Nafas: Breathing Gymnastics Application

Human-Computer Interaction 2024-12-09 v1

Abstract

Long sessions of computer use introduce physical and mental health risks, particularly for programmers and intensive computer users. Breathing exercises can improve focus, reduce stress, and overall well-being. However, existing tools for such practices are often app-based, requiring users to leave their workspace. In this technical report, we introduce Nafas, a command-line interface (CLI) application designed specifically for computer users, enabling them to perform breathing exercises directly within the terminal. Nafas offers structured breathing programs with various levels tailored to the needs of busy developers and other intensive computer users.
