SaaS = Software as a Self-soothing
Instacalm -- because there's always things we cannot control in life. Within just a few hours using Figma Make I was able to spin up an app to instantly create a calming meditation practice through the one thing we can control: our breath.
I wanted to create something that was immediately usable and had zero learning curve so anyone could pick it up and chill-the-F-out in a matter of seconds.
Features:
- animated color theme and particles
- animated breath pacer for inhale & exhale cycles
- ambient background music
- optional affirmations
60 versions, 5 breath modes, 5 dark & light color themes, 5 soundscapes, and 80 affirmations later, there's a v1.0 Instacalm app. 😌 Enjoy.
Software as self-soothing’ is a powerful framing. Designing for nervous system regulation instead of productivity feels like a meaningful shift. The breath pacing + ambient layering makes it feel intentional rather than ornamental.
Thanks Abhiram 🙏🏼 All the details are indeed intentional.
It shows. When intention is consistent across micro-interactions, the experience feels cohesive rather than decorative
I would have liked to spent more time on all the details, but I always get my hackathon ideas w/in 24h of the deadline and only manage to find a few hours to work them out. ☺️
Appreciate your kind words. 💛
