Great.

I only get a line animation in the MacOS terminal app, under zsh, it doesn't look like the description.

Thanks for the feedback! You're right. I haven’t tested it on Terminal.app yet. It works well on iTerm2 and most Linux terminals, but I’ll review it on Terminal.app soon and update the tool or the README to reflect compatibility. Really appreciate you pointing that out.

Update: Just released v0.3.1 with Terminal.app compatibility fixed! The tool now auto-detects your terminal and adapts gracefully. You'll see a beautiful progressive breathing animation that flows like: Inhale: · → ○ → ●○○ → ●●●● (building up) Exhale: ●●●● → ●○○ → ○ → · (releasing down) Try the latest version - it should breathe beautifully on Terminal.app now. Thanks for helping make mindfulness accessible to everyone!

Looks great, though I must say I am not a huge fan of the yoga-namaste-style theme. Reminds me of spas where the "relaxing" music is stock ambient crap.

If I had more time, I'd theme it with a more rock n roll approach.

ihiep•2h ago
Whether spa or rock, both return you to now.

Any plans for additional commands? I was thinking that a 'focus' command with a short to-do list (perhaps paired with some Stoic quips) could be useful in keeping one on track over the course of the day.

quite original, bringing mindfulness to coding good luck with it
j4cobgarby•1h ago
This is quite nice! I found the name zenta slightly inconvenient to remember and type, so I renamed the executable to 'relax', but the help messages still say 'zenta'. As a small fix, maybe you can make the help messages print argv[0] as the executable name?

I experienced mindfulness when I moved to i3wm.

Nice! Would be cool if implemented also as a progress bar.. :)

Thanks for this. We need more of this kind of energy in the world.
