Stressful computer work causes a dangerous restriction in our breathing that can lead to low level suffocation. SmooothDBA keeps your breathing open using an interesting, always-on, animation, that is totally controllable. SmooothDBA displays a soft, slow moving animation to guide you in advanced relaxation breathing. Synchronize your breathing with the animation. Adjust the animation's behavioral properties, then use it to develop mastery over stress in intense environments.

Version 3.1.1 includes an uninstaller upgrade and the ability to locate the animation anywhere on the desktop.

Editor's review of Smoooth Deep Breathing Assistant This simple program guides users in deep breathing exercises, but its stingy trial period will have you breathing a sigh of displeasure. Smoooth Deep Breathing Assistant displays an animated floating guide just above the Taskbar that expands and contracts. With the program settings, you can select one of three shapes, adjust transparency, and change the rate from fewer breaths per minute for relaxation to a faster rate for stimulation. You can choose from two special modes or create your own to alter the length of the inhale or exhale. Though it stays on top, the graphic is small and can be moved anywhere on your desktop so that it doesn't impede working on your computer. The program would benefit from a status bar or another easy-to-understand display that lets you know both the current rate and mode. Additionally, the three-day trial could be more generous. Smoooth Deep Breathing Assistant will help anyone moderate his or her breathing with its simple, pulsating graphic display.
