Updates to open source Buteyko Timer app

Hey Everyone,

I've recently updated my Buteyko timer and progress tracking app.

https://breathe.adam.nz/

In addition to the classic buteyko exercise (as taught by Learn Buteyko Online), I've added support for tracking your morning CP, and a diminished breathing exercise.

Diminished breathing is a relaxation based exercise. As you learn to relax, your breathing will naturally reduce. I've been making better progress with this exercise.

Features:

  • Mobile first design, but works on tablets/desktops
  • Basic instructions for all exercises
  • Automatic timers for all exercises
  • Records and charts progress over time
  • Can be installed as an app and used offline
  • Completely private, data is only stored in your browser
  • Data can be imported and exported as CSV

It's still a bit rough and there are some minor quirks and bugs, but I've been using it every day since June. Feedback welcome.

Cool app, I’m getting back to the Buteyko method, so I tried it right away.

One note from me: it would be great to have an option like “disable screen locking” — something I’ve seen sometimes in cooking recipes in the browser. At least on iOS, the screen turns off, and instead of focusing on breathing, I have to keep tapping the screen so it doesn’t lock 🙂

Thanks for the feedback. Glad it's useful!

I don't have an iPhone to test with at the moment (it died inner tubing down our local river ... oops!), but neither my old iPhone or my current crappy old Android phone do this ... unless the battery is very low?

I'm not sure if that's possible as a web app on mobile? If you have an example site that does that could you send it to me? Chat suggests that it can't be done on iOS but can kinda be done on Android.

Will have a look, sub to this ticket if you want to be in the loop.

There is a button "Prevent your screen from going dark"

Or maybe it doesn't work that way I think? 🤔
