Stillness Buddy

#1 Post by Colonel Panic »

Here's an application which has caught my attention recently;

https://www.stillnessbuddy.com/

Anyone who practices meditation, or wants to "chill out and relax" at odd times during the day when they're on a computer, is likely to want to have a look at this. The trouble is that at present it's only available for Windows and Mac OSX and doesn't run on Linux.

Is it possible for someome to come up with something similar for Puppy, without of course infringing upon the licence of the original? I think the idea is worth considering.

Maybe a modified version of parental control would suffice ...

Personally a screensaver saying "relax" which interrupted what I was doing would have the opposite effect.

Thanks for replying.

Perhaps, but I think Stillness Puppy has a lot more going for it than than just a screensaver saying "relax"; it has a set of exercises to go with it. I don't know more than that because I don't have Windows or Mac OSX to try it out on.
