Last year Opera launched Opera One web browser with its built-in AI-powered Aria chatbot. Now the Norway-based company has launched its mindfulness-focused browser called Opera Air. It combines productivity tools with mindfulness features like break reminders, breathing exercises, and relaxing soundscapes.
Here’s what makes Opera Air special
Opera Air has a semi-transparent design and a floating sidebar, which is packed with tools to help you de-stress and stay focused for better productivity.
One of the standout features is “Boosts”, which plays a variety of soundscapes, including music, ambient sounds, and binaural beats. Binaural beats help with relaxation and focus by playing slightly different frequencies in each ear. Soundscapes can be played continuously or for a specific duration of time. The playback can be controlled from the sidebar easily.
Another key feature of Opera Air is the Break Reminder. It’s represented by an icon made up of three lines in the sidebar that gradually gray out as you work. Once the icon is fully faded, it’s time to take a break. Opera Air doesn’t just remind you to stop, but it also helps you make the most of your break with guided breathing exercises, neck stretches, full-body scans, and meditations that last up to 15 minutes.
Opera Air is more than just mindfulness
While mindfulness is the key feature of Opera Air (and perhaps the biggest reason I installed it immediately), it doesn’t lack the features of the default Opera browser, like a built-in ad blocker and free VPN, and access to Aria, Opera’s AI assistant. In summary, Opera Air encourages and helps you to become more mindful while including the plus points of the default Opera browser.
It’s available to download for free on Mac and Windows, making it an accessible option for anyone looking to balance productivity with mental wellbeing.
