Bio-adapting your screen experiences to improve performance & wellbeing simply & integrated - without more screen time.

About us

Unlock Peak Performance: Boost productivity, creativity, and wellbeing at work with our browser extension. Our solution is based on 10+ years of award-winning research and has 15x more engagement than the industry average. Our first patented browser extension offers: + energizing break reminders (20 sec to 2 min) + eye-strain reducing color & brightness filters for a soothing screen + data analytics Feel less stressed and more productive while on your screen. BreathingAI adapts your browser color and offers calming guided breaks when stress is detected through your webcam. Using our patented technology, your extension effortlessly elevates your mood, health, and optimizes your performance. How many hours do you spend on your screen? Work, video calls, school, social media…it all adds up! Excessive screen time is connected to increased stress, neck and joint pain, eye strain, zoom fatigue, and more. Some studies estimate that 80% of screen users suffer from screen apnea – unconsciously holding the breath while on your screen. Chronic breath-holding is associated with several avoidable ailments. Maybe you’ve tried to breathe better, to sit more straight or to relax your shoulders…but forget about it during your busy day. The extension builds healthy habits like meditation, breathing or posture exercises into your day. What if the screen adapts to soothe your stress? What if it gave you a gentle notice to remind you to take a quick mindfulness break? Your extension detects stress in real time, learns what colors calm you, then adapts your screen to effortlessly make you feel better. It suggests a short 20 sec to 2 min break, guided meditation, breathing exercise, or seated movement -- all at your workstation. With detailed analytics, see how your heart and breath rates improve while your break times accumulate. Watch your stress and anxiety go down while your mood and productivity goes up.

This is technology built with a clear purpose: to understand our human needs and champion our well-being. https://lnkd.in/eC_JywjA

  • Your shoulders slowly migrate forward with each hour at your screen. This subtle collapse compresses your spine, restricts your breathing, and creates a cascade of tension. Your body has a built-in reset for this postural drift: • Activates neglected rhomboid and mid-trapezius muscles • Restores proper scapular alignment and thoracic mobility • Reduces mechanical pressure on cervical vertebrae • Decreases muscle activation in overworked upper traps by 35% Biomechanics research shows that posture affects not just pain, but mood and cognitive function. Try this simple movement pattern that realigns your entire upper body.

  • Small tasks pile up in your mind, not just your to-do list. Each postponed decision creates mental friction that follows you everywhere. Your cognitive system has limited processing capacity: • Decision fatigue accumulates with each deferred choice • Working memory holds unfinished tasks at the cost of present focus • The Zeigarnik effect keeps postponed items mentally active • Completion provides immediate cognitive relief Psychology research confirms: mental clarity comes from fewer decisions, not better organization. Try this simple decision framework that transforms how your brain processes tasks.

  • Sometimes you need to calm down instantly. Before the difficult conversation. Before the big presentation. When anxiety spikes out of nowhere. Your body has a built-in emergency brake for stress: • Double inhale through nose maximizes alveolar oxygen exchange • Long exhale through mouth activates your vagus nerve • CO₂ levels drop rapidly, signaling safety to your brain • Parasympathetic nervous system engages within seconds Stanford neuroscience identified this as your fastest path to calm. Try this specific breathing pattern that shifts your entire nervous system. From fight-or-flight to focused in 10 seconds flat.

  • That burning, tired feeling in your eyes isn't from blue light. It's from forgetting to blink. Screen work hijacks your most basic eye function. Think expensive blue light glasses will fix it? They're solving the wrong problem: • Tear film breaks down without regular blinking • Dry eyes make concentration harder • Eye irritation builds throughout the day • Your natural blink reflex gets suppressed Your brain prioritizes focus over eye comfort. Try the simple reset in this card: 15 seconds every 15 minutes to restore what screen time disrupts. Your eyes will thank you by 3 PM.

  • Your breathing gets shallow when stress builds. Your nervous system stays stuck in fight-or-flight mode. Clear thinking becomes impossible. Think you can just "calm down" on command? Your biology disagrees: • Shallow breathing maintains stress hormones • Fight-or-flight blocks rational thinking • Stress compounds throughout your workday • Your nervous system needs a reset signal Stress builds faster than you realize during work. Try the simple technique in this card: 60 seconds to shift from stress mode to clarity mode.

    "Screenagers" sounds like a scary time for being a teenager. Stats show teens aren’t demanding more screen time—they want connection. No ‘kids these days’ narrative. The fact is, only 23% of Gen Z wants to work fully remote—compared with 35% of older generations. They’re not fleeing the office—they’re looking for context, mentorship, and real interactions. Unfortunately, most screens still treat us like robots: built for clickbait, the visual cortex, and a few finger taps—rather than our whole human system. This is where bio-personalized tech comes in: systems that sense when energy, focus, posture, or emotional bandwidth are slipping—and adapt and optimize in real time. Simple, smart defaults that respect cognition, mood, and—most importantly—human needs. Designed to finish screen tasks quicker and more effectively. Our research shows that when screen time recognizes people’s feelings and health, they become less stressed, more efficient, and spend less time on screens overall. Let’s design for presence and connection (inner and outer) - even when screens dominate. https://lnkd.in/dZ4k_spM?

    When we sigh, twice as much air flows into our lungs - nourishing the hundred millions of sphere-like alveoli in our lungs with oxygen...and bringing it through our body via our blood system. It's a simple meditation, too - bringing our awareness to our breathing away from thoughts, then taking a deep inhale with an effortless exhale, a simple sigh. With 23,000 breaths per day on average, this is a simple trick to get ourselves more energy and air in each moment. Enjoy and curious to learn how it works for you! #breathing #breathwork #lifehack #meditation #mindfulness

  • Your eyes are stuck in a rut. Same distance. Same tiny movements. Some muscles getting weaker every day. Sounds dramatic? Your six eye muscles tell a different story: • Only 2-3 muscles work during screen time • Visual tracking ability deteriorates over time • Fixed-focus creates dangerous imbalances • Weakness leads to strain and fatigue Screen work wasn't designed for human eyes. Try the simple exercise in this card: 30 seconds every 30 minutes to rebalance what screen time breaks. Turn muscle weakness into visual strength.
