for 8 minutes feels incredibly slow but if you are actually traveling in a light speed aircraft then it won’t feel that slow.

for me the out of sync happens during the transition between cycles. I think the problem is the visualization in this 4-7-8 app. you don't know when the exhale is going to end, you are almost at the end of exhale and inhale starts immediately. .There should be a small gap of 1 between the cycles 4-7-8-1-4-7-8-1 ... or the animation should indicate when the exhale is going to end.

Nice app! Wish there was a small interval between the cycles for catchup. After first cycle the next inhale starts immediately, and from the visualization you don't know exactly when the first cycle is going to end unless you keep the count yourself. I think after exhale there should be a gap of maybe 1 to catch up. INHALE-HOLD-EXHALE-CATCHTUP - inhaling for 4 counts, holding for 7, exhaling for 8, and catch up 1.

I ended up in the same situation with this 4-7-8 Breathing. Actually with this one the problem for me is that there is no interval between cycles. After first cycle the next inhale starts immediately, and from the visualization you don't know exactly when the first cycle is going to end unless you keep the count yourself. I think after exhale there should be a gap of maybe 1 to catch up. INHALE-HOLD-EXHALE-CATCHTUP - inhaling for 4 counts, holding for 7, exhaling for 8, and catch up 1.
