Why?
In mid-2024, I was dealing with personal issues that led to anxiety. During this difficult time, I discovered that breathing exercises helped me significantly. I created Kosm as a no-nonsense breathing app - something simple and effective that I could use myself. What started as a personal tool gradually evolved as I added more features over time, and I continue to develop it based on what helps people find calm in their daily lives.
Challenges
Working with timers in Swift is more complex than expected - getting precise timing, stopping, pausing and updating the timer on the fly requires careful implementation. I also had to research and learn about various types of breathing exercises to ensure the app offered scientifically-backed techniques.
