  Sounds interesting. Unfortunately not available in my country in the Android app store. I live in The Netherlands. If you're looking for feedback, you might want to double check this :)

    You are absolutely right. Android is currently only released in DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein), iOS has wider availability. I was a little anxious about full exposure… Netherlands is on top of my list for Android

  OT did GitHub change their default fonts? This MD file shows up "differently" than I am used to, today.

  can you please review login requirement?

    Honest answer: it is a commercial app with a 14 day free trial and the login is tied to that. No deeper technical reason. I understand that this is annoying when you just want to try it. I will think about a local-only mode… Thanks for the question.

      In the README it says<p>&gt; Do I need an account to try it? Not for the core breathing biofeedback; that works without creating one. Some surrounding features in the app use an account; the part this repo is about does not.<p>I downloaded the app based on this, but you can’t use it at all without creating an account. Please review your AI’s output.

        You are absolutely right and I am sorry. The README is misleading. The core detection runs without an account in the code, but in the published app you currently can not reach it without signing up. README is corrected and I look at adding a guest mode. Thanks for catching this.

      Appreciate the directness, but pro-tip from an ex-mobile dev; you&#x27;ll convert way better with IAP subscriptions rather than your own account system

        Thanks, that is actually really useful. I chose the account system because I had it from the web side, but I see your point. Will think it through properly.
