I put this gif into a floating window, with a chrome extension using the Picture-in-Picture API: https://googlechrome.github.io/samples/picture-in-picture/

Chrome extension: https://github.com/b3ting/breathe

I love it! I thought it wasn't going to stay on top when I switched to another app but it did, it works great

Thank you for making this.

Wow! This is a really straight forward solution to run something like breathe on linux, really cool! Do you mind if I put this as an alternative on the readme while I code up a cross-platform solution?

Sure! I was about to code one myself in Rust as practice but then realised this path just requires minimal dependencies and a one liner haha.

Just a side note, based on my experience and reading “the healing power of breath” , it might be that if you are below average size or above average size, the optimal rhythm might be different for you.
