Calm for Chrome Extension

Do you find yourself mindlessly checking websites and wish you did so less frequently? Calm for Chrome will invite you to take a deep breath before letting you check a website on your “blacklist.” It doesn’t block you from doing anything but instead just makes you more mindful of what you are doing. If you realize, after taking a deep breath, that you were mindlessly checking a site, you can, at that point, simply close the page, or alternatively, take a healthier break offered via www.calm.com.

We believe this extension will work better than a website blocker or an extension that completely blocks websites, because those types of extensions eventually becomes so annoying that we uninstall them.

If the breath bubble is occurring too frequently for you, we offer a number of ways to adjust this extension. You can add and remove sites from your blacklist. You can also make the bubble occur a smaller percent of the time (e.g., if you only want an occasional mindfulness reminder), and you can set a minimum amount of time that must pass before a breath bubble is allowed to occur again (e.g., if once you start taking a break you want at least 15 minutes of time without a mindfulness reminder).

Welcome to a calmer chrome!

Tan Wei Wen Bradley (Asrjc) (ID: 000000f8fb0de803) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/15/2022 The premise itself is amazing, get people to think about what they are doing with their time when indulging in vices or just calming down and meditating right? WRONG! The execution I would say is not up to par with other extensions I have seen, which could be solved 1. When there is a bad internet connection like mine, the "breathe in, breathe out" loads before the actual moving circle, resulting in the circle being small when it says breathe in

Lucilla Croci (ID: 000000912bab858d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/14/2020 Bellissima ed utile estensione per calmare la mente e ridurre lo stress, in pochi minuti, peccato solo, che completata la registrazione, la pagina dell' estensione non è disponibile. ( ciò avviene attraverso il mio pc fisso, non credo sia un problema riguardante il pc, ma l' estensione....).Inoltre il linguaggio è inglese, non modificabile. Soprattutto, nel reparto musica, è necessario effettuare un' abbonamento immediato ( pagamento ); solo qualche canzone rilassante è gratuita. Consiglio pienamente l' estensione di meditazione e relax " NimbusMind ". Buona giornata

Wing Yan HUNG (ID: 000000565f821f6b) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/11/2020 The "continue to the site" option never appears. I opted for taking one breath but the bubble just keep going and there is no way to make it go away. Bug!
