# 🫁 BREATHE

> **Stress Intelligence Platform** — understand your stress before it controls you.

BREATHE is a full-stack web app that fuses psychometric lifestyle data and free-text journaling through an ML pipeline to give you a personalised stress score, trend charts, and actionable advice — all in a clean, dark-themed React dashboard.

---

## ✨ Features

### Core
- **Secure auth** — sign up / log in with hashed passwords and server-side sessions
- **Psychometric assessment** — 12 lifestyle sliders (sleep, work hours, screen time, caffeine …) + 4 categorical cues
- **Text journaling** — write freely; RoBERTa NLP analyses the sentiment
- **ML fusion** — tabular ensemble (LightGBM / CatBoost / XGBoost / Stacking) + RoBERTa → weighted probability fusion → 5-class stress output
- **Demo mode** — app runs fully with rule-based heuristics when ML model files are absent

### Dashboard
- Area timeline chart of stress scores
- Pie distribution of stress levels
- Stat cards (total assessments, latest level, average score, trend)
- Recent assessments with per-assessment detail modal
- Stress relief activity panel (accordion)

### Profile
- Upload a profile photo (JPG/PNG/GIF/WebP, max 2 MB)
- Set gender, working status, and date of birth
- Write a short bio
- **Anonymous mode** — toggle to hide your name in shared/exported views

### Gratitude Journal
- Write 3 prompted daily gratitude items + optional mood tag + free-text reflection
- All entries saved to your account with timestamps
- Paginated history view with expand/collapse and per-entry delete

### Daily To-Do
- Add tasks with High / Medium / Low priority
- Filter by All / Active / Done; bulk-clear completed tasks
- **Stored in browser localStorage only** — never sent to the server

### Breathe Hub
- Full-screen activity centre (no sidebar) — opens on login
- 6 activity cards: Gratitude Journal, Box Breathing, Daily To-Do, Body Scan, Sound Bath, Progressive Relaxation
- Guided exercise modal with step-through progress dots for breathing and relaxation exercises
- Quick nav buttons to Dashboard and Profile

## 🚀 Quick Start

> Full instructions are in [SETUP.md](SETUP.md). This is the short version.

### Prerequisites
- Python ≥ 3.10
- Node.js ≥ 18 + npm ≥ 9

### 1 — Install Python deps
```bash
cd breathe-app
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate          # Windows: venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### 2 — Configure environment
```bash
cp .env.example .env
# edit .env — set SECRET_KEY at minimum
```

### 3 — Install frontend deps
```bash
cd frontend && npm install && cd ..
```

### 3.1 — Docker deployment support
This repo includes a root-level `Dockerfile` so you can build the app as a single container for Hugging Face Spaces or any Docker host.

### 4 — Run (two terminals)

**Terminal 1 — Flask API (port 5000)**
```bash
source venv/bin/activate
python app.py
```

**Terminal 2 — React dev server (port 5173)**
```bash
cd frontend
npm run dev
```

Open **http://localhost:5173** — after login you land on the Breathe hub 🎉
